The developers use some automated gettext tools on all locales but en-US that sorts all strings in alphabetical order. Every time I work on my localization of the site, I start by doing: create backup + svn update + apply backup + svn commit to revert those changes. Same is true for addons.mozilla.org l10n.

We are using MozillaTranslator, and for some reasons, one day it stated producing files in another order. We've tried to downgrade the tool, and even recreate the database, but it didn't solve the problem, and we are no stuck with massive file changes due to another order requirements only. Here is my vote for new l10n tools, with no Java involved. In fact, we didn’t even changed a localization tool.

Both tools are equally to blame here. Actually, in this case it’s probably MT and translate toolkit making up different things, which is why things blow up this bad.

We at nl-NL don’t use Mozilla Translator for this reason, and we’ve actually spent a lot of time undoing the changes in the messed-up DTD files from the time when Mozilla Translator was being used. ~Grauw I agree a 100%.
