Cool - I overlooked this. Thanks for the clarification.

OK and sorry for the noise.
However, I'm wondering what you would consider the correct way to handle
this on the tasks pages for Blends. Here are some options:
1. No translation (which automatically creates a button which
asks for translation and links to the URL above). This would
be the most simple solution for me because it is "just implemented
in my rewritten code (but is different to my old code which is
why I detected the problem).
In this case I would really like to add a wishlist bug to the
ddtss server: Please use
<see below information about previous translation>
if there is any such stuff instead of just
<trans>
I'm afraid that more people like me - especially if they are newcomers
which I want to attract - will not notice the stuff below.
2. Fetch the "latest" translation I can find in UDD which is in so
far better because users at least get an impression about the package
(the document is not about any specific package version - so it is
not really wrong usually). In this case a not so visible "Fix
package translation" link will show up and will probably not attract
translators.
3. I could ask you for injecting also those translations which are
outdated into the UDD export to gain for some completeness - but
that's probably the worst solution because it requires wokr on
your and my side with a questionable result.
What do you think?
Kind regards
Andreas.
