Hello, CCing Julian, co-maintainer of the Fractal
As some of you may know, a rewrite of Fractal has been happening for a while now. The master branch was mostly inactive while the rewrite was happening on the fractal-next branch. The application was not yet usable, we didn’t even offer a nightly flatpak, and the pace of changes was such that it didn’t make sense to put it on Damned lies yet. We are now about to change that. `master` will be renamed to `legacy` and `fractal-next` will be renamed to `main`. `main` will, as the name states, become the main branch. A nightly flatpak will be provided through the GNOME apps nightly repository, replacing the current nightly built from `master`. The application is not advanced enough to be considered beta, we are not replacing the beta and stable builds from flathub. This is still in development and we are not freezing strings yet, but we’ve reached a point where strings are going to be moving a lot less and it makes sense to start translating. I’ll announce when the change happens so we can do the switcheroo on DL. That’s for the heads up to translators. Now the question that came up when planning this is whether we could bring back the old translations to provide a base for translators, so they don’t have to start from scratch if the old version was already translated. I am the first one to say that developers should stay away from po files, but in this case… I don’t know. Can we just copy over files from the old `po` directory` into the new one? We aren’t going to “touch” the files and try any magic, merging, or replacement. This would be a simple copy-paste of the files. I think that is the same thing we’ve been doing in the past for instance for release notes. Does that work here?
