Hello everyone,

I forgot to press the Reply All button again... I fixed the issue, it was
PEBKAC and the cause was me. I only merged P=C3=A9ter's new translations in=
to
the existing files, replacing the untranslated and fuzzy messages, but the
translated messages were not swapped. We talked in private too, I support
his account request in case I'm not available for committing.

Best regards,
Kristof

Hello Peter,<br>
<br>
=C2=A0&gt; =E2=80=A6<br>
=C2=A0&gt; After the team uploaded my file, I noticed that the strings in t=
he <br>
Git repository were not properly replaced by my new translations. <br>
Instead, they seem to have been merged incorrectly, resulting in a <br>
chaotic and broken end result.<br>
=C2=A0&gt;<br>
=C2=A0&gt; The Hungarian team has cited technical reasons for being unable =
to <br>
completely replace the incorrect file in the repository with my new, <br>
verified version.<br>
<br>
It would be very helpful to know those technical issues. Then many of <br>
reading here could point out, what was done wrong and how it should be <br>
done right way. This would help you and the team. This way the team will <b=
r>
learn not to make those mistakes again.<br>
<br>
=C2=A0&gt; Because of this, the current version in the repo is a mix of cor=
rect <br>
and incorrect strings, which makes the translation broken for the users. <b=
r>
I am looking for someone with SVN/Git access who could help me perform a <b=
r>
clean overwrite with my verified file.<br>
<br>
I don&#39;t think someone will do this because this is almost the same as t=
o <br>
give you write access without checking who you are and if you fulfill <br>
all required criteria for a developer account described in <br>
<a href=3D"https://community.kde.org/Infrastructure/Get_a_Developer_Account=
" rel=3D"noreferrer" target=3D"_blank">https://community.kde.org/Infrastruc=

If this is really only some technical issue on the Hungarian team side <br>
