numbering necessary for words to be translated
If no numbering at all, possible to miss one or more items when translation and difficult to find which.
"Type" as in "type a word" or as in "this sort of car" ?
German for "writing" would be "schreiben" or on the keyboard "Tippen" but the first would be better.
What is the Marquee function supposed to do? The german "Festzelt" is a "celebration tent", I don't think that is the function in mind. t.woelk
- In the context of drawing programs, "marquee" refers to the tool that allows you to select a region by enclosing it with a shape—typically a rectangle. The word is used because the selection is shown with a dotted outline that moves around the shape; this is reminiscent of theater marquees (the sign above the entrance to a theater that says what is playing), because they have lights that blink in a pattern that moves around the edges. "Rectangular selection" would be another name for the rectangular marquee.
- I'm not familiar with this program, so I can't say in what context "type" is being used, but note that it can also refer to the typeface being used—essentially the same as "font". —Joe 13:20, 3 September 2007 (EDT)
Localization integration
How will this be integrated with the POT & POs in Fedora, git and such? We are trying to coordinate stuff :)
