<p>Hi,</p>
<p>it causes visual glitches, like comma faults, at least in the old
help system.</p>
<p>So yes, I think so.</p>
<p>Assuming the most translation were done already correctly<br>
it is also an opportunity to review own translations.</p>
<p>Otherwise there are just 2 clicks, no?</p>
<p>And it is not a long where it may "disturb" translators.<br>
Once it is done, it is done. Except new strings of course.<br>
</p>
<p>And there don't come in a big bunch and I am also testing in the
moment,<br>
which are the best practices to get rid of some failures<br>
and to make our help system and files more consistent.<br>
I have no problems with abandoning my patches for good reasons.</p>
<p>It is a learning process for me too.<br>

<div>Hi,<br>
<br>
just one example from Gerrit 4 hours ago:<br>
"vector graphics;converting bitmaps"<br>
</div>
was changed to:<br>
"vector graphics; converting bitmaps"<br>
</div>
<div>See: <a

Is that "missing space" an error? Not. What does this
change cause? It causes 100+ translations of that string
obsolete, fuzzy, untranslated, not shown in builds ...
And 100+ localizers must again localize, check, edit
this same string ...<br>
</div>
<br>
</div>
Is this kind of editing/"cleaning-up" of help really
useful/desired? Not.<br>
</div>
<br>

<div>And now the Babilon tower is open to all ...<br>

For years I was asking for a kind of a review process
for all new strings in UI/help and for the editing
process. So someone overlooks all the changes going in
and stops the ones that seem unfit (in langague or
technical sense), thus reducing the repetitive editing
of same strings.<br>
<br>
</div>
<div class="gmail_extra">Instead, now there is a
possibility to edit everything even more "easily",
with even less thinking about it before it is done.<br>
<br>
</div>
<div class="gmail_extra">So now we might see a surge in
help changes that make many l10n projects quite
vulnerable, and most probably several edits of same
strings in a row (a documenter reminding oneself that
another thing should be added or changed or edited,
after it is already featured in git).<br>
<br>
</div>
<div class="gmail_extra">Hopefully, this function is
limited to master, because if this is available in
"stable" versions, this will lead to havoc ...<br>
