Hi Chandrakant,

Depends on which option you choose when uploading. If you overwrite the
file, then the other translators' work is wiped out. If you merge your work
into existing file, then others' work is preserved, and in case of
conflicts (i.e. you and some other translator have both translated the same
string) yours is added as a suggestion. If you add everything as a
suggestion, then obviously the other translators' work is preserved.

I'd say that normally, the merge option is the most productive.

Best regards,
Mihkel
