Hi, Having completed Telugu translation, I would like to share my feedback

For example same strings repeat for te and te-IN. I do not know the current constraints or whether current POT file is not properly put together, but this could have been handled by capturing translations for substrings and putting them in the UI. Virtaal tool was helpful in the translation work of such strings, though it fails to show the exact match, even though it was just entered. 2. I have noticed some more strings for installing spell checker dictionary for some languages, as more extensions are added, maintaining the translation becomes difficult. 3. I have seen some repeats for installation commands for different distributions as well. 4. In the HTML paras, the string to be highlighted is given as URL instead of appropriate English word. Hope that there will be a better system for the future releases.
