[Koha-translate] Translation Workflow

[Katrin Fischer]

Hi Sonia,

ideally the workflow should be like this:

For the monthly maintenance releases:

- String freeze with update of the po files around 15th
- Release with the updated po files from Pootle around 22nd

Pulling the latest version of the files from 
translate.koha-community.org is one of the last tasks in the release 
process. All that you will have changed until that moment will be 
included in the release.

For new releases:

The Release Manager will announce a schedule including Feature freeze 
and String Freeze date some time before the release date. The po files 
for a new version are created from current files of the last release. So 
18.05 will be based on the files from 17.11 - including the changes from 
all maintenance releases up to that point. Strings unchanged don't have 
to be retranslated, but there are always new strings and strings marked 
'fuzzy' that require you to check, if the existing translation is still 
correct.

I am not sure about the po files for the manual, I think Jonathan was 
working on automating it, but you might want to check with him.

Hope that helps!

Katrin
