[SM-I18N] Translation updates and branches

[Hans F. N. <Han...@hi...>]

Just a quick question (that turned into many words):

We translate (at least the plugins) only against the HEAD of SVN and the
updated translations is commited to HEAD. Are they ever back-ported to 
earlier releases? I'm completely fine with not doing so, but this
should be made clear on http://l10n-stats.squirrelmail.org 

    If you plan to contribute translation, only look at the HEAD
    branch - the other branches are historical data.

I'm aware that you can "get copy of latest (the one that was used to
generate HEAD stats) locales cvs by downloading file from data
directory". However, if people only want to translate one or some
plugins, they might as well fetch it from a branch. If they run 1.4.11
they probably look for the translation in the 1.4.11 branch and find
that it's not translated - but at the same time the plugin is
completely translated on HEAD...

Is it only me or are we asking for duplicate work here?

Regards,
Hans

PS! Do we handle the main translation of SM differently - probably
    not. I explicitly sent a translation for 1.4.11 and HEAD, but
    1.5.1 wasn't updated.
