Takashi,

Thanks for your kind reply.

To recap:

I have installed the 3 patches in sequence in a plain Squeak3.8-6665.image.

After the first 2 patches i have a working editor, but very slow.
After applying yours the systems freeezes, does not respond, and
squeakdebug.log is not written.

I can only quit by Alt-F4. (Im on a windows 2000 prof system).


I have been thinking about the following too:

The comment from Hillaire about the context, makes very much sense to me:

So i was wildly thinking:

Would it be possible to do something like:
Activating some kind of 'translation mode' (say by pressing a button in the
language editor). While in this mode, i would be able to select any string i
see and be able to call the translate function on that... (I dont know how -
from the menu or by placing mouse over and press special key?) That would
give me a translate fillInTheBlank. Like now in the editor, but called from
the spot where the actual string is, ie visible in its own context.I have no
idea if this is possible or how, but it seemed like a nice option to me.
That way i could just translate what comes to me first. Because as is
obvious translating all from the editor or .po is not done easilly /
quickly.

I appreciate all comments/suggestions etc

Thanks again!

    - Jeroen
