Re: ta_LK language pack for Squirrel mail

Sarves,

Yes, we got it.  It is always best to send translations in an archived
format (like you did the 2nd time) so that it is protected from damage
during transport.

The headers still don't quite match the Swedish example.  Here it is
for your reference:

"Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit\n"
"Plural-Forms: nplurals=2; plural=n != 1;\n"

The Plural-Forms should be adjusted for Tamil of course.

Also, the POT-Creation-Date is troubling to me - what file did you
translate?  This is the best one I think:

http://squirrelmail.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/squirrelmail/trunk/locales/po/squirrelmail.pot?view=markup

I didn't look too close, but it was immediately apparent that you have
two different translations for the string "Illegal folder name. Please
select a different name.".  Why is this?  Did you make sure all other
strings only appear once?

Which of the authors would you like to be considered official
maintainers of the translation?

Again, thanks very much for the contribution.
