This would read better if it was everything between "the globe" and "so having" was replaced with a comma (so …

Change "strings of this" to "strings for this" so it reads better

I'd rephrase this as "translating Pidgin and has notified the Pidgin Developers" so that it sounds better.

Shouldn't these two paragraphs be not indented?

I'd rephrase this as "that no strings will be added or changed" to make this read a little more clearly.

  2. I'll need help from senior Pidgin project members specially on the How translations go from Transifex to Pidgin section of the Internationalization page.

    Particularly I'm looking for feedback here as to what the wording should be, since I believe that even if notifying translators about an upcoming Pidgin release I don't think we've been following that guideline lately, and I don't know if we necessarily want to and this was just an old guideline that stopped being followed.

    1. Sort of disregard this comment, since I noticed that the string freeze is also detailed in the release-process page so I'll just link to it in the Internationalization page so that we follow DRY.

    This would read better if it was everything between "the globe" and "so having" was replaced with a comma (so "across the globe, so having...")

    Shouldn't these two paragraphs be not indented?

    1. I left them indented because both paragraphs are related to the item "Translation updates for each language are accepted only from its current translator, except when[...]". The first paragraph is the explanation of why this is handled this way and the second one is providing a way to contact the appropiate team in case someone thinks one of the items under "except when" is being met.

    2. How are they presented when rendered?

    3. This is how it looks with the paragraphs indented:

      This is how it looks without the paragraphs indented:

    4. Okay, this makes much more sense. Dropping the issue, I think we're good to merge here.
