I just meant to use rules for new strings, not to make revolution in
current translations. At least not for now, when we are frustrated by all
the changes due to .ui conversion and when Pootle has no translation
memory. However, the current state is far from what you describe: we
resubmit translations for options pricing (first letter capitalized),
graphics changed to images, change in reset filter...

And I'm sorry, but volunteers can't be forced to do more important things -
they do what they like/are able to do; and it should be clearly said what
is desired and what isn't.

Best regards,
Stanislav
