Thanks for that!

I can't run the report.py by myself, wherever I try to run it, I keep getting

Code:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "tool/report.py", line 5, in <module>
    all_lngs.remove(source)
KeyError: 'en_US'

Since I'm a total noob with python (and honestly I hate its syntax), I don't even dare to try to figure out what I'm doing wrong. So, what am I doing wrong?

However, I took a look at the output, and it's pretty much what I expected. Most of the Strings I listed in the announcement are wrongly translated. (There are a few innocent ones, like "OK" or "International" as well). It's probably not a bad idea to generate an informative list of "do-not-translate" properties. However, it will unfortunately be of limited usefulness, because translators do not see the property names on Transifex, only the values. I think the report is very useful and helps to give pointers for manual fixing for "advanced" users. (Update) One more suggestion: leave out empty (=untranslated) strings from the report. As said, they are ok because the base version will be used.

Also, thanks for your offer of the 5.0.0 files, but I'd think that this might lead to even more trouble. I'll just stick with 5.0.1 for the time being. Maybe if I'm feeling adventurous someday, I just try to install 5.0.3. Does a failed update give any information (in the log or so) about *which* files it complained about?
