W7K+ g3s l10n s5t
Or ‘WebKitGTK+ gains localization support’! Continuing our quest to finish off old bugs, and plug the bigger and more visible missing holes in functionality, a lot of work went into making WebKitGTK+ l10n-capable. This work has been committed today. This means we will now be able to translate things like dialogs, context menus, form elements, and any other string that makes sense to translate and is generated by WebKitGTK+.
Don’t be fooled by the fact that the context menu is talking about spell checking, by the way. This is still something we do not support, and is only there because Epiphany doesn’t override WebKitGTK+’s default context menus. I know that diegoe is working on it, though.

Boa, Cabelo!

Awesome!
Just a silly question: how do you plan to send template and updates to translators and receive new and updated translation?
PS are you sure webkit.pot file should stay on VCS? other projects autogenerate it on autogen/configure phase..

@Luca: I have sent email to gnome-i18n asking for inclusion on the non-GNOME modules listing, but we don’t have anything formalized yet. About the potfile, I always keep my .pot files on VCS, but I am open to suggestions/patches if there’s a good reason not to. Thanks for the comments!

See here: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-i18n/2009-April/msg00069.html
In short: usually POT files are autogenerated, no need to be tracked on VCS
