I must be missing something because all the changes in your MR have a
net increase of content (e.g. ar.po is
+ 1538 - 682) so I would expect the translations to actually take up
more space after the update.
Sorry for being unclear, I'll try to explain better.
The merge requests changes the .po files, and they indeed increase in
size:
- new translated strings are added
- translations for removed strings are commented out (but not removed)
But both comments and untranslated messages are discarded when
compiling the .po to .mo files, so the latter do get smaller (because
the additions are not added, while message that were commented out are
removed)
If it’s a pointless change vs. a pointless status quo, I’ll
choose the
pointless status quo
Fair enough. Feel free to close the MR.
