Re: [project-open-localization] What happens when you reimportXML-catalogue files?

[Euro T. S.L. - M. M. M. <m.m...@eu...>]

Hello Frank,

thanks for your detailed explanation. I was thinking about another 
thing, but I guess the bottom line is the same.

My current 3.4-install was created half a year ago. I guess that the 
catalogue files are not coincident with the ones that we have now in the 
L10n-server, because new messages have been added and internationalized 
(new packages, new UI implementations).

Now I have two choices:

1. To upload my catalogue files as they are, so that you can place them 
in their locations at OS-level and import them. My concern: will be the 
new messages from the L10n-server be deleted by this "brute force" 
overwriting...?

2. To download the catalogue files from the L10n-server, import them and 
hope my pre-existing translations won't be overwritten by the texts from 
the L10n server.

So, right, what I want to do is merge files, but keep my local 
translation and add the new messages (keys) to my install (or the other 
way round: replace the translations in the L10n server with my 
translations, but without destroying the new messages, because my 
exported catalogue files probably won't contain all the keys).

Does it sound too convoluted?

Best,

Michael
