Re: [libreoffice-l10n] Really 8,000 words more for Master%

Hi Sophie,

I know, sorry if you felt this was aimed at you - it wasn't - though I 
am quite certain your assessment was correct, which is why I "replied" 
to your post. It was aimed at whoever is letting this happen again and 
again and again. This has been a complaint for as long as I can remember 
on LO and I'm somewhere between gutted and furious that it's still 
happening. Sure, maybe a locale like German or French has the 
translators to throw at another 28k of work that was already done but 
most locales aren't that fortunate. Take Uyghur, it was at 97% when OO 
and LO split. There hasn't been much translation activity in this locale 
in both OO and LO since and there haven't been *that* many genuinely new 
strings in LO actually but that has left Uyghur on 61% and if I click 
through the strings on Uyghur, it's one 100% match after the other.

Yes, this is an angry post (not angry at Sophia) but before someone 
slaps me down for being angry, maybe ask yourself at which point getting 
angry is justified in a FOSS project when someone somewhere for some 
arcane reason keeps wasting your lifetime as if it didn't matter. Do we 
really want to burn out localizers like they were a dime a dozen?

Michael
