word forms for terms.Bugzilla needed

[Necmettin Begiter]

Hello all, I'm new to this list (but not Bugzilla translation). I am a
developer working for the Pardus GNU/Linux project and I've just recently
started translation Bugzilla 3.2 into Turkish as we will switch to 3.2 as
soon as I'm done.

First, some background information to the issue:
Turkish language has two very interesting features that makes it a IMHO very
un-mechanical language: Its written and spoken form is the same and the
letters (=sounds) used in suffixes in word formation differs according to
the letters (=sounds) preceding the letters to be added. Let me explain
them in the simplest form I can:

It's written and spoken form is the same:
Ali is read as /ali/ (=Alpha Lima India)
Book is read as /book/ (consider the /o/s in door)

On to the second issue, different letters (=sounds) in the suffix for words
with different endings:
Bugzilla'nın (=Bugzilla's)
Ali'nin (=Ali's)
Notice the "nın"-"nin" difference here.
Bugzilla'da (=in Bugzilla)
Eskişehir'de (=in Eskişehir)
Also notice the "da"-"de" difference here.

The conclusion:
I need to add variables like terms.BugzillaNom, BugzillaAcc, BugzillaDat,
BugzillaLoc, BugzillaAbl, BugzillaGen to the appropriate file (which, I'm
guessing, is global/variables.none.tmpl or some other file in global/) to
make them available to the Bugzilla installation that will be employed. As
Turkish has these two issues I've mentioned above, I can not translate
these noun forms seperately nor can I correctly use in my translations
suffixes like 'nin, 'nın, 'da, 'de .. without knowing the value of
terms.Bugzilla. So in its current form, it is not possible to have an
optimum Turkish translation of Bugzilla.

On to the questions:
Is it possible that the mentioned variables be added to Bugzilla code (3.2
if possible)?
If so, if these variables are put into global/*whatever*, will/can they be
backported to 3.2 or 3.2.1, or will/can they be included in 3.4 and later?

Questions/ comments/ requests welcome. This is sort of a cross-posting (also
reported as a bug in Bugzilla's Bugzilla) but I needed clarification and
this list probably has a larger user-base.

Thanks in advance,
