Ok, I think I have done most of kdelibs and kdebase. If you find any=20
mid-sentence line-breaks there let me know.

I used the attached script. When you go to your cvs directory you can typ=
e:
=09findmsgs kdelibs
and it will create a file /tmp/kdelibs.msgs and /tmp/kdelibs.files.

I open all files in kdelibs.files one by one in my editor and have=20
kdelibs.msgs open to see on which line I have to be.

Make sure to update all files first:
=09cd kdelibs; cvs update `cut -d '/' -f 2- /tmp/kdelibs.files`

Also make sure to update once again when you're done, otherwise you
commit empty changes. Then you can commit with:
=09cd kdelibs; cvs commit `cut -d '/' -f 2- /tmp/kdelibs.files`

Please note that only texts that go into a messagebox should be changed. =
You=20
tend to get a few wrong hits on WhatsThis stuff and some toher various st=
uff.=20

If two sentences are part of the same paragraph there should be two space=
s=20
behind the '.' At the end of a paragraph may be one (and only one) linebr=
eak.=20
(Multiple linebreaks are ignored anyway). There should be no linebreak at=
 the=20
end of the text. (linebreaks at the end are ignored anyway) If the text=20
contains richtext tags there should be no linebreaks at all. (again, they=
 are=20
ignored anyway)

If 2 or 3 people can help with this, we can have done all of CVS by tomor=
row.

Cheers,
Waldo
