Thank you again Paul for your response. That’s good to know. You mentions several “checks” you did on the translation file. Those checks uncovered a few errors as you mentioned.
I’d be very interested in knowing more about that workflow and checks you do For example 1-what compiler did you use? 2-Is there any program I can download and run on my po files to find some errors prior to submitting? 3- when you mentioned “stricter checker” which program was that? I’m interested and glad to “jump through said hoops” with the files I’m working with. After all, not only audacity , but I’m working on several other projects as well and plan on being a contributor for life to this and as many open source projects as possible. (I’m sorta retired in my 30s and so spend a lot of my time working on interesting projects like this) Any suggestions or links or any extra steps you can help me with would be greatly appreciated. I will implement those with this project and any on the future. After all, ideally this would save you some hassle on your end. I hope you’re having a great week Paul!
