Hi,

I agree with you 100%. Since this is volunteer job, it is natural to  
expect that translator does not have time to checks pot/po corelations  
every day. Result is dicrepancy in line numbers, and I am not clear as  
what effect it will have on final package.

If auto uptade of po by pot is not possible, I would suggest that one more  
column should be added to individual languages status pages. That column  
will represent current POT line numbers.

Also, one more row to overal i18n page, depicting total line number. I  
think that should not be a hard task, just to add a scipt (orsomething)  
that will go through all POT files.

Best regards
