Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Questions about Translations of the Guides

Hi :)
Sorry, only just dared to answer this one!  My opinion doesn't really count.  You probably have a far better idea of what is going on because of discussions in your team and from getting involved in the work.  

"Release early and release often" sometimes means just getting a first iteration out there that people can see and use even if you know parts of it are wrong or "not quite as perfect as you would like".  The next time you go through you have some notes or even just vague ideas of improvements you want to make and you may get a chance to do some of those changes.

It means you get a result out there into the world so that people can see and use the result.  Some of that might result in criticism but a lot of that criticism can be turned around by inviting the critical people to join the team to help put things right.  

So, don't worry about re-doing things to be perfect.  Just get the first version out there.  Don't aim at perfect the first time.  That is my thought.  
Regards from
Tom :)

Actually, we don’t check&report them as we considered them as "must be
recent" till now. And the localizers are not regular users of all the
applications.

We face them sometimes.
eg:https://translations.documentfoundation.org/tr/libo_help/translate.html?unit=14569917

Well, i think there might be a good feedback option for the QA of the
original strings. Pootle has a comment box, which we can add a
"unique" word to the strings which we may think:

- Outdated,
- Bad wording
- Vanished feature etc.

For example a unique word of comment as "tombalak", will work such a
tag, and it will be possible to track this strings and report them.

What's your opinion?

Regards,
Zeki
