[Koha-translate] Translation for 3.12 using transifex (feedback)

[Mathieu Saby]

Hello Paul and everybody

About Transifex/Pootle :
Maybe Transifex is better on some points, but it is not perfect...

As Pootle is an opensource tool, with active community, why not take 
part in its development, or at least take contact with its developping 
community?

*In my opinion, on a "basic translator" point of view, here is some 
missing features in Pootle : **
*- a way to do an exact search on a string
ex : "avail" will search all strings with words begining with avail
=> hard to find the good string

- a way to do an exact search on a phrase
ex : "big record" will search all strings with "big" or with "record"
=> hard to find the good string

- a way to do an combined search on an english string, a translated 
string, and a filename

Do you have other ideas?

Mathieu
