Re: Scottish Gaelic (gd) localisation

Friedel,

Easy. The rules on Launchpad are wrong. I hadn't seen those as I tend 
not to use Launchpad but prefer to handle gd localisations at each 
project's source and localising and OS is not high on the list of 
priorities right now. But thanks for pointing those out, I'll see if I 
can get those amended.

Irish has a similar problem. Kevin Scannell once explained that in the 
early days of the web some enthusiastic person put out a bad plural 
ruleset for Irish and he's been chasing it around cyberspace ever since. 
I'm also trying to get the right rules onto Unicode but those guys make 
the Siachen Glacier look like a MiG.

Thanks for the headsup again!

Michael
