First and most important: I'm really pissed of about translation management
(or, rather mis/nonmanagement) in this development cycle and seriously
contemplating to make, after 10 years, Mandriva history for me.

More specifically. Up to today I lived in blessed knowledge that Estonian
translation is totally OK as the only statistics I know of (
http://mdk.jack.kiev.ua/stats/gui/trunk/team/et/) showed translation at
100%. Yes, I did know Transifex is in equation, too, but sadly there is no
statistics, even not the ML 2011 project which could be used as reference
point, and besides I had perception SVN and Transifex are synchronized, so I
didn't think Transifex can have updated or new strings which are not
reflected in mentioned statistics page. So, if I saw today,
mandriva-kde-translation has some new strings, I did go to Transifex (it is
recommended now, not directly committing in SVN, AFAIK). For some peculiar
reason I decided to see other files, too, and was really shocked to see many
new/updated strings. Nothing about them in mentioned statistics page, and
even more, nobody mentioned about them to the translators, e.g. in
cooker-i18n list. Of course, I updated all of them and can now just hope
they make it in ML 2011... But what I really cannot understand, is why
nobody at Mandriva seems to care about translations anymore... It was bad
for last release but now I've feeling translators and translations are
absolutely abandoned...
