I can't imagine the process is so simple. The overwritten
translations were probably on translate.sugarlabs.org. <br>
<br>
Sugar developers need to determine which Pootle files to install in
an image. Each individual Sugar activity has an independent set of
translations which needs to be updated into a new version of the
Activity.<br>
<br>
As Sugar, we need a process to handle this. I strongly believe it is
a mistake to do perform localization directly on the Pootle server.
It would be better <br>
to do the localization at the locale and verify it by use by the
native language speakers (primary school children). Update for
activities is to submit new po <br>
files in an updated version of the acitivity (version += 1). This
process is under git version control. These updates, once vetted,
can be updated on translate.sugarlabs.org. On a new Sugar release,
OLPC or someone determines which activities and which versions of
those activities to include in the image.<br>
