[tx-trac] #802: Please do not delete translations just because I updated the .pot file

-----------------------+------------------------
Whenever I update the .pot file for the short Tor user manual [1],
translated strings disappear. It seems that if I update the second string
in the .pot file, Transifex decides to completely remove the second string
in the translated .po file.
I would like to be able to update the .pot file with small things, such as
formatting and better grammar, without giving translators more work. It
would be better if the affected translated strings could be marked as
fuzzy (i.e. in need of review) instead of being deleted completely.

Comment (by glezos):
Transifex detects whether a string changes and keeps it if it's 90% the
same, and converts translations into suggestions. So if you just change
some punctuation or delete a word from a sentence it should keep it. If
you change a sentence a lot, Tx considers it a new string.
The order of the strings is not the best way to do this, since you might
have replaced a sentence with a new one.

Comment (by runa):
Ah, thanks for getting back to me so quickly. Unless you're very used to
using Transifex, that suggestion-box can be hard to notice.
Wouldn't it be better if the translation was left in the box on the right,
and that the background was simply grayed out and had a checkbox saying "I
have reviewed this translation and it's OK" next to it?

Hi runa,
There are some discussions on how to improve lotte and using suggestions
more efficiently is something we are looking on how to improve.
So, I marking this as an enhancement and scheduled for "some time".

This is also related to a request to have the client use something like
``tx push --source --minor``, which will not invalidate translations.
