+ a million!!!

Before 4.2, I was pretty frustrated by having to retranslate previously
translated strings, because "~" had been changed into "_", thereby creating
some 6000 (IIRC) "untranslated" words. Sometimes TM helped, but with one or
two-word strings, there were often several alternatives, so I had to chase
the previous translation down in my 4.1 installation.

Btw, Andras & Cloph already wrote a script for automatically migrating help
translations, I suppose that could be reused (or used as reference, at
least) for UI as well. I can't find the thread on list-archive for some
reason, but look for "autofix for helpIDs in libo_help in progress (was:
Automatic translations and no suggestions in Pootle)" in your own email
(around 27 Nov 2013).
