Lock file option in Transifex

Do not forget to unlock the translation when you are done with your work.

Do I still need to escape apostrophes in the localized strings?

No. Although previously all apostrophes had to be escaped by using a backslash character, you no longer need to do this. Our tools will now perform all the necessary replacements in the background so just enter a correct literal string.

• Current version: Barre d'emplacement des éléments de l'éditeur

Transifex hangs on uploading a localized file

Sometimes when a file is malformed or uses an incorrect encoding, the upload may not succeed — it will hang without a descriptive error message. If this happens please check the following:

• Whether the file is correctly encoded.
  All CKEditor files are UTF-8 encoded. ANSI files will be rejected.
• Whether the file does not contain BOM.
• Whether the file structure was not altered in any way.

  You can run msgfmt -c on the file to check its correctness before you attempt to upload it.
