> From what requires action, the duplicate resources named as regional codes (like ru_RU or es_ES) hold our previous work. While the resources named as language identifiers (like ru or es) are out of sync or contain empty translations. It means that the project translators would lose progress if the project maintainers kill the duplicates now. The progressed modules need to be merged in the right place, where these would be available to the teams members afterwards. This is to be done by the l10n coordinators.

That's 2 weeks before the docs translation period starts and about 1.5 month from now. Then we may ask the project maintainers to run a script to remove all those language resources.

> The merging task can be accomplished by using the Transifex-client tool available in Fedora repository. You will need the language remapping capability introduced in version 0.5.2, which is currently in the testing repo. To use now, run:

> su -c "yum update transifex-client --enablerepo=*testing"

>   c. [misha at pc transifex] $ tx set --auto-remote https://www.transifex.net/projects/p/fedora-virtualization-guide/
>
> 2. pull the "ru_RU" translation modules:
>   a. [misha at pc transifex] $ tx pull -l ru_RU
>
> 3. use language remapping to push the modules as "ru":
>   a. remap the language by adding the line "lang_map = ru:ru_RU" to the main section of ~/transifex/.tx/config [5]
>   b. [misha at pc transifex] $ tx push --translations -l ru
>
> 4. delete the local files
>
> You may be able to do the whole docs collection at once using
> $ tx set --auto-remote https://www.transifex.net/projects/p/fedora/r/fedora-15-docs/

Hi,
Thank you for this clear explanation.
I've just done that for fr_FR who can be removed when you want (the fr
team could not access it using transifex, no worries about further
translations).

The updated tx client from the fedora repo was not able to download
the whole project, I had to use the hg tree.
