Re: [Linphone-developers] Upcoming linphone-android 4.5.0 release

[Sylvain Berfini]

Hi Óvári,

First of all thanks a lot for the Hungarian translation and your 
comments on English strings.

Yes some strings exists but are blank, most of them are settings summary.
Even if we don't judge them necessary for the user to understand, some 
of our clients or people making changes might feel differently.
Existing empty strings will help us change that quickly.

So I won't add english source as I don't want them, but I won't remove 
them either as they might be necessary on a fork.
If you encounter an empty string, just leave it empty and go to the next 
item.
I know this isn't ideal but this seems to be the best compromise.

Cheers,

Sylvain Berfini
Software Engineer @ Belledonne Communications
