Re: Improving things for translators (part 2)

[Leonardo Fontenelle <leo fontenelle gmail com>]

I use jhbuild to check out all the source code (translations included)
of a release, e.g. gnome-2-22. That way I don't have the risk of
committing to trunk a translation without noticing the module branched.
It's not smart, but it make my life easier.

That's what _I_ use, not the average pt_BR l10n team member. We only
have two active translation committers, and one or another team member
helping with the reviewing. The regular team members download the PO
file from l10n.gnome.org, complete it, and attach to a bug report in
Bugzilla, to help the reviewers/committers remember to review the
translations:

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/buglist.cgi?query=component%3A%22Brazilian
+Portuguese+%5Bpt_BR%5D%22+product%3Al10n

But that's past and present; with a convenient tool, some of this could
be handled differently.
