[opensuse-translation] A problem with the translated release notes.
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi! The version number on the release notes is automatically inserted. The problem is that if the translation is in fact older, the version number is current, but the actual text is old: they do not match. Of course, the parts that do not match show in English. I would propose that the number, or the date, be written by the translator on the text, so that the numbers correspond to what is really translated. Or the insertion logic be corrected so that the proper, old, number shows. The way it is, the user is misled by reading obsolete notes and thinking they are current. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

Yes, but because the entire contents is actually available (even if untranslated), I think it is ok that we globally adjust date and version number. I'm not sure whether we still warn in the localized release notes that translations might be incomplete.

But they are current (as you said above), and these "mixed" translations are by no means obsolete. And, maybe most important, the reader does not know what such dates or version numbers mean. -- Karl Eichwalder SUSE LINUX Products GmbH R&D / Documentation Maxfeldstraße 5 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendörffer, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-translation+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-translation+owner@opensuse.org

Mmmm... perhaps...

The date of publication or last update, they would assume. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
