LibreOffice master Help and UI in Pootle

Hi All

I noticed there are now "new" strings in LibreOffice subfolders "master" for Help and UI.

Can we start to work on them or do we have to wait?

Ciao

How this "work in master" thing will actualy work?
If we don't want to work in master, will translations we do in 5.0 for example be overwritten with master when you switch to 5.1?
Or we all have to work in master and not branches?

Best regards,
Mihovil

As explained before, that will be your choice to work on master or on
branches. For the moment Christian is preparing the 5.0 translation.
I've pushed the most I can the migration to the new Pootle version, but
unfortunately the testing period is not over and there is still some
tweaks to do.
We (Christian or me) will keep you informed when the string are ready
for translation for 5.0.

Hi Valter, *,

You can start, but no auto-translation of the strings where only and ID or
the context-strings change has happened yet.

So feel free to translate if you wan't, but don't complain about "Hey, I
already translated that string" :slight_smile:

You have one master that will always be master. It is planned to
regularily sync the translations with the actual code repositories.

If we don't want to work in master, will translations we do in 5.0 for example be overwritten with master when you switch to 5.1?

Nothing ever gets overridden in master.
When 5-0 branch will be created in the code, the files from master
will be copied into new lib50_help/ui branches, and master will
continue to be used for 5.1

then when libreoffice-5-1 branch is created, the master files will be
copied to libo51_help/ui projects.

Or we all have to work in master and not branches?

There still will be branches.
