Re: Note for translators
The best solution, IMHO, would be to change the dpkg translation process to
use the Free Translation Project.
http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/contrib/po/HTML/
Doing so, the translator receive a mail every time "his" po have changed.
Then, he send the updated version to the robot, which checks for the
correctness of the [format of the] file. If it's correct, the file is
forwarded to the programmer.
Doing so, we were assured such problem never happen again.
See this link for the advantages for the programmer:
