Re: [libreoffice-l10n] Weblate -downloading the cy-GB tranlation of LibreOffice UI Master

Thanks for your reply.

The problem is that you have moved to a new platform with out it being 
set up properly and proper testing. Saying things like 'Not an easy one 
at the moment, we are working to provide a solution' and '...we are also 
working on adding...' shows a lack of consideration for your translators 
who contribute freely of their precious time. Why not ask a small group 
of translators to get involved in developing a new platform, whilst the 
rest continue until it's bullet-proof?

I know Pootle is not being supported, I had a chat with one of the 
ex-devs recently, but it's not broken, LibreOffice Weblate as is is not 
fit for purpose, it may never be, it was not set up for a large project 
like LO.

Have you considered Mozilla's Pontoon? LO's senario is similar to 
Mozilla's with Pootle's demise. It's a large scale +100 language 
translation tool using .po files, that may fit better than Weblate.

Weblate UI translation ( 
https://hosted.weblate.org/translate/weblate/master/cy/?type=todo&offset=10#machine 
) includes machine translation by Google and Microsoft. Are these going 
to be included? They work well for Welsh. Something was appearing at 
times under the Machine Translation tab, whilst I worked on the strings. 
I though it was the delay. I'd translated the string by the time the 
response appeared.

I notice that there are new strings on Pootle LibreOffice 6.3 - UI - 
(https://translations.documentfoundation.org/cy/) are these the new 
strings in Weblate or are they different?

Are we still using Pootle?
