translation or at least change something if you have file 100% translated.
At least when I clicked on Estonian (as coordinator of Estonian team I
should have the right to change the file, shouldn't I?) and then "Translate
now" I did get just statistics and a bar with entries "Source string" and
"Translation" but not the strings themselves. And more, nor "Save all"
neither "Save and Exit" button didn't do anything, only way to go back was
to click " I18N
(Epoll)<http://www.transifex.net/projects/p/epoll/resource/I18N/>"
link up there. Of course, I could choose "View strings online" and then look
at them but there was no chance to change them neither...
