Hi Bruce,
> Yet again we at upstream were not consulted at all. Thanks for putting yet another nail in the coffin of upstream collaboration.
I believe the best way to achieve collaboration is communication. As a representative of upstream, you've been participating in this discussion all along, so I'd say we've all done a good job.
Phil (who incidentally is also upstream, albeit for gnome docs) has taken the lead in processing the feedback and proposing a way forward for an issue that has been in the stage of discussion and blocking the work of several teams for the past year.
You were saying that if anything was decided you could probably get this fixed for GNOME 2.32. That's precisely what's happened, a final proposal has been put forward, no translations have yet been changed in Ubuntu as far as I know.
If we all agree in the terminology though, and a) the change cannot be adopted upstream for GNOME 2.32 due to lack of time; b) there are people in Ubuntu willing to work on this, I'd can see no trouble in adopting a pragmatic approach and do the change in Ubuntu first. The same Ubuntu translators might then want to help forwarding these changes upstream. I'm not a member of the UK team, I'd like to see this sorted as much as anyone else, and being both an Ubuntu and GNOME translator, I'd be glad to offer my help in exporting the changes from Ubuntu and commiting them in git.

Yes, I'd suggest discussing this as a separate topic, and I think the Ubuntu Translators maililng list (https:/
