Like bug fixes. The merges now get cleared between builds, so you don't end up with unknown language gibberish in your builds. Oops ;-) Thanks to Guillermo for poking. And Ville apparently found the same bug. Thanks, and yes, more to come. Like bug fixes.

This is a big step in the right direction and I know it's something that you've been working on for a long time. I think the part I read from your post that most excites me is "and last, but not at all least, a working build, even for partial translations." Seems like this will be one of the things most valuable to localizers trying to get a more real-time and visual status of their work, no? More to come, I am sure, but great work so far!

At least the Finnish version was pretty busted as I now got to the test it: http://www.flickr.com/photos/vpk/2965000404/ Uh and hah, no need for any branding/visual feedback items needed yet….

And you know that I can’t either ;-), does the translate toolkit work with 3.1 by now? On the second item, yes, I am optimistic that this will change the way that folks work on l10n, in particular folks starting from scratch. That said, I don’t see us changing the criteria we have for shipping a locale. That remains to be a full source localization. Hey Dwayne, I know.

We can finally now move to a concept of priority translations because the build system itself can cope with untranslated text. I hope that that leads to more rapid integration of new languages.

Regarding the branding or other visual feedback, I have that in the back of my head, but it's not on the top of the list of action items. Thanks.

A big thank you to all involved! I don't see a mention of any notification / visual alarm that the said l10n files have been amended with en-us strings which was briefly discussed during Armens and John presentations QA sessions. Is it there somewhere or any plans to add something like that? Fantastic! A big thank you to all involved!
