Thanks for your interest.

Your thesis was enlightening about all the new features and solutions
and current status. After reading your email and your thesis I still
have some critique but I'll follow your suggestion and find the time
to install Drupal 6.
My general feeling is that translations and taxonomies are too highly
coupled... I won't comment further without some more knowledge on my
part of the current status, but I think you got an idea about what I
mean from my previous email.
Reading your thesis I got more conscious about why translations looks
so coupled but well we both have a lot of stuff to digest and I'll
wait better moments to get into details.


I ask you just a bit of patience more for my rudeness but at this
time my module is agnostic of the drupal version and non Italian
content still have to be thought... but I need a smooth path to have
localised strings (dates, float, currency...). Any help on this?

I read in your thesis:
"Local functionality By implementing a custom install profile, I
distributed the Hungar- ian interface translation with local
functionality for Hungarian date format support and features for
common hosts, beginning with Drupal 5.1 [38]."

Just dates? what about float? is this stuff already ready and hidden
somewhere in the source of 5.2?


thanks a lot, great work.
