I am reviving this old thread because it looks like Arnaud never

a few days ago.

This behavior is very disruptive to the translator workflow.
Translators have a very reasonable expectation that their translations
(as seen in the master and stable git branches and at l10n.gnome.org)
will make it to distros and users without being "fixed" in a hidden
way first.

Hi Arnaud,

I see:

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/dconf-editor/commits/maintainer-only-3-32/po

which seems pretty excessive. You probably wouldn't be very happy if translators starting introducing unexpected changes outside of po/, right? In the same way, the translators would prefer you to not make changes under po/.

Why is this necessary? They can't maintain their translations if you have your own separate translations that never make it into l10n.gnome.org.
