Unfortunately there are such files in the "ro" tree. I'll get my hands on them, just need some time. > The problem is we have no way to distinguish "important > updates" and "no-need-to-retranslate typo fix". > One revision to old could be just as outdated (if not more) > than 10revision to old. Well, I don't consider it a major problem. If a file is changed, the translator should check the differences (they are shown very nicely by the "ViewVC") and decide whether the translation needs changes or just "EN-Revision" must be updated. That's one of the translator's tasks. I understand that when a translator has thousands of files under his control, this task can become time consuming. On the other hand, as you said earlier, the files are not changed so often. And if the translator performs this task daily, he/she will have to check 10-15 files, or so. This is not very cumbersome, in my opinion. It would be interesting to know how much time does Takagi spend checking the updated "en" files. Regards, Simion.
