It would be very helpful to know those technical issues. Then many of reading here could point out, what was done wrong and how it should be done right way. This would help you and the team. This way the team will learn not to make those mistakes again. > Because of this, the current version in the repo is a mix of correct and incorrect strings, which makes the translation broken for the users. I am looking for someone with SVN/Git access who could help me perform a clean overwrite with my verified file. I don't think someone will do this because this is almost the same as to give you write access without checking who you are and if you fulfill all required criteria for a developer account described in https://community.kde.org/Infrastructure/Get_a_Developer_Account and therein referenced documents. > I have requested developer access to the SVN repository via https://identity.kde.org. My request has been in 'Awaiting processing' status for a few days now, and there has been no change. A few days is OK because contributing to open source is done in private time (same applies to admins, I think). And you could reply to mail you have got after developer account application and ask if something missing from your side. > I am requesting your assistance to perform a clean overwrite with the correct file. If this is really only some technical issue on the Hungarian team side then someone of them could describe the issue here and many of us reading here will try to help. Best regards Alexander
