Comment 2 for bug 64214

Hi,

I could be mistaken, I filled the report in response to an email I recieved based on an inquiry,

here is my initial inquiry

https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-translators/2006-September/000828.html

and here is the response that prompted the bug report (oddly the archive doesn't have it even though it was CCed to the list... changed @ to AT for spam prevention...)

I've also attached a sample .po files that I am unable to merge so that the difference can be seen between what is in Ubuntu and what is in Blender CVS.

http://blender.blogchina.com/inc/blender.zh_cn.rar

If it is not a bug, could you direct me to someone who might be able to help me? I am the maintainer of Blenders translations in CVS and the idea of duplicated efforts regarding translations is undesirable :)

which is a bug.

This actually matters. Think of people who, for instance, have Catalan
as their first language, typically also speak Spanish/Castillian, and
don't know English too well.

They want to see the Spanish texts if there's no Catalan version
available, not the English stuff.
