OK, I understand.

That's fine. I now know where to look and in what. And I can then
"propagate" (manually copy) the changes to the Transifex.
Sorry that I am not very helpful to your work. Translating several
hundreds of strings is not easy for one person. So, I usually try to
translate quickly, but without any real or deep control quality
considerations. Then I do the other rounds where I concentrate much more
on the quality - first, trying to correct my mistakes (spelling,
grammar) and second, very often I have to look at the Internet for
information on some projects/software to be able to translate some more
technically-oriented topics (sometime I have no really a clue what I am
translating about). In short, I have just finished the first round. Now,
it's the time when I will try to correct my mistakes and overall polish
the text.
It is just that if I can have access to files like your one it would be
fine also for me to correct myself. But anyway, next time I will try to
be more careful also to you, ie. from the beginning. ;-)
