# Why the BuddyPress projects never keeps past translation…

Why the BuddyPress projects never keeps past translation files, at last previous
relesead versions? I just found out that the available files in GlotPressGlotPress
GlotPress is the translation management software that powers [Translate.WordPress.org](http://translate.wordpress.org).
More information is available at [glotpress.org](http://glotpress.org/). are for
1.6, while a lot of people are using 1.5.x.(that’s the version availabel in pluginPlugin
A plugin is a piece of software containing a group of functions that can be added
to a WordPress website. They can extend functionality or add new features to your
WordPress websites. WordPress plugins are written in the PHP programming language
and integrate seamlessly with WordPress. These can be free in the WordPress.org 
Plugin Directory [https://wordpress.org/plugins/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/)
or can be cost-based plugin from a third-party. directory as well). I used to keep
the translation in my site but now that I’m running the br.buddypress seemed right
to lead people to download files in Glot instead. Am I missing something?!

    would need to be re-translated for 1.5 based on a simple PO/MO export and re-import.

       i.e. 1.6 and beyond?! Now that 1.6 are about to be released there is no need
       to worry about the past ones indeed.
