[Qgis-tr] how to copy translation from 2.99 (transifex) to 2.18 (ts on github)

[Stefano Campus]

I found an artisanal solution:
1) I create a private transifex project
2) I load as source the 2.18 English version, downloaded from
https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/tree/release-2_18/i18n\qgis_en.ts
3) I impose Italian as translation language and I upload to this private
transifex project the qgis_it.ts downloaded from the current official
transifex.

at this point I see that on 18238 strings, 4274 have to be translated .

what happens is that for untranslated strings, in the "history" section
there is the proposal translation that comes from 2.99.

what I do is clicking on "use this" and save.

slow and boring, but it works.

when I'll finish (in a hurry because a free personal project in transifex
lasts a maximum of 15 days) I'll export from transifex the .ts and make the
pull request for the branch 2.18.
in this way the common translations between 2.18 and 2.99 will be
homogeneous.

it is not an elegant solution but hope this helps
:-)
