Re: [Zabbix-translators] single translation Project for all zabbix version ?

[Adail H. <the...@gm...>]

I understand your vision point... but your sugestion will give a lot of
work for translators... and... I never will know right what I are
translating...
Now many times is very dificult to understand what I are translating (the
file name many times is not easy to understand what is... because can be a
"generic" file).

For PT-BR all translations is done ... but when you "merge" this... I will
need to re-check everything... and this use a lot of time.

My Sugestion will solve the primary problem: current version 100%
translated. And... for consequence... the "old" versions will adapt to
current terminology...

Many times... the translation terms are changed between years...
