Semi-mechanizing the DTTP translations

[Pierre Slamich]

Hey,
We had the same problem initially for French. As noted on the pad, we went
through mass refactoring using Regular Expressions and such, and we're a
throusand strings away now :-P
Seriously: a lot of us were skeptical, but with some cleanup (you'll
quickly find patterns when it comes to mistakes), it will prove useful.
For the rest, you'll have snippets in German that you'll be able to reuse.


Out of curiosity, could you share part of the result so far ?
If you can read French, there's a list of common mistakes we corrected (
http://lite.framapad.org/p/ddtpUbuntu). As we spotted more common mistakes,
we reuploaded the file in the bogus project after quick find and replace
all.
