I'm sorry, but I'm not convinced, for the same reasons I gave in my
previous email. Let me expand on this.

I'm pretty sure the "If everything matches up, you should chose <b>I
have</b> in the menu below." string won't be translated when running
in pt_BR with the current Debian unstable pidgin-otr package + the
proposed PO file, since the proposed translation applies to an English
string that has changed since then in upstream Git (in commit 225c864
that I referenced previously). See what I mean?

Perhaps the translation you want to see included in Debian unstable is
the one at commit 453fb8f instead, I don't know.

This kind of careful checking needs to be done before we can integrate
updated translations into the Debian package. I realize it is tedious
work, and it's tedious too for the package maintainer who has to
verify a little bit that the proposed translation update actually
matches the strings present in the source code.

Ideally, upstream would release a new minor version with the fixed
English string, and various translation updates as applicable:  IMHO
it's none of the distros responsibility to go hunt down PO files in
upstream Git history, especially when strings change in the meantime.

Cheers,
