Well, I think I'd prefer to do it the other way, fix it in Pootle
first (because there are numerous small translatable string fixes
related to erroneous prior msgmerges) and I need to review the headers
there anyway.
I've started an effort to review both versions of the PO file with
Translate Toolkit tools. I will play close attention to the Language
issue in the header that you pointed out, which I can trace back to a
human error (mistaken assumption) in the initial manual upload
process. I'm also going to be paying careful attention to the
translator credits in the top section of the header.
Since I will be doing this anyway, I think it might be best have you
take a close look at the SVN commits as a second set of eyes. This
also allows you to focus on other developer tasks.
Does that work for you?
