Hi Chistian,

As I requested earlier, please let me upload packages with the reviewed
English templates first. This way, I can at the same time review the
review work as I integrate them in each package, which will be a time
saver. I believe I can finish the task this week-end.

Also, since many strings are similar (with the exception of Cinder vs
Quantum vs Heat for example, in the templates), I thought it would be a
good idea to do some variable replaces, so that we have the exact same
strings. later on, we could merge all TEMPLATES.pot into a single file,
ask translators to do their work on a single .po file, then let gettext
remove not needed strings on every package. I'm not sure I'm explaining
well what I want to do here... If you understood, do you think it's a
good plan?
