About the pt_PT translation and Gnome

[Duarte Loreto]

   Hello!

I decided a while ago to start translating Gnome (and become Portuguese 
maintainer for Gnome). I've been translating, although I still haven't been 
accepted as maintainer, because a (dead for over a year) team already 
exists. I'm waiting to become the accepted maintainer.

Some days ago I was at the #i18n speaking with Carlos (from the Gnome 
Translation Project) and he told me that I should move my GnuCash 
translation from pt_PT to just pt. All Gnome portuguese translations are in 
pt and only the brazilians are in pt_BR. There is no pt_PT.

They moved the GnuCash pot file I translated to pt on their status page.

I remember that when I started doing the translation for GnuCash, last 
March, Linas or dave told me to do it as pt_PT instead of just pt. Was there 
a special reason for this? Would it be possible to move my translations to 
just pt? Why do you think Carlos requested this? And why shouldn't we do it 
(so I can tell Carlos if we decide not to do it)?

I brought up this issue last night (portuguese night, should be +/- after 
lunch in US) in IRC. But everybody involved on the discussion also though it 
was best for me to raise the issue on the list.

Ok... Issue is raised. I think that we could move my translation to just pt, 
as Carlos told. It was my initial idea in March, anyway. :) What do the rest 
think? Is this much trouble in CVS?
