Unfortunately tools do not support our special needs out of the box,
but after Cloph did migration with that perl script, everything is OK,
isn't it?

I don't think we are in the last minute, there are several weeks until
the release, and the string freeze is in effect only after rc1. And we
all know, that developers add/remove/modify strings after freeze
occasionally. What we need, is more frequent updates and
announcements. I'm not aware of strings from QA tests, if you are,
please file a bug (CC me), and I'll take care of it. LibreLogo is an
old story I suppose... It was moved to sw in the early phase of 4.1
development.

I hope nobody will loose work, translations are backed up in database,
in git, on people's hard drive etc.

On the other hand I'm also looking forward to seeing the end of
revolution, e.g. UI conversion, help/wikihelp conversion, etc. After
that, maybe by LibreOffice 4.3, we'll be back to normal translation
work, i.e. we will translate only strings of new features.

Best regards,
Andras
