A lot has changed in the .po file since then. I would suggest checking
out the devel branch and running makemessages again, then maybe merging
any translation matches you have. It might be quicker to start from
scratch with Google Translate, assuming that service supports Finnish.

That is true, we are looking at a localization platform for all
Sourcefabric projects. On the other hand, we want people in the
community to get comfortable with using git and sending pull requests
for other features they have developed, not just localization.

Yes, you can send a pull request for a specific range of commits:

Perhaps it would help to put your custom changes in a separate branch,
and your localization in the devel branch.

Cheers!
