Ahh, OK, that does sound like a meaningful difference that may make the workflow we use for in-code strings not applicable for the documentation l10n project. As I said already, I am not married to the "gitman-l10n at Documentation/po" approach at all, and if the layout you brought up to turn the containment relationship the other way around works better, that is perfectly fine by me.

Thanks.
