i18n push after revising many merge-related messages?
In this morning's UX public conversation, @clenneville was asked about negative outcomes from recent projects. I described a concern that @pedroms and I had when we were revising ALL of the messages in the merge request widget - that we were about to invalidate a set of frequently-viewed strings in translations of GitLab. @danmh asked that I ping him and @hdelalic about the work we did. Dan's questions:
- How might we inform the translation community about important changes that need urgent attention?
- How might we incentivise changes that are important and need attention?
