[Alberto Passalacqua <alberto.passalacqua@xxxxxx>]

Hello,
it's the first time I cooperate with the translation of a distribution,
so I'm not expert in the field. However, the planning of translations
seems lacking to me. 

During the official translation period we had changes to .po files which
made us translate or check strings again due to unexpected changes, with
a significant lack of time for translators.

After string freeze, I may understand the changes to release-notes, but
we had changes mainly to zypper, zypp, and, in minor measure to
other .po files.

Now an almost completely untranslated .po file appears, while feature
and string freezes are passed.

Why isn't a better planning in translation done to avoid repetitive
work? It would be enough to set a hard string freeze one month or so
before the translation deadline and to make developers absolutely
respect it (27 strings changed in release notes!) so to give time to
translators to translate strings and proofread only once.

I hope this will be seriously considered for the next openSUSE release.

With kind regards,
Alberto
