Hi,

Just of curiosity, a couple of questions.

1. What was the reason to choose unsustainable format that is not  
recognized by the existing toolchains (lang)?
2. Consider someone decided to change something on a webpage. How can we  
(translators) know about the changes (Manually parse svn diffs, copy and  
paste diffs from PHP page? What about fuzzy matches?) ?

Thanks in advance for your answers.

Best regards,
Yuri

P.S. Written when struggling to realize where to place the new strings  
 from http://www.mageia.org/langs/report.php
Thinking about left this without translation in the future.
