Hi all,

Just to clarify this issue.

Any commits to current Transifex is not used in the svn for Xfce.

The future plans for Xfce is to do following:

1.   Migration from svn to git.
2.   Transifex is being considered to be future platform for translations.

The current Transifex repo is not managed by Xfce!
