I agree with you, tian.

I think that is the most important part to do a better translation. If we translators can know what the package or po file which the messages seen belong to is more easily, we can improve the translations more quickly and better.

Not knowing which po file the messages occur is such a problem.

Hi everyone,

There are a lot of po files in transifex, and the number is growing. It's hard to know where the strings of a po file will appear in the distribution. For instance, I found some Simplified Chinese translation errors in Fedora 13 DVD installation -- timezone setting screen and root password setting screen. But I don't know which po file(s) they belong to.

So is it possible to add some detailed description for each component, what are they, where they will appear in the distribution and so on, so that translators can find the strings they need to translate/fix more quickly.

Thank you guys :)

Sounds like a good idea.

As a first step, how about creating a wiki page to collect this information and filling in as much information as possible? We can fill it as a group and then update the info on Tx itself if necessary.
