In the admin, some locales use the message id
"Thanks for spending some quality time with the '''web''' site today."
and others use
"Thanks for spending some quality time with the '''Web''' site today."
Using `ack` to count the number of occurrences:
{{{
django/contrib/admin/locale$ ack -c -h -I "the web site today"
31
django/contrib/admin/locale$ ack -c -h -I "the Web site today"
65
}}}
If I understand things correctly, if the message id with lowercase "web"
is used, all translations based on the uppercase variant cannot be found,
and vice versa?

Comment:
Specifically, locale `de` used to use '''Web''' up to Django 3.2 whereas
Django 4.0 uses '''web''', but I think that this is a generic issue.

Comment:
We don't update locales without any new translated strings that's why for
some languages you can still find `web` instead of `Web`. As far as I'm
aware this doesn't cause extra issues because translations would be
missing anyway.

Comment (by Claude Paroz):
I confirm the diagnostic. Updating all po files even when no translations
have been added/fixed on Transifex would give huge diffs/commits
(including binary .mo files) without any added value. So when you see
occurrences of `Web`, that means that translators didn't do their job (on
time) :-)
