+ a million!!! Before 4.2, I was pretty frustrated by having to retranslate previously translated strings, because "~" had been changed into "_", thereby creating some 6000 (IIRC) "untranslated" words. Sometimes TM helped, but with one or two-word strings, there were often several alternatives, so I had to chase the previous translation down in my 4.1 installation. Btw, Andras & Cloph already wrote a script for automatically migrating help translations, I suppose that could be reused (or used as reference, at least) for UI as well. I can't find the thread on list-archive for some reason, but look for "autofix for helpIDs in libo_help in progress (was: Automatic translations and no suggestions in Pootle)" in your own email (around 27 Nov 2013).
