manually synchronize xx.po files with package.pot?

[Nikos Charonitakis]

Translators have to sychronize their files with package.pot after they
checkout translate module or they can start immediately to edit their
language file?
I noticed that in my language (Greek) redhat-menus el.po although
translated 100% was not in sync with redhat-menus.pot. The result is
english entries in menus for Fedora Core 5
and also different word for System top menu (in Greek is Desktop).

Generally in FC5 we have the same old problems :translations not
included and much translator work is lost...

Merge with latest POT file is under Translator's control. So, It will be
better for translator to merge with POT before start work on language file

for not included translation, please you file a bug again package and 
select severity 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/page.cgi?id=fields.html#bug_severity 
as "Translation"

Hmm... I thought last time we already agreed that translation will be 
automatically updated when POT file is changed.

Server should run cron job to make sure that all translation is up to 
date and in sync with the latest POT.

I for one prefer it the way it is now -- I hate working on a big
translation for several days, only to find that by the time I finally
commit my work, it results in a CVS conflict because the file had been
automatically merged with a newer POT in CVS, which is something that
I'm perfectly capable of doing myself, and I which I always do
anyways.
