it's free software- finding bugs and fixing them takes timeit's free software- finding bugs and fixing them takes timePosted Aug 29, 2002 19:12 UTC (Thu) by louie (subscriber, #3285)In reply to: It's worse than that... by sab39 Parent article: GNOME Summary Gtk does have 'mirroring' ability, but... it's sort of a chicken and egg problem. The mirroring stuff (and other details that can't be taken care of at the toolkit level, but which must be done within the app) is not really tested much at all. Why is it not tested? well, there are virtually no translations, so it's hard for the people who would test it to use it. Of course, why are there few translations? Because there are many problems with mirroring and such. So... it's going to take some brave souls to test and find all of the bugs. Once that starts happening I expect we'll see fixes as well. [The Arabic team has already fixed several such bugs already, I believe, at least some of which will help all R-to-L languages.]
