Hi Tim,

Thanks, it works and yes we indeed have to be very carefull. Rather many
translated sentences were indeed missing in action.. So I did not commit
all the changes, but I first used another very usefull -f git statement
instead:
git checkout manual_en_v1.8 -f

Before tx pull I had 111 translated sentences in features.po afterwards I
had only 19 translated sentences left, which was indeed the same amount as
on transifex.
Mind you this was only in one file.. So it seems we are losing rather a lot
of translation when uploading files to transifex.
I think it is good advice to first retrieve 1 file at a time from transifex
(only fully translated files).

Brilliant argument -f.

I thought it was needed in tx pull statement because of the last line in
.gitignore:
i18n/*. But when I temporarily removed it it still was necessary.

Regards,
Diethard.
