How To Commit Translations via SVN

[Johnny Jazeix]

Hi;

>From https://community.kde.org/Infrastructure/Subversion/2020_Changes,
can you check if you have added your SSH keys on KDE's GitLab at
invent.kde.org ?
Then, it should work without having to provide your account when
checkouting or committing.

Ben added you in the list in
https://invent.kde.org/sysadmin/repo-management/-/commit/a309e8e1eaaf121820365c6cb93a767fd5913dea
(kbiid account).

Cheers,

Johnny

Also there is a lot showing the commands that have failed for me. However the bits in the middle, between getting the account and executing those commands are what I am struggling to find.
