And me expressing my disappointment at the accusing tone. We are not telepathic or mind readers, so we need people to tell us if they notice something is wrong. > We have noticed with great concern that many strings in the UI and Guide > remain untranslated, even though they are marked as 100% completed on the > Weblate platform. The guide translation was and is experimental, and my last info was that omega-T based translation is still the way to go for the time being. But I'll let Oliver answer that I guess. > And we do not actually have any information on whether > this situation is the same in other languages. Someone from any language team really should be subscribed to this list, then everything would become a lot smoother I think.. So yes, all languages were affected, it is not something specific to Italian translation. It had been reported https://www.mail-archive.com/l10n@global.libreoffice.org/msg14412.html on Feb 18. > […] It is difficult to understand > why these efforts have not produced consistent results for this project. Bugs happen.

See the above thread. Took immediate action to the best of my abilities. And the problem has been solved as far as I can tell. > The question now is: would it be possible to arrange an emergency build to > include the translations already completed? No need for an emergency build, since regular releases are scheduled for this week anyway. You'll be able to check with this week's builds for 25.2.2 rc1 and 24.8.6 rc1 or can also use the daily builds produced today. If you still find cases that don't match, make sure to mention them. > This scenario should never occur in a product that aims to be a viable > alternative to other office suites. Yes, should never occur.

If you keep the problems for yourself and only complain when the situation is "unbearable", then it is too late. Having such a complaint letter in such a tone co-signed by the whole team really makes me sad. ciao Christian -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: l10n+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: https://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/l10n/ Privacy Policy: https://www.documentfoundation.org/privacy
