    I can understand this.  But Then, please do not make separated
project on Pootle at first place when the author isn't thinking about
branching :-<    You could postpone branching on Pootle project until
it is actually needed.

And please announce when translator should use trunk on Pootle for
specific Fulctose activitiy.
For example; if improvement to an activity targetted to 8.2.1 needs
string addition, which Pootle project to use for translation?

   Assuming conflict has now resolved for Calculate, please think about Pippy.

    As I wrote above, the fact would be clear to translators if there
is PO only Fulctose project on Pootle and not in Fulctose0.82.
