Hi!

You should now get your translations ready for the release of 0.24.

We (Kenni and I) will be accepting updates for your respective 
translation during the RC phase but if you wish to make sure your 
translation are included in the 0.24 release you should submit them as 
soon as possible.

The theme string extraction program was ran an hour ago by Kenni to 
extract the strings that come from the themes.

Please don't forget to run lupdate before translating as instructed on 
the translation page (http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Translation) to get the 
latest strings.

Special care should be taken with strings containing words in CAPITAL 
LETTERS enclosed in "%". Some of these actually contain text that can be 
translated but only do so if you are confortable doing it and can 
actually test the end result. These are actually templates used for 
displaying information and if the code is not recognized it could very 
well make some screens at least partially unusuable. You can either fill 
them in with the same information (Ctrl-B in Qt Linguist) or leave them 
empty.

You might also want to consider submitting locale files 
(http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Locale_Configurations) for your respective 
locales as well. We will make sure these get forwarded to the 
appropriate developer.

Thank you very much for all your hard work!
