Which is translation workflow?

[rvasin]

Hi,

I am from C++/Delphi/Java background. I am trying to teach my kid to do programming with Colobot. He does not know English well to read docs in English. There is a Russian translation. But it seems it's translated in 70%. Therefore I am planning to update Russian translation files. I know how to do it: 
I need to update ru.po and other files and put Russian text into msgstr "" 
During the past several years I have been using Svn (and CVS before that). So I have no exprience with Git and GitHub.
Could you please explain which should be translator's workflow (procedure)?


I have already installed GitHub desktop.
Then I selected: https://github.com/colobot/colobot-data
Selected dev branch. 
Then I pressed Clone or Download button.
Then Open in Desktop.

So right now on my desktop I have colobot-data. I opened dev branch.

What's next? I see two possible variants:

Variant 1:

I create a new branch like: russian-translation-update1
then then edit files in this branch. 
then commit.
then send Poll request to merge russian-translation-update1 with dev branch.

Variant 2:

or should I modify files directly in dev branch? 
then commit.
then should I send any Poll requests? Or it's not needed.

Thank you in advance for any help with this topic.
