When there is an issue like the one I described last week, translating
off line is still a possibility, there are several tools available that
offers the same comfort as Pootle.

If you translate on master, you get more time, again there was an issue,
really sorry about the inconvenience, but without it you should have
only very few strings to translate as of now.

TDF has paid for Pootle enhancements following the L10n team requests.
The upgrade is planed in the next days. And as you know it was not a
Pootle issue that makes it slow all the week end.

I think it's not fair to say that. I hear each of your requests and take
care of it each time. I explained why there is an issue and it's still
not finished. So please, accept my apologize, I've monitored Pootle all
the week-end, but I can't accelerate the script unfortunately.

Cheers
Sophie
