RE: [Devel] Re: What's the translation status for Freetype?

[Martin Granell]

Sould there be a function to convert error codes to string messages?
If there isn't, then everyone that wants to pass error codes to e.g. log
files or to users will have to do their own translations.
Would it be possible to include a separate module within freetype that
does this conversion, and have that module updated with english in CVS,
but used in the translation project for other languages.

Yours,
Martin

I see.  I agree it isn't much point in using gettext on that kind of
messages.

With FT1 (eventually) on its way out, and FT2 not having the need, it
sounds to me like if it is time to withdraw freetype from the
Translation Project instead.  So that no more translation efforts are
spent on something which will not be used.  Would you agree?
