No. In that case the string is marked "fuzzy" that means that it is almost good. An changing one single word could reverse the meaning of an entire page so the site page could still be present the fuzzy page but with a warning that the contents could be obsolete. > I strongly agreed.

Are _not_ destroyed. Are marked as fuzzy and fixing those paragraphs is really easy. And when some translation infrastructure will be in place it will be even easier. Anyway consider the alternatives: some author change something in the original document and every translator have to scan the entire document for changes as it was when documents were in ODT format...better? I agree that some sort of "snapshot" of the reference docs should be fixed to let translator work on a static source (and we are managing to do this with tags) in a similar way to the "string freeze" that happens when a stable release comes out, but please do not re-discuss this matter after so many months of work on it. -- Marco Ciampa I know a joke about UDP, but you might not get it. +------------------------+ | GNU/Linux User #78271 | | FSFE fellow #364 | +------------------------+ _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
