Yes, Peiying will give next steps once she returns from PTO.

We're in the process of consolidating variants where unnecessary. We've successfully done this with Bengali, and are working on doing it for Spanish. I think the best treatment for *fr-CA* is to change the locale code to *fr* so that the wider French community can localize it.

> No, Pontoon will carry them over from the source file. When you add new strings, you only add them to en-US, and Pontoon will write them (with comments) when there's a new translation available.

> One thing that you should consider: the history will get noisy ([example](https://github.com/mozilla/blurts-server/commits/master)). Some projects don't want that, and make Pontoon commit in a branch. That means that updates on trunk are not exposed immediately for translation, and that developers need to manually merge the branch to master (back and forward).
