Hi everyone :)

This evening I'm indulging myself by translating some OOo files on  
the Wordforge Pootle server.

I really do notice the difference after using the older Pootle used  
by the CC project: with the new version, the terminology is really  
helpful, the double-click edit saves time, and the automatic  
recognition of interface language from your browser really makes you  
feel at home.

No negative comment on CreativeCommons: I enjoyed using their Pootle,  
and I hope they will get as much out of the newer version as I do. :)

I was impressed by the combination of the terminology file (which  
present suggestions based on the original string) and the search-in- 
file feature. Vocabulary changes and grows, and on one or two  
occasions, I noticed that the terminology file for my language was  
suggesting translations that weren't quite up-to-date (my fault,  
nobody else's). All I needed to do was open another tab with the  
terminology file, Search for that term, and I could update it. Three  
clicks, bar entering the string.

And next time that term came up as a suggestion, it was current. I  
love live update. :)

This brings me to a suggestion: how difficult would it be for us to  
_add_ to the terminology file?

I haven't been editing for long this evening, but already I've  
noticed repeated terms which aren't covered by the terminology file,  
but usefully could be. For example, the terminology file covers Point  
and Break, but not Breakpoint, which is not exactly Point+Break. It  
would be terrific if we could add a term to the terminology file as  
easily as we can edit one.

Do you think it would be viable? Just for that file: we don't want  
people adding original strings to PO files!

As part of the TM function, we could have Add Term... ;)
