From 720893fd5fb6de1f752f816a89e630f08ae8b20a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tsugikazu Shibata Date: Fri, 23 Jan 2009 09:59:50 +0900 Subject: Sync patch for jp_JP/stable_kernel_rules.txt Updated jp_JP/stable_kernel_rules.txt due to changes in the main version of the file. Also, this patch is already reviewed by Japanese translation community called JF.
