Thank you for that. It will be included in the next release (probably
Pootle 1.2.1).

Yes, we definitely need to revisit the way we handle these things. My
feeling is that somebody with translate rights, should be allowed to
review suggestions. We are making a distinction that is not that useful
at the moment. I just gave you full administrative rights for the Dutch
translation of Pootle, and you will be able to solve your problem in two
ways:
 - Accept all the suggestions
 - Upload the file in "overwrite" mode. Note that this entirely
overwrites the complete file, no questions asked.

Thank you for bringing that to our attention. We really need somebody to
look at improving the state of our documentation for the next release. I
would definitely want to take people to translated documentation. The
current documentation is also not optimally useful, in my opinion.
Please let us start and collect ideas for the next release.

Thank you again,
Friedel
