Hello Razi,

the procedure you describe is correct (in addition you should call
lupdate -no-obsolete in the last step), but the problem is that the
translation contexts were not properly preserved and hence that second
call to lupdate drops translation except where it can match them via the
"same text heuristic". While this is often good enough, several
languages will have dropped translations due to this, i.e. translations
which are present in Launchpad and the PO files but missing in the
resulting TS files after running lupdate again.

However, I just pushed a small Python script into the scripts repository
to fix these up and testing this with a few translations seems to work
quite well. But I would really appreciate if you could give it another
try? Maybe we can finally try to make this an almost automatic process
without recreating the above dropped translations manually using
Linguist.

I would also be interested in any changes to the shell scripts that
would help other - I mean specifically you - to work with these scripts
since they have been single-purpose for my personal use until now.

I also just updated the translation templates, i.e. they were 11 texts
in the source code which were not even present on Launchpad. The PO
files themselves are automatically generated by Launchpad and should
only be edited via its web UI or the translation upload functionality.
Hence they could not be correct without me updating the templates...

Best regards,
Adam.
