OK, I figured this out and regenerated a messages.pot file. Instead of using translator.sh, I resynced PO files with my favourite command line: msgmerge -U --previous <pofile> messages.pot This allows keeping "previous" English versions when a string is slightly changed and the translation is then turned to fuzzy state. Advanced PO editing tools make use of this to show translators what was changed in the string. In long string, it is incredibly helpful when a minor thing changed and is the only reason for a translation becoming fuzzy. Maybe the various Makefiles in <lang>/LC_MESSAGES directories should be changed to use this.... After doing that, I went on a problem for several existing PO files: the current "Last-Translator" field does indeed David Garza Grand address, so a call for update would then be sent to him. As I suspect that, except Spanish translation, he is not the author of the French, Norwegian, Russian translations, we seem to have a problem: who is then the last translator (to whom should the call for update be sent)? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity and more.
