The answer is simple: we don't use Mantis roadmap in development activities because we find it inconvenient. See Martin's answer for the reasons. If you find that there is added/changed string in FIXES branch and you have update for this translation, you are welcome to send it ASAP. OTOH, if you only improve translation and there were no changed/added resource strings then it indeed makes no sense to send an update after every changed sentence, better will be to see an update every week or after a significant logically related amount of changes. Keep in mind that as I said before, Lazarus fixes branch translations don't change much at all and I don't consider this issue to be very significant. That being said, maybe it indeed won't harm to announce minor Lazarus updates for translators to let them catch up. -- Best regards, Maxim Ganetsky mailto:[email protected] -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
