Rafaella:
I just need a clarification here. The fixes that we can provide until
september 2nd. need to be notified by entering issues, or can we just
correct the errors on the Pootle server and after the deadline you
will capture a new snapshot for the final translation?
I'm wondering the same.
In case of Catalan, we rushed to get to the 100% translated in ordre to
meet the deadline.
I have a looong list of changes to do, including correcting
mistranslations, spell&grammar mistakes, ensuring translation
consistency throughout the product, etc.
To make things worse: in the previous 3.2.1 release I was correcting
hundreds of the aforementioned mistakes. When the strings were updated
in Pootle for 3.3, I found to my dispair that LOTS of my corrections
were rolled back. My take is that the obsolete strings in .po (marked
with #~) were to blame. In my global QA for 3.2.1, obviously I didn't
take into account the obsolete strings. Apparently, when updating the
strings, Pootle (well, I guess it was Translate Toolkit) preferred to
take the obsolete strings as translation instead of the actual newer
reviewed string. It probably has to do with the update process not
"reusing" the strings (even with the same string ID) when they have been
moved to another file (which I seem to remember it was reported here not
long ago).
Anyway, for whatever reason it happened and it adds to the things in my
list to correct for 3.3.
Getting back to the topic: If you tell us that the Pootle files will be
all "picked up" again for the upcoming 3.3 release, I'd take the time to
try to fix as many errors as possible within the deadline. In this case,
please specify if this deadline is the latest opportunity we have to
change files in pootle or there will be other builds in the future.
If you tell us that only major fixes (though issues) will be addressed,
I'll leave it for the next release.
Finally, I do not really understand how the deadline is scheduled for
the middle of the Oooconf next week! Those of us attending will be
missing 4 days! Couldn't it be moved to after oooconf?
salut
