As announced on https://kde.org/announcements/gear/24.08.2/, KDE Gear
version 24.08.2 was released today. And with that, a new version of
Lokalize.
There’s a great reason to update: Thanks to the excellent work of Finley
Watson, the diff view comparing the ‘previous’ and current version of a
source string can now properly handle changes in message context strings
(msgctxt). This makes it easier to identify what has changed (or not
changed) in the English string and apply the corresponding change in the
translation.
I’ve attached a screenshot showing the diff view for a string where the
only change is in the message context. In the previous version of
Lokalize, the diff view was very confusing. With this update, the diff
operation is performed separately on the msgctxt and the msgid strings,
with the two shown on separate lines, making it much easier to see what
has changed.
