    From Thomas Lange@21:1/5 to All on Tue Jan 2 17:40:01 2024
    Hi all,

    on the po pages like https://www.debian.org/international/l10n/po/af
    we have a long listing of the languages at the top with their
    abbreviation (like aa de fr) but we also have a link to the language
    list at the top, which is the same list but with the names of the
    languages. IMO it sufficient to keep the link to the "Language list"
    and we can remove the long liststing of the languages on the po pages.

    The same applies to a listing on the bottom of the page called "Packages already i18n-ed"
    This long listing is not needed because we have a link at the top to
    "POT files" which includes the same information in a different format.

    Do I miss any useful usage of those long lists?
    If we remove those listings, the po pages will provide the same
    information but in a cleaner appearance.

    BTW, I think the same applies for po4a and po-debconf.

    Yes, exactly the same came to my mind yesterday.

    The "Packages already i18n-ed" list irritates me:
    there are many packages in that listing, but the package name is
    not a link to the pot file, as it is the case for the others.
    And those packages are missing in the "POT files" page.
    So I don't know which list is the better one or how they work or
    belong together...

    Correct.

    No objections so far, so let's go for it?
