Thanks Petr!

Actually, having the strings updated on Transifex on a regular basis makes
it (IMHO) more manageable for translators to update the translations even
before a string freeze. Translating a dozen strings per week is lighter
than a mere 339 strings.
I also don't know if pulls from Transifex or push from your side has an
effect of keeping memory (in suggestions) of past or close enough strings
from the past for small modifications.

Another comment/request, I don't know given my zero-level Python-fu: would
it be possible to break down the huge __doc__ strings in plugins into
smaller parts, as a small modification would impact a smaller strings,
easing maintenance instead of trying to track the one character
modification in a 2000 chars text.

Does Python support concatenations of __doc___ strings?

Regards,

J.
