Re: Interested in joining

Thanks for your reply, i half thought my email didn't make it through the mailing list or something.

I have checked out gnome, installed gTranslator, found myself a file that was not assigned, but gtranslator tells me there is a syntax error about quite a lot of gnome/desktop's PO files, although 
msgfmt -c --statistics filename.po doesn't. is that gTranslator's fault or is there something else i might have missed?

Thanks
Afief
