Re: [libreoffice-l10n] Re: .src and .ui gettext migration

Caolan,

you should test this really extensively, with the Pootle content as well as
with the non-Pootle l10n teams.

I can help you use the Slovenian translation, as I use a separate
localization platform.
Thus we could test if this change leads to translation corruption or loss
of translated content.
