Hi Rodrigo. Weblate has plenty of Quality checks [1], and 'Mismatched full stop' [2] is one. It always tries to match translations with the source string. Depending on the language, it's not always right, and sometimes you can ignore the alert. When translating, I recommend you follow the structure same as the source string, unless when it doesn't make sense in your language. And for all improvements/fixes you may find for the source string, one advice is to save it for later (after translating the document, chapter, etc.) and then submit everything you found together. And then, after committing your patch, fix the translation because Weblate will mark strings changed for review. Submitting improvements/fixes to the original documents is a fun part of translations. =3D) Regards. 1 - https://docs.weblate.org/en/latest/user/checks.html#quality-checks 2 - https://docs.weblate.org/en/latest/user/checks.html#mismatched-full-stop --=20 Danilo G.
