Hi Jean-Baptiste, as far as I understand the whole Translation process there is still room between Beta and Final freezes to change strings in packages. From the maintainer/packager point of view, the changes in strings should be minimal as during the Beta and Final freezes there are mostly bug fixes, so these changes should not affect translated strings in most cases. From the translation point of view, the period between Beta and Final freezes can be used for bug fixes in translated strings. As far as I understand the scope of translation we (as Fedora community) provide, the String Freeze should apply only to packages in Zanata. Projects which are not translated by our (Fedora) community might have independent cycle and the String Freeze does not apply on these. Hopefully someone more senior in this area might answer these questions, if I am wrong :-) Thanks for your replay and Best Regards, Jan -- Jan Kuřík Platform & Fedora Program Manager Red Hat Czech s.r.o., Purkynova 99/71, 612 45 Brno, Czech Republic _______________________________________________ trans mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
