Re: [libreoffice-l10n] uploading files for Aragonese (an) localization

Hi Friedel,
 Thanks your your ideas! You are completely right that it is not the optimal solution in most 
cases, and I don't recommend it in general (except perhaps for other languages where Apertium works 
well, and with small translating communities prefering online translation, if any other language 
matches this conditions).
 In our case:
a) Apertium is not enabled just now on the Pootle server (I think it was till some weeks ago).
b) In the case of Aragonese, I am coincidentally the main developer of the Apertium es-an pair.  I 
took profit of the .po files to include new terms in Apertium dictionaries, commiting changes to 
the Apertium svn, but those changes will not be available immediately in the Apertium web service, 
so I can take profit to improve the translator and use the most recent version to improve the total 
translation, letting it available for the comunity.
c) My idea to overcome problems with changes in English strings is to repeat periodically the 
process: 1-download the .zip files from pootle, 2-retranslate fuzzy and unstranslated strings with 
the very last version of apertium mt and 3 -upload the files with the new translations (which 
affect all fuzzy strings regardless of the cause for its fuzzyness), repeating this process 
periodically, especially when big changes in English strings or big improvement in Apertium occurs.

I think this can work in our case, but I may be forgotting something.

  thanks!
Juan Pablo
