Re: [Tiki-devel] Transifex / Tiki tranlation

Another problem I see is how to manage that people do not translate 
against each other by using different platforms. How to deal with 
conflicts, when I translate something on Transifex and you translate the 
same via svn or via interactive translation differently.

Until now, if an English string was updated the translated string may not have been carried through an upgrade. It would, however, depend on the developer and if they took the time to change all the corresponding English strings in the other languages.

We are already well on our way to making this happen and I'm expecting that by the Tiki 19 release much of this will have come together.
