[Qgis-community-team] Transifex and old translations

[Werner Macho]

Uhmmm ..
Bad .. thats very bad ..
But IIRC that was one of the reasons I initially skipped using
transifex for the GUI (because the GUI is just too important)

Hope we will find a solution so that we can switch GUI translation too ..

kind regards
Werner
