>From my point of view, first and last option (in that order) are the right ones.

Asunto: [WG: I18N & L10N] Best way to handle seemingly unused i18n key/value pairs

Hi,

This email begins with an example and ends with a general question.


I've reviewed the content of trunk's
access/access-impl/impl/src/bundle/access.properties which has been unchanged for 5 years and 3 months.

Out of the 23 key/value pairs at r27977, it seems 13 are currently unused:
java.acccess
java.theresource
java.youdonot
java.miss
java.busy
java.message
java.from
java.date
java.subject
java.attach
error.thereq
error.isnot
error.access

This file revision log is short but, while I'm almost sure Glenn Golden doesn't have time for this anymore, I wonder if it would be a good idea to ask Gonzalo Silverio or Lance Speelmon for help.

Please note I'm gonna be in the log soon because of a bug fix commit that will happen soon.


What do you think is the best general way to double-check unused i18n 
key/value pairs?

Do you think I should:
- Wait for the arrival of the CLE Community Coordinator and ask him how 
we should handle this
- Ask on sakai-dev for volunteers to check if I'm right
- Ask previous commit authors that have been active in the past year
- Ask another person/group
- Go ahead and comment-out all those seemingly unused pairs

You can choose several options with an order and some timing if you want.

Feel free to send a copy to sakai-dev if you think we need to ask a 
larger crowd.

Cheers,

J-F
