Oups, I've already completed the translation :( Sorry that I didn't
mention it here. Well, we will use this turn as a training one for you
if you agree :)
First, did you merge the .pot file with the .po one, or did you
transform the .sdf one in .po?

When the translation doesn't match with the sources.

ok, please send me your files, I'll have a look and will comment
inside, it will be easier as it depends of the context

You can leave comments. What software did you use to edit the files ?

Don't tag them as fuzzy, but leave a comment and I'll review your translation.

I'll leave a comment in the file

For this turn, some of our friends will commit our files to git
directly. Next time, we will use Pootle I think. It's better to
convert the final translation as .sdf file to run gsicheck on it (what
I should have done and will do this evening). Gsicheck allow to verify
that the file is not corrupted (no tagID missing or translated, or
other errors like that) and make sure that the build won't break.

Please send me your file directly, I'll comment your translation and
next time we will coordinate better our work :)
Kind regards
Sophie
