in general, we try to keep the work for translators as low as possible, eg. we keep untranslated strings for the app and upload them only after they're settled in english language. also, we have a special script that allows to update the sources without the need of re-translations (eg. if we fix a typo in english). same for the website, typically we upload the strings to transifex only after the pull requests are already discussed and merged. the most recent changes, however, were needed because some technical things we had to do (and that is not yet 100% done), so the noise was/is not really avoidable. let me also take this opportunity for a big "thank you" to all translators. cheers - bjoern On 14.01.2020 14:53, compl4xx wrote: > Hi :) > > thanks for your valuable work, I just pulled the new translations from > transifex to the website. > > I'll keep it in mind for future changes :) Maybe we find a way to make > some changes without triggering transifex. > > Thanks, > > compl4xx > > On 13.01.20 21:33, Enrico Bella wrote: >> Hello, >> I've noticed that you changed the website text many times in the last >> weeks, also for little changes. >> Please keep in mind that any little change in the text will mark the >> string as new and it will become untranslated.
