For your first point, Andras is updated the file on Pootle against the template before git integration. May be you need to upload your translation again, I've done the same. Nothing is lost, it's only that your local files don't match the template in Pootle. > > E.g.: Options > LibreOffice Writer > View / Printing; LibreOffice > Writer/Web > View / Printing.

It's in Pootle, I've translated this string, and if I remember well, it's [Elements Dock]. I can't log in Pootle for the moment but I'll try to find the string this evening. > > But the worst thing is systematic messing up our work.

If this is so, there is an issue somewhere that we have to narrow and fix. The move to the new .ui files is necessary to get a better product (what we all want for our users :) and this represent some extra work for us too.

I understand your frustration, I feel sometime the same, but I think this move will be a really better situation for our users. In French there is several dialogs where the strings are truncated because our language use long words and much more words than in English. Several languages are in the same case so it's really a plus for them. > > Finally. Developers should realize that there are country where people are > really lazy.

Please don't give up. I'm alone to translate the software in French even if most of our administration is using it, so you see French are also very lazy :) This is a difficult period for us, there is several things we can optimize and correct. And we will do it. You know that we will have a conference in Italy, I'll speak with the developers about our situation and we will try to find solutions (more builds, more time, etc.). We don't want to see our localizers go away, definitely not, we are proud of their work and I'm happy to have you all around me. I'll need is a clear description of all what we need to not forget anything.
