Well, not without code, no. ;) Though, there are not many easy optimizations, since xml2po is doing a lot of complicated stuff while trying to produce output that's easy on the translators, not on the CPU. What we can (and probably will) do is to add a separate (and quick) xml2po-lint tool to check for most common problems in translations, so you'd get faster response on what translations have problems so you can avoid including them. > What should the process be for translations that cause validation errors > in the future? Remove them (from DOC_LINGUAS, thus from dist as well). Also, file a bug against "l10n" product with appropriate language component, so translators know where the problem is. OTOH, I plan to add more debug info to our docs status pages (actually, I have already written entire new status pages with these features from scratch, and just need to set them up and test them ;), so this should become less of a problem (translators would be more aware of any problems in their translations).
