Re: [libreoffice-l10n] Possible help files rename?

Sveinn,

I am not sure we are talking about the same thing or that I understand
this correctly.

They change the names of the help files (i.e. calc/01.po is now
calcsfirsthelpfilewithhelpaboutfunctions.po). For the migration
process they become new po files.

The pomigrate2 script takes the translation memory, but it was
generated from the old files (like the old calc/01.po file) with
different msgctx and comment fields etc. So even if all strings in the
renamed file are actually the same as in 01.po , they will become
fuzzy strings, right?

So for calc/01.po that is like 8000 strings, fuzzy strings. And since
we translators will not know if there is at least one changed or
updated string in there, we will have to go manually through all those
8000 strings, reading and checking and ultimately 8000 times clicking
it is not a fuzzy but an ok translation.

Well, if that is done in all help files, it means 26000 reviewed
strings with 26000 clicks that these strings are just fine.

Am I wrong?

100 localization teams doing those 26000 clicks would mean like
2.600.000 reviewed strings ...

I hope I am wrong.

Lp, m.
