Re: [Bitcoin-development] Going to tag 0.9.2 final
Was joking, but isn't the translation process back-ended with runtime tests to ensure that any stray chars etc cause the application to fail?

I think it's more an issue of accidental breakage than any maliciousness. One character in the wrong place in a language bundle somewhere can make the difference between success and runtime failure, and it may not be immediately apparent when running in unaffected locales. This kind of problem isn't likely to result in data loss (or money loss, where money is data, is in Bitcoin), but it could be enough to necessitate scrapping the whole release, which would look bad and prompt users to question the dev team's quality control process. -- HPCC Systems Open Source Big Data Platform from LexisNexis Risk Solutions Find What Matters Most in Your Big Data with HPCC Systems Open Source.

There is some postprocessing done in the script that fetches translation files (see https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/contrib/devtools/update-translations.py ). It removes stray control characters, but for example there is no check for number and presence of formatting characters. I generally check that by manually looking through the diffs. But would be great if someone added that. Wladimir -- HPCC Systems Open Source Big Data Platform from LexisNexis Risk Solutions Find What Matters Most in Your Big Data with HPCC Systems Open Source.

You can cause severe havoc with ANY changes. Humans make mistakes! Please do not do such things! Agreed. Does Bitcoin Core not have a release cycle policy? Typically mission-critical projects will enter a code and resource freeze prior to tagging a release candidate, after which point only critical bugfixes are allowed into the release branch. A language translation update does not qualify as a critical bugfix and should be merged during the next release cycle. -- HPCC Systems Open Source Big Data Platform from LexisNexis Risk Solutions Find What Matters Most in Your Big Data with HPCC Systems Open Source.

Other projects have translation freeze points to address this. Although it is a small holistic risk, in theory, someone could maliciously change strings at the last minute in a language maintainers don't know well. I was just doing what was always done. In practice, the translations follow a very different cycle than the rest of the code. Entering translations as well as reviewing them happens inside Transifex. Sure, someone could maliciously change strings. It's typical that this little bikeshedding topic attracts so much attention. But if it makes all of you happy I won't do the translation update.
