[QGIS-Developer] Translation state of master

[Borys Jurgiel]

Thanks Andreas for raising this problem.

Werner, I'd say it more clearly: since we started using Transifex, the 
translations are stuck there, and only rarely they land in qit. Last time it 
was in June 2016 in QGIS 2.16, so QGIS 2.18 and 3.0 still contain the 2.16 
translations.

I still don't understand why we keep the translations away from QGIS, but what 
about pulling them to master asap, so early testers have a chance to find 
mistakes? 

I believe it's not only Polish problem that Transifex introduced tons of 
embarrassing mistakes and disinformations. People are now translating without 
seeing the context, so the quality of translation in Transifex is ridiculous 
(subjects swapped with predicates and attributes - say 'layer style' with 
'style layer', a raster confused with a net etc). I guess we should give it as 
long testing period before the release as possible...

Regards,
Borys
