How to sync translations?

RT Users

I have my own spanish translation (which i uploaded today in launchpad). It’s
about 99% complete. But today i upgraded to 4.4.1 and lost my changes (i did
backup it first).

What method should i use to put my file back and know which new lines need
translating, if any? Are all new strings at the bottom of the file?

I tried using diff but since the line numbers in the comments changed it
shows up too many changes. Perhaps some script-fu to ignore all lines with
comments?

Looks like there were failures importing your changes:
https://translations.launchpad.net/rt/4.4/+imports
Namely, line 5997 has an extra " at end of line.

Fix those up and re-upload. Once that imports, you can export the
translations (see below) and look for new untranslated strings.

The .po file is sorted alphabetically.

If you export the translations from Launchpad as a tarball from
https://translations.launchpad.net/rt/4.4/+export , it will email you a
link. Pass that link to:

devel/tools/rt-message-catalog rosetta the-url-from-email-here

…and it will merge in the translations from Launchpad into your local
share/po/*.po files, preferring translations from launchpad but leaving
any new local translations.

OK, i fixed the unterminated string (had an extra double quote at the end)
and reuploaded.

I will try that script as soon as my file imports. I spent about 3 hours
yesterday morning translating almost everything and was going to basically
restart from scratch in the new .po file. Also, since there are some
translations i don’t quite agree with (partly because there are many spanish
variations between our countries) i want my modifications to remain for
already existing strings.

Also, i have seen some parts in RT that aren’t translatable, and even some
parts that expect a translation but the original string doesn’t exist so it
looks in the web browser as “loc(Take)” for example. Do i report these on
RT’s own RT instance?
