Hello development and localization! I'm wondering about the policy on updating translatable strings in patch-releases. Our policy, as far as I know, only says that updating these strings should not happen for a release after string-freeze. However, recent bug-reports[0] have revealed that some changes made in Network triggers pre-existing error messages which are wrong given the new code, causing confusion for users.
This is why I am hoping to update and clarify these messages[1]. But since they are translatable (and this is long after string-freeze for 6.3 and even longer for 6.2) I was wondering if we have a policy (formal or informal) in place for this. Do we treat situations like this as a bug and make an exception (though extra effort will be required for translations in patch releases to have Qt fully translated) or do we limit such patches to 'dev' only?
