Re: [Enigma-devel] Scottish Gaelic translation

[Fòram na Gàidhlig]

Intltool is great, but IMO it would take time to change everything over 
at this stage. Most of it would be simple leg work, but time consuming. 
All the xml files would have to be edited, adding underscores to the 
tags for all translatable strings.

You already have a script that seems to be working nicely. Is it worth 
the effort of switching tools just for 1 line of text in 1 desktop file?

The Debian patch adds a line in the style of:

Comment[de]=Decke Steinpaare mit einer Kugel in einer Welt voller 
Hindernisse auf

If that works, just point translators to this and have one of the devs 
update the file.
