Hi Claude,

This was not discussed earlier elsewhere, afaik.

And it is not an easy task as I do not have the judge-proven screenshots. ;)

Ukrainian interface translation was at 100% since 3.34 (yes, it is a shame as 
it might be treated by the other teams as trying to arrange the needless rat 
race). So it is an easy thing for me to track down those things but I do not 
know how to prove it afterwards.

I might be wrong but the branching of gnome-todo (3.28, stable) and five-or-
more (3.32, stable) showed incomplete Ukrainian translations for GNOME 3.36 
and 3.38 which the "complete" before the branching.

That's not a problem for me. I just reapplied the translations from master. 
Now it's all right and Fedora stats are good.

But it might be a problem for GNOME users of Ubuntu (I have registered the 
discrepancioes for 21.04) and the teams with long reviewing processes.

Thanks in advance for your consideration.

Best regards,
Yuri
