It shows up as "untranslated", and the only way to change the status is to retranslate it, even if that retranslation is nothing more than a mouse click approving the existing translation. > to find a solution to avoid disturbing 115 people whenever a typo is found > in the English strings. The solution is for each variant of each language to be in Pootle as a target language. Corrections are made in the target_language_space, for each affected language, dialect, or cant. Rephrasing all that. Source_LibreOffice_language = Whatever the developers put in the strings to be translated. The language in those strings is irrelevant. Source_LibreOffice_language -> EN_ca Source_LibreOffice_language -> EN_nz Source_LibreOffice_language -> EN_uk Source_LibreOffice_language -> EN_us Source_LibreOffice_language -> En_za Source_LibreOffice_language -> DE_ar Source_LibreOffice_language -> DE_ch Source_LibreOffice_language -> DE_de Source_LibreOffice_language -> DE_na Source_LibreOffice_language -> DE_us etc Vocabulary found in Source_LibreOffice_language consists only of whatever the developers use/used. It is not, and need not correlate with any known language, whether natural, constructed, or artificial. >It must have happened several times before. It has. Every time it happens, a group of translators complains. Oliver's statement « People don't want to retranslate or review 4000 strings just because you changed apostrophes in en-US.» should not have been necessary, because fixing typographical conventions in one dialect of one language should _never_ require changes in another dialect, let alone another language. jonathon * English - detected * English * English <javascript:void(0);> -- 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
