Description of problem: My idea is the following. I like mgaonline telling me that there are updates to install, but when the window that presents the updates to be installed appears it never tells you clearly if a translation has been done other than perhaps via the changelog and to be honest, how many regular users check the changelog for translation updates? My idea is to have a new icon as a part of mgaonline that animates (by shaking/wiggling to get the users attention?) in the panel with a message saying "A new translation has arrived for PUT PACKAGE NAME HERE!" as a unique thing for a Linux dist. I haven't seen such a solution so far. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 3.31
Summary: Make a seperate part of mgaonline that animates when a new translation of a certain program or part of system is being done => Make a seperate icon of mgaonline that animates when a new translation of a certain program or part of system is being done
- what is the exact use case? - what is the benefit at all? - what is the benefit of a second icon without any function except taking space in the taskbar and "wiggling"? - which translations are meant: packages with seperate language pack or inbuilt languages? - translations without an update of the main package are normaly not possible because they depend on the same source package: So what is the benefit of having an icon telling you to update the main package and having another one to tell you: oooh there was an update..? - how should this get technically implemented? What should trigger the "wiggling" icon to detect a translation? Should the package maintainer read and digest the release notes for you because you don't want to? As you already found yourself: There is no single distribution which has implemented such function (as there is no benefit or use case). This request seems rather INVALID.
