Comment(by arma):
Interesting idea.
I wonder if there's any downside here -- for example:
1) if we get reports of wrong translations, we know what version of
Vidalia was included, but now we don't know what version of Vidalia had
this string.
2) The components in TBB have the original versions of each application,
or at least try to. Rebuilding it each time means that the signature by
the Vidalia maintainer is not so meaningful.
3) When we pull in the translations, that's typically a manual step right
now, and people have a chance of looking through them to see if the
Turkish translation just says "Tor is a chicken" over and over. The more
we automate the process, the more likely somebody sticks in easter eggs.
I guess point 2 argues for making the translated strings be an external
resource that Vidalia can pull in at run-time. My guess is that would be
messy to get right.
Another option is to put out Vidalia releases more often. Now that we have
a more active maintainer we've got at least a shot at that.
I assume you'd also want the Torbutton strings to be updated each time?
