As far as my memory serves me, no additions to Pootle were made after 3.3 or 3.4.
No, that should be much more recent. Pootle hasn't been used after 4.1.0 since all the 4.1.x releases did not contain string changes. But 4.0.0 and 4.1.0 were fully translated in Pootle (maybe 4.1.0 was updated only on demand since we didn't have many string changes between 4.0.0 and 4.1.0).
Pootle came to a halt in probably the year or the year after it went to Apache.
It didn't come to a halt per se; simply, new releases haven't brought string changes and 4.2.0 will be the first release where we need to import a significant number of string changes.
Having the old translations in Pootle would require an upgrading of the templates in Pootle, used for the translations, with preservation of the translated strings.
Due to code changes, 4.2.0 will need some special work: we moved some strings, and Pootle won't be able to recognize they were moved. But its built-in translation memory will probably hep and suggest the previous translation if people are willing to review.
I mainly worked with translated PO-files ( checking with GSIcheck and repairing errors and then putting the corrected PO-files back)
So, would you be able to export (I assume) Dutch from Pootle, pass it through GSIcheck, check that it passes and document this step? I remember having troubles at this step when I tried last year, but (even if I've helped with translations since the pre-Apache era) GSIcheck was never part of my routine.
