Bonjour,

Hi,

we've received an updated PO file for Dia on the Dia mailing list: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/dia-list/2012-May/msg00015.html

I've had a quick look at the thread on your list and I've read that people have been told to work directly on po the files from the git repository. This is the wrong procedure as it leads to exactly the situation we're in at the moment.

GNOME modules (as well as a few modules from outside GNOME) use Damned lies to handle the translation workflow. This way we can coordinate our efforts and avoid contributors doing the same work twice (and the subsequent merge process).

This is not a serious issue now, but could you please inform the people on your list about the correct procedure and point them to http://l10n.gnome.org/ to avoid further mistakes?

Could you review the changes and push it to the git repository? If there are problems, please get back to me or Manu.

As you can see on http://l10n.gnome.org/vertimus/797/131/100 I had reserved and I was working on the French translation. I'll handle the merge.

Thanks for forwarding the contribution.
