=== Enhanced gettext ===
+
=== Update an activity translation independently of the Sugar release process ===
In general the translation process is tightly coupled with the release workflow. In order to get the latest translations for a particular activity, deployments need to either wait for the activity maintainer to make a new release, or use the language pack mechanism, which is distribution specific, and an ugly hack at its best. The [http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Features/Enhanced_Gettext Enhanced Gettext Feature] adds an extra search path for translation files for Sugar activities. This allows deployments to add and update activity translations independently of the release process. The alternate search path can be configured using [http://projects.gnome.org/gconf/ GConf configuration system]. With this Feature life should become a lot easier for deployments who rely on a small translator team to accomplish the job which often find it more difficult to keep up with the Sugar release cycle. Furthermore, we hope to take the burden from activity maintainers to make new releases to incorporate newer translations with this enhancement.
