If it hits just a few strings, I would do it. gettext helps you to find the updated original strings, so it's not so much work - be more flexible was one of the reasons to use gettext. And fixing typos or bad-English is IMHO a good idea. For the next release, you should maybe officially announce a date for a string freeze. > >> I assume msgids coincide with the text displayed in English, > > > >No. The coincide with the text found in the source.

It gets the original string and then searches the table in the given catalog for the corresponding translations. It does AFAIR not "revert" a string from the hash-table. > >The attachment is forwarded to the list too. > > > Do I include it in the source or do I wait for the next version ? Include it. It updates the translation. As far as I understand Sebastian, no changes to msgids have been done. So there is no reason to wait for the update.
