gtranslator release 1.0

In these cold days in good old Europe,

we’ve got a fine piece of software for you translators of
gettext files: gtranslator, surely one of the most enhanced and
best gettext po files editors for GNOME/X is out in the new release
1.0 named “Heat it!”.

With this release 1.0 gtranslator is now fully adopted to the
GNOME 2.x environment and the port to GNOME 2.x has been finished,
almost all important or major bugs are solved now and the
application has reached a good point and should be used by any
translator at least to test it, it has got the messages table for
easy message navigation, plural forms handling, UTF-8
problem-less(TM) handling and also handling for all the other nice
charsets and is free of the normally awaited crash cases, so you
can surely use it for your everyday translation including learn
buffer feature (automatic translations) and much much more. The
more exact NEWS file can be viewed below
http://cvs.gnome.org/lxr/source/gtranslator/NEWS
– updating from previous releases is _majorly_ recommended and
almost commanded 😉

There are already Debian unstable and the official tarball
available via http://www.gtranslator.org (your
base for gtranslator information, downloads or linkage; direct
download link for tarball:
http://www.gtranslator.org/download/releases/1.0/gtranslator-1.0.tar.gz
{1.26 MB}) or our mirroring download site on sourceforge.net via
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=666
– Debian users should also look at the Debian way of installing
gtranslator on http://www.gtranslator.org/ ->
Debian packages. By the hours, the RPM package will surely also
join the download queue.

Have fun while using it and don’t hesitate to use http://bugzilla.gnome.org for
reproting bugs, problems, inconsistent points of the application.
’til the next release, fine night/day depending on your time zone
🙂
