Hi, I have had quite a few comments from folks about the string freeze being too strict.
It was noted that: * users will prefer an untranslated log, over a silent failure * translators don't want existing strings changing while they are translating them * translators tooling can cope OK with moved strings and new strings After yesterday's cross project meeting, and hanging out in #openstack-i18n I have come up with these updates to the String Freeze Guidelines: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/StringFreeze Basically, we have a Soft String Freeze from Feature Freeze until RC1: * Translators work through all existing strings during this time * So avoid changing existing translatable strings * Additional strings are generally OK Then post RC1, we have a Hard String Freeze: * No new strings, and no string changes * Exceptions need discussion Then at least 10 working days after RC1: * we need a new RC candidate to include any updated strings Is everyone happy with these changes?
