How To Commit Translations via SVN

[Karl Ove Hufthammer]

Hi!

All this shouldn’t be necessary. You shouldn’t have to edit the 
~/.ssh/config at all, and you shouldn’t use a password. And 
local-kde.org isn’t involved (I have never heard of this server).

Does simply running this command work:

svn co svn+ssh://svn@svn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/l10n-support/

?

Then everything should be OK. If not, have you uploaded your (public!) 
SSH key at https://invent.kde.org/-/user_settings/ssh_keys?
