It is not realistic to release nightly builds with all languages. * Translators do not update their language daily * Tree is not buildable every night * It takes hours to export files from Pootle * It takes hours to fix build breaking bugs in translations * It takes hours to build --with-language=ALL (what platforms do you want? Linux, Windows, Mac? I guess you want them all. :) * It takes hours to upload binaries to a public ftp/www server So, It hink it will not happen anytime soon. On the other hand *you* can always try to build from the source (only your language), it requires a few gigabytes of space on hard drive and some time. Also, TDF releases translated builds quite often. Not nightly, but for 3.5.0 we released a beta, rc or a final version in every 1-2 weeks. Strings do not change - in theory - in the libreoffice-3-5 brach, and there will be many releases from that branch, so you can keep improving translations. KeyID builds were provided with 3.5 betas. I don't know, if they are still available somewhere. They will be provided again for 3.6 betas in a few months.
