I pushed the pot manually.<br>
Since we have infrequent explicit string freezes I don't think it's<br>
necessary to configure automatic pot updates again.<br>

Thanks Petr!<br>

Actually, having the strings updated on Transifex on a regular basis<br>
makes it (IMHO) more manageable for translators to update the<br>
translations even before a string freeze. Translating a dozen strings<br>
per week is lighter than a mere 339 strings.<br>

A possible problem with this approach is that the translators would see and translate messages that don't make it into the final version. Do you think a more even workload would be worth the occasional extra work?<br>

I also don't know if pulls from Transifex or push from your side has an<br>
effect of keeping memory (in suggestions) of past or close enough<br>
strings from the past for small modifications.<br>

Sadly, I don't know much about Transifex itself.

Another comment/request, I don't know given my zero-level Python-fu:<br>
would it be possible to break down the huge __doc__ strings in plugins<br>
into smaller parts, as a small modification would impact a smaller<br>
strings, easing maintenance instead of trying to track the one character<br>
modification in a 2000 chars text.<br>
<br>
Does Python support concatenations of __doc___ strings?<br>
</blockquote>
<br></div>
That is be possible on the Python side. I'm not sure how Transifex (and other translation tools) would cope with text split between several messages -- sorting and filtering the messages could take things out of context.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"></font></span><br clear="all">
</blockquote></div><br>I'm aware of this issue, translators for others languages may raise their hands. I could also probe trans@fp.o on that matter, to reach all of them.<br>That will nevertheless make changes more atomic, and overall easier to manage on the longer term. In the past, changes were just a matter of adding one paragraph, or adding one more usage example. Or fixing a typo. Which is way harder to spot when you have a 1000 chars strings tagged as changed.<br>
