Hi,

In our current PO/FOT files, we have the project name in the header:

msgid ""
msgstr ""
"Project-Id-Version: LedgerSMB\n"
"Report-Msgid-Bugs-To: ..hidden..\n"
"POT-Creation-Date: 2016-03-06 16:28+0000\n"
"PO-Revision-Date: 2016-02-05 08:15+0000\n"

The gettext manual (https://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/html_node/Header-Entry.html) documents that the line

"Project-Id-Version: LedgerSMB\n"

Should actually have been

"Project-Id-Version: LedgerSMB <VERSION>\n"

Since our release process has a high degree of automation, we could actually adjust this quite easily. Do we want to make a change so that we distribute the translations with full version indicator? In that case the line above would become as below for 1.4.26-rc2:

"Project-Id-Version: LedgerSMB 1.4.26-rc2\n"

Bye,

Erik.
