[MonoDevelop] Re: translation strings patches

[Lluis Sanchez]

Hi,

The most basic rules for submiting patches are:
* Submit one single patch file per assembly directory (that is, one
single patch for every subdirectory below Core/src or Extras).
* The patch must include a new entry in the corresponding ChangeLog file
(notice that there is only one ChangeLog file per assembly).

And please, if you are going to send several patches wait until you have
all of them and do it at once.

It's simple, but somebody has to do it, and that somebody is the patch
writer :)

Which Options attribute?

We can't use Gettext.GetString in an attribute.

I don't know where this info comes from.
