Most of the interface changes are already in 2.6, so what you are seeing right now on pootle.lxde is mostly what it will look like in 2.7. (2.6 was never officially released, so the changelog includes changes from 2.6). > >>One I would like to mention in advance is how committing to VCS works. >>Pootle will no longer try to integrate with git by itself.

What we do for most of our instances is we have a continuous cycle that is so fast that people never need to worry about manually triggering it (Mozilla pulls in every hour, Evernote every 15 minutes). Regarding syncing from git to Pootle, that is something we are keen on no longer supporting. It creates several inconsistency issues, some of which we are currently hitting in 2.6. We have spent a lot of time thinking about and drafting a solid "translation in code" model. 2.7 is a step in the right direction, but this is an ongoing usability experiment as well. To be honest, translations should not even be version controlled alongside the code but in their own VCS (in this case, Pootle would be the VCS, but it could also be a separate git repository). We are actively discussing these issues with the translation community and all of this is still up for debate. > >>I have successfully tested a pootle upgrade on the LXDE database. >>There's still a few kinks to be ironed out.
