Rosetta is really setup with translators in mind, which is great because it can get more people involved in helping with translations, but it is a bit rough at the edges for a maintainer. Here is a small Perl script I made for downloading all .PO files from Rosetta for a given project:  <A HREF="http://arg0.net/users/vgough/rosetta-download.pl">http://arg0.net/users/vgough/rosetta-download.pl</A> My current workflow is to keep the .po translation files stored within revision control on my system along with the source code for the project.  Before releases, I can download the .po files and import them as a new vendor branch, which allows me to track changes made through Rosetta's interface (so I can examine them for errors) vs. changes I've made locally (previous fixes to adjust newlines, space/tab formatting, and printf characters).  This means that Rosetta does not contain the final .po files which will ship, and in fact may contain .po files with serious errors (like printf formatting characters missing or incorrect). I have tried uploading fixed .po files into rosetta, but the results are a bit strange.  After uploading, it appeared that nothing had happened, but now (a few hours later) when I download, I see lots of message strings have been added which are commented out with "#~".  In a single .po file, diff reports 181 lines different from what I uploaded to what I pulled back down.  I am listed as the last contributor for that file, so there should be no differences at all. regards, Valient </BODY> </HTML>
