I think using a batch of commits instead of one big commit is generally a good idea because the diff is easier to read/merge. What makes it hard to track is when the space changes are made in larger timespan as they would be harder to ignore them or need more manual intervention. > If there is any way I or other committers can make this easier for > translators, please post on the -doc mailing list or to me > invididually. One thing I would recommend is to separate the contents that do not need translation (e.g. tags, entities, etc.) and contents that needs translation. This way, these contents would serve as a positioning blocks when merging from upstream (English). > We are also trying to modernize the translation process, and > automate some of the work that translators are currently forced to > do. Anyone who would like to help with that is welcome. That would be great! How can we help, or is there some kind of TODO list?
