[libreoffice-l10n] Re: LO translation, some questions

Hello again Martin,

About Bugzilla, yes it's for reporting errors, not all ones (see 
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/BugReport) but translations ones ok.

However, suggesting a fix on Weblate would be faster and more practical.

What are the problems on Weblate that you encounter? Slowliness? Lack of 
some features? bugs in some features?

Are there some bugs/requests for enhancement on Bugzilla related to 
Weblate? (I didn't find anything, perhaps missed them)

Indeed, I suppose as any soft Weblate is not perfect but trying to 
improve it might be possible.

The goal is to avoid extra work. Indeed, if every language team did the 
same, it would be very tedious.

Regards,

Julien

I noted that you
