Alexander is correct; the source text cannot and should not be changed 
directly in Zanata. 

in order to update the source (English) text in Zanata, it needs to be 
pushed to Zanata from the source code. 

generally, we are not updating anything in Zanata for 3.5 anymore, since 
we are not planning any additional translation cycles for ovirt 3.5; 
however, since we are planning out-of-cycle possible updates for the German 
and Italian translation as an exception for 3.5, it *may* also involve 
pushing the updated source text to Zanata as part of the process, but this 
will not happen any time soon, to my understanding. 

I am not sure if you were trying to pull the latest translations from Zanata 
and then build ovirt-engine-3.5, or simply tried to build ovirt-engine-3.5 
as is; 
if you were trying to build ovirt-engine-3.5 as-is and failed, that's bad - 
we need to fix that ASAP (however, I am pretty sure that we would have been 
notified about this issue already from jenkins / other people / etc.). 
I recommend to not attempt pulling the translations from Zanata yourself, 
as the pull itself is not enough - need to move some files around, run a few 
clean-up scripts, etc. If you still want to pull the translations yourself, 
and you are encountering problems as the ones you mentioned above - simply 
remove/"fix" the problematic translations *locally on the .properties files 
that you pulled from Zanata - NOT in Zanata itself*.
