Hi,

2013/12/12 Andras Timar <timar74@gmail.com>

It is OK to fix new strings, also it is OK to fix obvious typos
anywhere. But we should refrain from re-phrasing old messages. It
would make a lot of unnecessary work for translators, and loss of
translation for unmaintaned languages. IMHO we have more important
things to do, than unify ("Returns...", "Calculates...", "Value
of...") or ("cannot", "couldn't", "could not") or whatever.


I just meant to use rules for new strings, not to make revolution in
current translations. At least not for now, when we are frustrated by all
the changes due to .ui conversion and when Pootle has no translation
memory. However, the current state is far from what you describe: we
resubmit translations for options pricing (first letter capitalized),
graphics changed to images, change in reset filter...

And I'm sorry, but volunteers can't be forced to do more important things -
they do what they like/are able to do; and it should be clearly said what
is desired and what isn't.

Best regards,
Stanislav
