Automatic updates of localized versions

[pavelevap]

Automatic updates works well for English version, but there are some problems for localized versions.

As soon as 3.8.1 was released, all installations (including localized) were automatically updated to original English version. And translators have two wrong options:

• Release localized package for 3.8.1. But in this case there will be yellow message displayed to inform about new update. So, users have to update once again to latest localized version through Dashboard - Updates menu. Can we have also automatic updates for localized versions? Only changed source files + language files and not the whole package?

• Do not release localized package for 3.8.1 to not bothering users with update message. But this solution is problem for users updating from 3.7.x (and older), because they will not get latest language files (but only English version).

The plan is to get rid of localized packages. I thought we already have a ticket for this, seems like not.

Yes, some users on support forums are indeed confused by these double updates.

I hope to have all of this fixed during the 4.0 cycle. Might be before 3.9.1, might not.
