I just double checked the 2.9 POT file. There hasn't been a change in string or word count from the most recent update (Revision 30059) in July even though the current revision is 30318, although I'll dig in more closely to see if there were string changes not reflected in counts. I would comment that the change to Revision 30059 (the currently posted abiword.2.9.dev.po file hosted on Pootle) did introduce a number of new strings and that not every language has caught up to 100% completion. http://translate.sugarlabs.org/projects/upstream_POT/ If there are plans for a quick release of 2.9, I would advise declaring a "string freeze" ASAP to allow the localizers to catch up. I would also encourage everyone interested in AbiWord that has any second language skills to examine their PO files on Pootle and make corrections there so that the 2.9 release L10n could be based on those collaboratively edited PO files. I know for a fact that I made some printf corrections on a number of languages (print errors are unfortunately common and very important to correct) that have not been submitted. I also know that there are a good number of fuzzy entries in languages that need correction from the version-to-version automangling that can happen in string migration. I would be happy to call on the Sugar Translation teams to make a special effort on the abiword strings. Sugar Labs core projects (Glucose / Fructose) are currently in a string freeze and trying to complete our PO files for an upcoming release of Sugar 0.94 in the end of September, so I'm not sure of the timing is good (localizers logging in to Pootle anyway) or bad (localizers prioritizing the long announced Sugar string freeze) or an AbiWord L10n effort from our existing teams. Just another point to weigh in the release decision-making process.
