It took a while for me to figure out that you have to use the automerge script. It might be a good thing to put in the translation-guide...?

I use automerge every time I have finished translating a file or if I see a pot file has changed.
I also have a single-run version of automerge.sh so I can run in only one directory, otherwise I cant merge the specspro/desc/ and specspro/summary/

Best would be to run automerge automatically every time someone updates a new pot file in CVS. That would always keep the po file consistent, but it might be too dangerous.

Hello,

I know that auto uptade of po by pot is too hard to be done, then a script to help was created. :)
The idea of merge script is become easier job of maintainer of the fedora localization, updating *all* .po files when running it. So, we(brazilian team) are running this script periodically(Each localization maintainer can do it) to fix this update .po problem.

Diego,

That's really good that your team is active & running the automerge script periodically, so you guys don't have any issues. But, what about those languages for which localization maintainers are changing frequently. Every time, we have to inform the new language maintainers about this automerge script, which is not a wise solution. So, i am requesting this task for the Fedora Localization Maintainer to do.

Doubt:
There is any problem to do it?

Thanks Ankit for bringing this up.
Imho, instead of the translators doing it, this task can either be
automated or done by the Fedora Translation Project coordinators
(bottomline: centralizing the job) at a specified time so that the
translators are aware whether they are handling older files and can
schedule there tasks accordingly.
