To: <mutlaqja@ikarustech.com>, <kde-i18n-doc@kde.org>
Hi Jasem,
please stop creating huge translation units as the one at the end of
this message. It's difficult to translate or to spot a change that
you'll make in them in the future.
Recently it popped up as fuzzy during my translation session, and I
don't know what you've changed there. It could be a text or it could be
html formatting or it could be just a missing space somewhere. In either
case I need to read through all of its 5326 letters to find that out.
That slows down translation considerably.
I suggest to break such huge units to several smaller ones, and don't
overdo with including too much html formatting tags in them.
Cheers
Łukasz
