It's exactly then that the issue I'm talking about is the most
visible. I'm language manager for Swedish. We stay close to 100%
translation a lot of the time, but the strings are a moving target.
HTA never stays 100% green for very long, due to changes in the
code. Also the translators work all the time, try strings, try names,
discuss, change strings. This work essentially -removes- strings
until the manager approves them. This work is on-going. Completion
does not mean things slow down or go silent.
If I commit a set of catkeys where the state is less than 100%
whereas the set in SVN were 100%, that is a step back. And that's
something I think a proper workflow can avoid. The language should
sign off on a definite set of catkeys, in the form of a tarball,
since that's the only means of snapshotting HTA currently.
