   @laanwj The last time you created a new resource for 0.10 on Transifex it was a real mess (at least for the german translation) as already translated strings got changed by unknown translators which did more harm than good because they don't know how to properly translate, as there is missing knowledge of our client and where we use strings for example.

   After that I started using checked translations, so that only untranslated or unckecked/unverified translations could be edited by guest translators. Is there a way to KEEP these for 0.11 without the need for me to re-check every single translations by hand?

   I exactly copied the 0.9 translation messages to 0.10 when I created the new resource.

   This was quite involved, I had to write a script for it as there is no way to do so in the interface. If you know a better way to do that, feel free to do so. But if not you'll just have to cope...

   Edit: the other option would be to start with an empty resource, I could just not copy the messages for German if you prefer that.

   is it not possible to link the source i18n file directly over github/transiflex?

   The problem is, that the reviewed tag/flag is not in the translation file but likely just in the Transifex database :-(. @laanwj If the existing translations could be flagged as reviewed after you imported them that (at least for the german translations, which I mainly do) would be great... dunno how.

   Hm, yes that's unfortunate. I don't think that data is clonable through the API. Maybe file a feature request with transifex to fork/clone a resource.

   @laanwj Transifex currently gives an error because of the 0.9.X translation: We have not been able to update the source file for the resource QT Translation 0.9.x of the project bitcoin from the URL https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/raw/0.9.2/src/qt/locale/bitcoin_en.ts.

   I though I fixed that a few days ago by pointing it at 0.9.3. I removed all the branches for non-latest minor releases and it was still fetching from 0.9.2.

    @diapolo I used a new way to copy the translations for 0.11.x, that copies reviewer information as well using https://gist.github.com/laanwj/5c2edf683c68697cf7f6 based on a script by @mapapage Please verify that the settings are correct for the new resource (it currently doesn't accept translations yet).
