So IMO there's the root of the problem. Lets say a developer does want to make LibreOffice comply with the GNOME HIG and stick full colons at the end of every label that is a label for another widget and is willing to fix all the translations at the same time then he can't really do it. So there really needs to be some way for developers to mass change translations themselves, and ideally a trivial way. I think we should not worry too much about the offline "upload and overwrite" style case. There's no helping that :-) C. -- 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
