<p>I'm doing some work on refactoring controller methods, to bring them into line with standard rails naming (i.e. new/create/edit/update/show/index instead of view, list etc).</p>

<p>Part of this involves renaming translation keys, e.g. <code>diary_entry.view.xxx</code> becomes <code>diary_entry.show.xxx</code>. This means that all the translations are lost, and translators have to re-translation strings that haven't actually changed.</p>

<p>What is the best approach for dealing with this? Can we get translatewiki to handle this situation? Should we add the new translation keys first, to allow translators to copy+paste themselves? Do we just push on and let the translators deal with it? Or something else?</p>

<p>I'd definitely prefer the first - we should be able to fix the translation keys without losing any translations or asking the translators to do make-work. But I don't know what's practical.</p>
