I have fixed most of the issues myself, but some issues need review by the translation teams, if you have the time. You can download an archive of the remainining issues at: http://www.foramnagaidhlig.net/internal/widelands/po_validation.zip Unzip and search your file system for your language code. You will get a list of po files that you can open in a text editor or in Virtaal - look for (pofilter) comments in them. You can fix the issues directly in the files and then upload the fixed files to Transifex. We also have an issue with the definition of plural forms for Russian and Turkish. I am not sure what the correct rule would be and how Transifex handles those, so I have left them alone for now. Our list of unsolved bugs is shrinking, so we should have a release candidate for Build 19 in a few weeks. Thanks for translating, GunChleoc Busy indexing nil values Top Quote

There are some, where the differences are intentional, e.g. "!" at the end of imperative sentences, and capitalisation of production programs (they go to the start of the sentence for hu). Is it possible to mark them as such? Top Quote

I usually ignore all the `startpunc`, `endpunc`, and `startcaps` checks as those are nearly all false-positives for my language. To download the checks, either clone the whole repo, or install a browser extension that allows downloading a single directory from a repo (I can recommend Refined GitHub) – annoyingly GitHub does not support this natively.

So the URL for a language is: https://download-directory.github.io/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fwidelands%2Fwidelands-translation-reports%2Ftree%2Fmaster%2Ftranslators%2F<lang> Top Quote

Additionally, all our Transifex sub-projects now use one shared glossary, so that the glossary for the main project is also available when translating add-ons. Top Quote

While I confirmed with an internet researchg that the handling in german (with a space in front of the ellipsis) is correct I am not sure if the handling in the source (without space) is correct.

In English you always put the ellipsis directly after the word, without a space… And in German (also Low German), the ellipsis is separated from the word with a space … like this. Unless you're indicating a half-finished word in which case the space is omitted, like th…is Top Quote
