Hi, Sophie, regarding 16 and 18, I think these are important or even most important ones.
The 18 is the crucial one and should be tried in a separate world, with an extra instance of Pootle to test what really happens. Without testing this with real world examples it should not be introduced. As with 16, I do think it might be important if I understand correctly how gettext functions are working (and script using these commands, like pomigrate2 etc.). In Slovenian and probably other languages same English strings are translated sometimes differently. Some languages use cases, so same word that has one form in English has several forms in other languages. Also, some words in English have different meanings/translations in other languages depending on context. By the change in 16 I fear that the translation systems will offer or even automatically use the first available translation of the English string and not offer a fuzzy string for translators to check if translation is right (i.e. it will not make difference between different translations of same English string that is now defined by this part of po file). As I am using my own translation systems, using basic Translate Toolkit commands and scripts so I am ready to try your testing po sets on my translation memory to see, what happens. Also, the LO version, if this goes through, should be decided in advance, 5.4 for sure is not the one for this.
