Fwd: How to proceed with Dutch translation of bugzulla5.2

[Dave Miller]

Hi Herman!

Thanks for working on a translation! 

The way Bugzilla does version numbering is that when you have X.Y, and Y is an odd number, that is a development branch and not considered a release version. So 5.3.x is just the development branch. In a special case THIS time, 5.3 is also semi-abandoned, because we're working on bringing home a fork of Bugzilla that Mozilla made several years ago and that is currently known as 5.9.x and is our current active development branch, and will eventually be released as Bugzilla 6.0.

In my opinion, continuing to work on a translation for 5.2 would be the place to direct your efforts right now. 6.0, while getting closer to release, is probably going to change how it does localization before release time, so I would hold off on working on that one just yet. 

We'll have a 5.2.1 release really soon now, and that would be a good place to get your translation linked up for end users. There won't be a lot of L10n changes between 5.2 and 5.2.1 but there will be a few. Checking out the 5.2 branch from GitHub and watching for template changes in the incoming commits as you update would be how to keep up with that.
