Re: [libreoffice-l10n] Translation of incorrect formatted strings

Hi, Sophia, *,

that is why I suggested a simple extension of gerrit interface with a flag
whether that particular issue changes UI or help strings/affects l10n
process.

That way it would be much easier for interested documentation and l10n team
members to check on those entries before they get pushed or report errors
just as they get pushed. And not after a few months when they land in the
updated Pootle and first translators recognize them as errors ...

Lp, m.
