Hello list

I have this doubt. Earlier, i was instructed to send the .PO files themselves. Until then i usually had sent a diff file with all changes. When the language directory doesn?t exists, i usually send the .po file zipped and in the bugtracker comments i usually specify its location.

Can anyone explain to me the right way to do this.

Thanks in advance.

Diff for PO files can be messy to apply as PO files are regenerated (and hence changed) regularly. Note that when applying your patch I had to resolve conflicts, and every conflict means possible loss of translation string changes.

So better send complete PO files. In this case you will be guaranteed, that your changes won't be lost.

When the language directory doesn?t exists, i usually send the .po file zipped and in the bugtracker comments i usually specify its location.

This is correct.

Can anyone explain to me the right way to do this.

See above.
