If you do it on svn side I just have to do it again, before uploading the vhanges to Tx.1) not everybody use transiflex.2) why force people to go through transifex in order to fix changes that should never have been done? only part of those changes should have resulted in changed strings. we've always run perl -pi -e in order not to disturb translators with not real changes.
Transiflex is the workflow tool for the translation process that was decided on within the translation team. As this tool is quite new to most of us, we're still trying to find our way around in it and mistakes can happen due to our combined inexperience with the tool. Keeping things properly in sync in both svn and transifex is also a process that we'll end up mastering through working more with it.
In my experience Oliver has been trying very much so to make any needed changes without as little fuss as possible for all the language teams. While we all can still learn from gentle corrections and pointers, I think they should be delivered in exactly that way: gentle. I find your messages cutting into Oliver's work anything but. Finally, if you want to argue over things already decided within the i18n team, please feel free to join it.
My two cents worth, Remco
