The "master copy" of translations is with each l10n team and is not in git or Pootle. That means we can back-port or fix anything in git or Pootle, but translators can overwrite it with an older copy. So the real challenge it to have something fixed at the translators' master copy, which could be in Pootle, or a in a custom l10n system, or in files on translator's hard disk etc. Cheers, Andras -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to l10n+h...@global.libreoffice.org Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/l10n/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
