[Qt-l10n] [Development] Using Transifex for handling Qt localization?

[Gábor Garami]

Dear Dimitris,

Sorry for late response, but I am quite busy in these weeks. I will check
it back again, but the problem was I tried to upload linguist_hu.ts of the
Qt 4.7 project (it is fully translated) and it becomes something 40-60%
translated, not all existing translation picked up from the file. I tried
all way what Transifex provides (both CLI client and web interface too),
but i couldn't reach to take all existing translation. I tried with
qt_hu.ts too and the result is even worse. I do not know what was the
problem as I do not know how Transifex works, but TS file importer is
something non-working thing as I experienced. I dunno the file was too big,
or the UTF8 encoding handling is wrong - I dunno. But you can test it
importing these files from Qt source. I am sure these files follows TS file
specification, so if they are not importing very correctly, then the TS
importer is not ready to use.

Regards,

Garami Gábor
