Hi,

here are the German Release Notes.

ciao

> Hi everyone,
>
> The release notes for Camino 1.6.5 are now ready for translation (attachment
> https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=346982 on bug
> https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=463074 ).
>
> The Firefox/Gecko release is scheduled for Tuesday; we're obviously running
> a little behind this time around, but we'd like to try to ship on Thursday,
> so please try to have your translations to Marcello as soon as you can.
>
> (Also, I mentioned this to Marcello the other day, but I wanted to note it
> for everyone, too: because of the requirements of software update, we can't
> simply replace the existing .dmg with a new one that includes a late release
> notes file any more, so once we ship, you'll have to wait until the next
> cycle for any updates.)
>
> Marcello, we'll try to get a 1.6.5 candidate build ready late this weekend
> or on Monday, depending on our availability.
>
> I also have some news (finally!) on the localization of strings that we get
> from Gecko in Camino 2.0.  This weekend I hope to submit a patch that
> includes all of the Gecko .properties files as .strings files for
> translation (bug https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=394105).  This
> is a pretty significant chunk of new strings, so you'll probably want to get
> started on them as soon as possible.  (You might be able to leverage
> existing translations done by the Firefox/Thunderbird translators in some
> cases, but not all of the files are shared/have identical strings, so you'll
> want to verify the translations in any case, and of course get them in Cocoa
> formats).
>
> Unfortunately, we still haven't been able to come up with a solution that
> works properly for the Gecko .dtd files (which are used in [x]html files
> like the error pages and about:plugins).  Those files aren't covered by the
> override mechanism that Gecko provides for .properties, so all of those
> strings still appear in English.  I'm not sure that we'll be able to find a
> solution in time for Camino 2.0 (bug
> https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=457290).
>
> We are aiming to get most, if not all, of the string and nib changes for 2.0
> in before the next release (beta 1), but we may do a beta 2 or choose an
> arbitrary date post-b1 for a string freeze, like we did for 1.6.  I'll try
> to provide updates on 2.0 developments as they happen, schedule permitting.
>
> Thanks again for all your work!
