Hi Diego,

In case of unfinished work at the deadline of the translation freeze, you 
can download the files from transifex and commit them to subversion so at 
least the work that has been done so far will be included in the release.

However, that said, I am puzzled a bit by what you wrote:

"I see in the svn file that the translation is finished but it is 
Mandriva's version."

If you use Mageia's version from svn as a basis for transifex, then this 
shouldn't be possible. Transifex would then also show a complete 
translation in line with the svn version. How did you start translating 
with transifex? Did you start without any files, or did you upload .po 
files from svn? And if so, from Mandriva svn or from Mageia's svn? Only 
the last way is the correct way to ensure you are translating the correct 
files and to minimise the amount of translation work to be done as for 
most projects 80% or more of the existing translations are up to date.

I hope this helps.

Kind regards,

Remmy
