I must admit, I don't really understand this proposal; and I want to, because it raises important issues for activity signing. Sayamindu, can you explain the options as you see them: <br><br>-in very general terms, what is the ui ("control panel" is enough on this point)<br>
-what code is activated by this ui do the actual "installing" of language packs<br>-<b>where do those files go</b><br><br>Thanks,<br>Jameson<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Dec 2, 2008 at 8:14 PM, Korakurider <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:korakurider@gmail.com">korakurider@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

</div> Yes, current lang pack is being generated from translations on Pootle<br>
and can be used to replace older translations (that was from Pootle<br>
also) in the box.<br>
Essential use case for the facility seems different from that what<br>
you imagine (distributed translation work).<br>
<br>
I think that, even if some deployment want to do custom translation<br>
in distributed fassion,<br>
they will need to build and deploy the authoritive version of<br>
translation pack that they merge translations from their team and do<br>
extensive human review. So I believe lang pack will still work for<br>
them.<br>

</div> Lang pack just replaces entire contents of each MO, not merge<br>
contents from multiple MOs. Sayamindu 's proposal is about how to<br>
replace MO. So uninstalling seems OK.<br>
<br>
Sayamindu, could you confirm my understanding?<br>
