We are GRASS Japanese translation team.
In March 2010, out team translate GRASS Po-files into Japanese almost
100%.
Now, with latest version, many 'menu strings' are back to English. That
means relationship via Po-files are lost. Possible reason is a change in
original English string.
Not only for Japanese, but also other localization using pofiles should me
effected by this recent change.

Comment:
What means 'many'? Yes, possibly some messages has been modified. Those
message should be marked as 'fuzzy'. You need to correct them, it's not
defect. Closing ticket as invalid.
... this sort of frustration is why many projects have a "strings freeze"
once the RC cycle begins.
For GRASS 6.4.1, .2, .3, .4 etc it should be quite stable though so as
long as the stable branches are the focus of translation efforts everyone
should be happy.

... this one took so long because we wanted MS Windows to be an equal
platform. We are finally near to that, but it took much longer than if we
just going to release for UNIX, which was ready long ago. But if we hadn't
done that the Windows release would still be a year away.
So you might say that that the problem is that we needed 4-5 low-level
Windows devs a year+ ago, but that's a chicken and egg type bootstrapping
problem to attract them before it's working solidly, all the while forcing
them to exist in a unix enviro.
With apologize I open it again - indeed the menustrings.py messages where
deleted in an incorrect template update (performed in an uncompiled GRASS
source code tree). All grasswxpy_*.po files have been restored in SVN
(except for DE, IT, PL which will follow shortly).
The closing of the ticket as invalid was due to a misunderstanding of the
problem.
And it is unrelated to the length of the RC cycle but a technical problem.
All wxGUI menu strings should be back now in SVN, sorry for the temporary
mess. The winGRASS snapshots in 1 day from now should contain again the
translations. Closing ticket.
