Hi, David.
I'll write here about some problems and ideas, not of them refering your last updates.
1. Improved diff-tool sometimes is confusing. It's especially when looking at string where was changing only order of words. I would rather prefer to have a switch for disabling this diff-tool and looking at old interface.
2. Sometimes when translating or looking at submitted translations i found strings, that are outdated, or incorrectly translated. But some of them are to huge to translate them immediately, so i wish just mark it as outdated to return to it later. Is it possible, to create flag for marking string outdated in translator? (only for green strings) Opportunely found, that "mark as up-to-date" string is not translatable).
3. Often, when loking at submited translaions i have to unstage a lot of strings. (It's much better to commit 70 good strings and unstage 30 bad, than describe in comment wich 30 are translated badly and reject all 100 strings). I'll be verythankful if it could be maked with ajax, without waiting for page reload. It does not matter, if it can be made on translator page or on stage page.
4. As a one more improvement (needed if enabling ajax for unstage action on stage page, but not in translator), i would prefer to move from stage page by double-clicking on translated string to translator, containing just this strings, or containing all staged strings, but focused on clicked.
5. More then month ago i've written to "translation@moodle.org" with question about creating two branches (children languages) for russian language (RU_UNIVERSITY and RU_SCHOOL) but still does not have any reply. Is this email actve?
6. One of our enthusiast have made translation of core_moodle.org strings more than month ago, but we these strings still does not appear to moodle.org site. How often does langpacks updates there? Is there any way to force our langpack update? I hope russing interface helps us enlarge russian comunity. On the other hand, if updates are made so irregulary, we would not have ability to quickly fix translation errors, found after langpack update.
