Hi Dwayne, Thanks for your response.
I am using java property files directly from the source code of the application. My desired workflow would be to update the source code, allow the translators do their work, and merge their changes. However, due to the nature of the application development, there is no string freeze before a release, but rather a continuous integration approach, so the strings may change quite a bit. Typically, the translators will do their work once a certain number of new strings have been implemented by the developers, but there is a continuous need to modify the strings, syncronize from Pootle, and then merge the changes back into the source code. So, there are really two problems. One is that new string appear. I can seem to be able to solve this problem with an update_from_templates command, which updates all of the new strings, but also updates the property files. This is undesirable, and can be solve by reverting the source code. I tried only updating the templates with update_stores but this does not seem to propagate the new strings to the other languages. Second (and I have written about this on the list before, so apologies for repeating) is that strings which have been deleted from the property files, are not deleted from the database. The effect of this is that they appear in Poolte in the translated language only (both as the original as well as the translation), which is undesirable. Hope this helps to clarify the problem a bit more. Maybe I just do not understand the exact workflow, or perhaps I am trying to do something which is not entirely supported?
