Re: Problems merging stable to gui-release

[fgnievinski]

John, the translations that only exist in gui-release will be gone for good
if you copy over the stable ts file.  There's no storage for translations
other than the ts files themselves.  That's acceptable because translations
are supposed to be revised after gui-release reaches string freeze.  And no
translations are supposed to be introduced only in gui-release prior to
that.  The only translation changes possible in gui-release are those
related to minor typos or ellipsis being inserted.  From a translator's
perspective, it's okay to lose these automatic translation changes.  What is
not, is losing manual translation changes.

Bottom line is: if you're okay with the manual merge of ts files, please
continue doing so.  If it ever becomes too much of a burden, there's always
the option of deleting the gui-release ts files and rebuilding from the
stable ts.

Thanks,
-F.
