Yup, it's finally finished. All of it. The whole file, including the part that went missing: 4412 strings! That's a nearly 800 KB text file. I think this might be the largest single PO file I've translated.

I'm also going to log a comprehensive bug report on the quality of the strings in etoys.po. Hopefully, that will help translation in the future. There were persistent problems with split strings, lack of placeholders, use of multiple backslashes for interface spacing, line-breaks and something peculiar I couldn't work out, inconsistent capitalization, a severe lack of initial capital letters and final punctuation, missing articles, and lack of context, nevermind a lot of typos and grammatic errors.

I've uploaded the completed translation onto Pootle (overwrite). I tried to commit it, but got the error:

> Failed to commit file: [GIT] pull failed (['git', '--git-dir', '/var/lib/pootle/checkouts/etoys/.git', 'pull']): error: Entry 'Content.revision' not uptodate. Cannot merge.

Looks like the etoys.pot file has been updated. Sayamindu, would you please sort that out, if you have time?

Also, can I get a RSS feed for changes to this file from Pootle, or do I need to get one from the eToys repo? (If so, where is it, please?)

I hope this translation makes it onto XOs soon. :)
