OT : Is Queen Bee on this list?
by aki 20 May '10

20 May '10

Unconfirmed info says that the Queen Bee is going to start some Dev project at Strathmore? So is it finally intending to setup its own Dev department? Very good for KE devs and those who are in this line of business. I hope the info is correct. I may soon present the Queen Bee with an invoice ( just kidding ) since I wrote such a posting here on this list some weeks ago. Sometimes I read postings on the net and its like Dejavu..... Can anyone from Strathmore confirm the new development? To all devs with passions for the Queen Bee , hope your dreams and aspirations can now come true. Asante.

il8n and l10n of an app to swahili
by Kiti Chigiri 19 May '10

19 May '10

Hi all, I am working on a multilingual app and one of the languages is Swahili. Everything is working fine except that some specific words are not being translated despite the msgstr value being set correctly When i run the command msgfmt -v -c /path/to/file/default.po -o /dev/null I get the following output default.po:2: invalid plural expression I have checked the header files and changed the settings for plural translations as suggested by the article at http://translate.sourceforge.net/wiki/l10n/pluralforms#s but still the darn string doesnt get translated as is supposed So my question is, what is/are the correct plural form(s) setting for the swahili language that you set in the headers of your .po files? Anyone with an idea on how to, or has experienced a similar problem? see the attached file for a sample of what i am working with regards Kiti Chigiri

Hi all, Am I the only one to notice this ? But for the first two days, my Google searches have been producing pure organic results - No flashy images on the side or top to accompany the results of search.. no sponsored sites - nothing !!! I checked with the computer of some colleagues and its the same.. What is going on ? I thought this was their core business ...
