I'll think of how to change this. Probably it will be changed to moderated or the mail for msgid bugs will be changed to another ML (the one I currently redirecting you to). > Subject: > please attempt to minimize string changes > From: > Benno Schulenberg > Date: > Sat, 21 Dec 2013 23:12:38 +0100 > To: > bug-grub@gnu.org >=20 >=20 > Hello developers, >=20 > While updating the Dutch translations of grub's messages, I notice that= > some strings have changed in unnecessary ways.

I don't know if there is a way to put old strings there.

When proofreading Ukrainian and French translations we've found a number of unclear msgids. I'll make beta2 tomorrow to reflect those changes. --Km0AqGLIvvIOIDwRUWrstGdboCGTqGiA1 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.15 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Icedove - http://www.enigmail.net/ iF4EAREKAAYFAlK2KoIACgkQmBXlbbo5nOsAXQEAopbH4/dkBguEjJ86sYz0yA6p ZYmSeo8s+joBsmX4V/wBAK64RfSAaLOOFb83bAqxmmNtDyZLpV4fRG8ASSwvrElA =F5kI -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Km0AqGLIvvIOIDwRUWrstGdboCGTqGiA1--
