I'd say to go with the automatic way. Let's have in mind here that this feature is probably only relevant to the Release Notes. Also, another thing to have in mind is that translators like 100% translations. So, in most cases the above would be useful to sort the file so that important translations are made ASAP. A plan would be to diff and count the character changes for each string and sort the messages in the PO file wrt to the number of diffs. A plus would be a checkbox to enable "smart" diffs (lower the weight of punctuation diffs for example). > Only if the writer did a commit for every change with a keyword (minor, > major, etc.) could we get a granular, per-msgid stream of the type of > change.

Even the first suggestion is probably a bit too special-purpose. Let's just make one step at a time. If we see we need such a system, we can plug it in the existing one. Definitely sounds like a do-able WUI tool. -d PS: Glad to see some people understand the pain a translator is going through... :) > We're likely to only get to be so granular. > > Would that level of detail be useful?
