imagico name changes

[Klumbumbus]

All the imagico layer names (72) were ​shortened in ELI. Basically " OSM images for mapping" was removed in every name. Regarding JOSM wee need to decide:

Keep our names and feed the ImageryCompareIgnores list or change the names too. I'd prefer the second, but the questions are:

• Is there a way we can somehow adjust the translations, so not all the 72 translations get lost in all the languages where they are already translated?
• (Is there an easier way than editing every wiki page manually?)

Yes. We can download the strings from current translation, replace the texts and reupload the files. Launchpad will take care of other changes inbetween (there is an "downloaded at" text in the files for reference), so only the imagico changes will have an effect.

(Is there an easier way than editing every wiki page manually?)

I'm not aware of any proper way. I can replace them with SQL queries, but that does not cause a new version and is probably not a good idea.

A WWW::Mechanize based script (perl or python) could be less work than manual edits - it could be a prototype for "change many pages at once" task.

How to proceed?

[Klumbumbus]

I don't know and atm I don't really have time to do larger work on this topic like adopting all the wiki pages and downloading and uploading po files :(

I'll try to fix this at the weekend.

Wiki changed (had to trick the Spamfilter for some pages :-)

Great.
