Does anyone have an idea when we'll be able to switch to the new pootle
system?
Maybe it makes more sense to discuss possible needed changes of the
English strings now when doing localization or validating strings and
wait for the changes until we're on pootle. Maybe it will have a better
handling of changing strings and at least preserve the old translation
instead of setting it all back.
Being case-insentive would also be great, then at least these sort of
small corrections don't mess with the other languages.

I was mainly talking about higher level corrections. But we can at
least collect those cases where the translators run into
problems/inconveniences that would call for some real dev attention
instead of only rewriting a few strings.
