It can grandiosely screw up on merges/updates, especially when strings with alternative translations are involved. This and the fact that it "forgets" translations because it has pretty much nonexistent fuzzy matching is the main reason I keep a local SVN repository of all Pootle project I work on. Diffing PO files is a pain, but still better than having broken translations and having to repeatedly retranslate something I already translated. It's still possible this wasn't the case of course. Newer versions of Pootle include a timeline function, that shows who and how changed the string. If it doesn't contain a corresponding entry, it's Pootle to blame, if it does, well, you can lynch the guilty individual to your heart's content. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: l10n+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/l10n/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
