I got pulled into other stuff and slowed down the patch flushing pace. I'll try to increase it again, as I'd like to prepare a release during this month or so. OTOH, personally I would not see much of a problem with a 1.17.0 release needing translation work, because we are at the beginning of the release cycle and this will affect mainly unstable (and testing users) at most. Also knowing that multiple changes to strings will not trigger wasted work for translators is relaxing. > > As a reminder to translators, please try to avoid useless merges (usually > > from pulls, you can use -r there), and try to squash commits before a > > push, otherwise the history gets cluttered with uninteresting stuff.

I'd have to take a look at it again. In any case some times multiple consecutive commits can be avoided if the push is postponed until the translation session is finished (even if that session last several days).
