  Hi, I've followed the instructions in git-gui/po/README in 2008 but 
pt.po was never included in master. Now I've just updated it.

Is there anything else I should do for it being merged to master? What is the criteria for including new translations?

Thanks in advance,
Rodrigo.

Rodrigo, Internationalization of Git is very much an ongoing process. I suspect that has something to do with the uptake of your contribution. Ævar may have more information.

All the git-gui changes come through Pat Thoyts these days; Ævar has nothing to with git-gui i18n/l10n (except perhaps as a translator to his own language, but I don't see his name in the shortlog).

Perhaps the submission was sent with wrong Cc:; I don't pay attention to git-gui and gitk l10n patches myself.

Sorry, I think I'm missing something. From the mentioned README, it seems we're supposed to push our changes to the mob branch of mob@repo.or.cz:/srv/git/git-gui/git-gui-i18n.git/, which has write access enabled for everyone.

That's what I've done. I couldn't find any mention in the README about having to send some mail after that.

I'll wait for instructions from Pat Thoyts to understand better what should be my next step...

Thanks,
Rodrigo.

It's best to just send a patch to me and this list based against one of the current branches (master/maint/pu). The i18n fork was done for the original work adding i18n to git-gui and hasn't been kept up to date since 2008.

Ok, thanks. I've just noticed pt_br.po was already included some days ago on March 26 by Junio Hamano and it is up-to-date in the master branch.

But it would be great to update the README to replace those instructions regarding mob@repo.or.cz by the new instruction for sending the patches by e-mail.

Best regards,
Rodrigo.

Thank you - I had not noticed the directions in the po/README file. I've now committed an update that encourages translators to mail a patch series. Sorry for any confusion caused by this.
