Info on the status of the language translators (February 17, 2003)

Info on the status of the language translators (February 17, 2003).
The previous report was from September 16, 2002.

Summary: Related to the doxygen 1.3-rc3-20030215 in CVS. Full
translator_report.txt included in the attached zip file. Posted to
doxygen-users and to doxygen-develop. The Hungarian and Norwegian
maintainers are asked to try harder. Should the Finnish and Swedish
languages be removed completely?

Hi,

Firstly, thanks to all active language maintainers. Now...

==========
ATTENTION! 
==========

If you are the language maintainer, this is a good time to
update your translator now because the 1.3 release looks to
happen soon. Please, think about users who do not use sources
from CVS, but only the precompiled binaries. The 1.3 will be 
a bigger leap.  I guess that more people would like to try it.

Thanks

Other news
==========

The total is 28 languages. Ten of the languages are up-to-date. Fourteen
of them is only slightly behind -- max. 8 simple methods should be 
implemented to become up-to-date.  Two languages require more work:
Hungarian and Norwegian.  So I ask the maintainers to try a bit harder.
The doxygen infrastructure (i.e. the translator adapter classes) could
then
be simplified.  Look at the translator_report.txt in the attached zip
file.

  -----------------------------------------------
  We still did not found new Finnish and Swedish
  maintainers.  Their translators became extremely 
  obsolete, and it seems that the original maintainers 
  are not in touch with doxygen any more (read it
  "unreachable").
  
  The mentioned translators do not support so many
  methods, that it is probably more correct to use
  the English translator instead.  So I suggest to remove
  the the Finnish and Swedish languages support completely.

With regards,
  Petr
