It looks like the patch below has changed the context of a whole bunch
of strings so Weblate thinks they are new:

Yikes!
Hopefully there’s a way to get the old translations back.
Christian has done some magic in the past to recover translations in cases
like patch reverts, and he has automated changes like copyright-year
updates in a way that needs no translator involvement (thanks for that!
Some of us try to maintain more than one language in Weblate so this is
hugely appreciated…).
Yes, let's ask Christian first if there is a possibility in the backend
for all of us.
It would be good to know what steps need to be performed (perhaps
documented in the wiki) so that this knowledge isn’t siloed away and
hopefully other contributors can help in this kinds of situations that
suddenly put a huge workload on a few shoulders. I imagine that could even
help unblock long-stalled minor typographic upgrades that haven’t been done
because they would trigger retranslations.
I think it's possible via the Automatic translation under Operations,
the only thing I wonder is why translation memory is not an option for
the source of the automated translation.
And yes, documenting the steps is a good idea.
By the way, it’s unfortunate that this extraordinary situation had to
happen while TDF is losing a sysadmin…
I don't see the connection, Guilhem is leaving in December, that let us
some time to solve the translation situation :)
Cheers
