I agree with removing the tabs Translating was difficult; I could only do it by editing the .po file manually. But it's clumsy for new translators, and I don't mind a little extra work. The main thing is that this important plugin is being maintained actively, for which I am grateful to Harald

[Xfce-i18n] xfce4-weather-plugin: tip for dealing with long explanations of weather issues

Hello fellow translators, xfce4-weather-plugin nowadays contains a lot of long explanations of weather issues and measurement standards. Like me, you might lack the time or inclination to translate these, as they don't seem very functional to me in this plugin I find that in almost every case

[Xfce-i18n] Warning: many xfce .po files have been corrupted on Transifex.com

When you download a .po file from Transifex.com and you open it with a text editor like Gedit, you see that many files have been partly corrupted. Probably because of the transfer of the .po files to Transifex.com, some time ago. The corruption is visible for line breaks: many of those have simply

[Xfce-i18n] Transifex.com: headers are being removed from uploaded .po files

Another problem with Transifex.com: the headers of the .po files are being removed and replaced by a generic text. For example, this is the header in the file thunar.po that I uploaded: # Dutch translation (Nederlands) of the thunar package. # Copyright (C) the author of the aforementioned packag

Hello, I have a question for the Xfce developers: The Whisker menu (xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin) from Graeme Gott has become rather popular: not only is it present by default in the Xfce edition of Linux Mint, but it's being considered by the Xubuntu devs as well. Homepage: http://gottcode.org/xfce4

OK Hopefully it'll be resolved, because otherwise Transifex is a cool tool. In the meantime, maybe you could take a one-time emergency measure: a manual push of *all* .po files from Transifex to Git? Then at least we can be sure that all translation changes until today, are in Git Regards
