Re: [libreoffice-l10n] Request for breaking string freeze

Hi Ming,

there are some l10n teams working out of Weblate (like Slovenian), so if
this string freeze gets accepted, please do post here this fact.

If it gets approved, we must deliver translations into Weblate or code
repository by January 20, to get it into RC3 (planned for Week 4 , Jan 20,
2020 - Jan 26, 2020).

So hopefully this decision would be made by tomorrow and Weblate promptly
updated.

Personally I do not mind it, but just let us know ASAP so we can work on a
l10n update in the next days.

Lp, m.
