It took a while for me to figure out that you have to use the automerge script. It might be a good thing to put in the translation-guide...? I use automerge every time I have finished translating a file or if I see a pot file has changed. I also have a single-run version of automerge.sh so I can run in only one directory, otherwise I cant merge the specspro/desc/ and specspro/summary/ Best would be to run automerge automatically every time someone updates a new pot file in CVS. That would always keep the po file consistent, but it might be too dangerous.

But, what about those languages for which localization maintainers are changing frequently. Every time, we have to inform the new language maintainers about this automerge script, which is not a wise solution. So, i am requesting this task for the Fedora Localization Maintainer to do.</div><div> <blockquote cite="http://mid6600c1b10609140553i3e2eb167j85598ad5948b5b80@mail.gmail.com" type="cite">Doubt: There is any problem to do it?

Imho, instead of the translators doing it, this task can either be automated or done by the Fedora Translation Project coordinators (bottomline: centralizing the job) at a specified time so that the translators are aware whether they are handling older files and can schedule there tasks accordingly. regards Runa -- Language Maintainer - Bengali Engineering-Localization Services Red Hat Software Services India Pvt.
