Good question Fernando.

In this case you need to pass for all sentences (looking the Automatic
Translation tab) and if it finds a 100/100 match in similarity, just
copy it and save.  If it doesn't match 100/100, you need to revise the
string and fix what changed from Docbook to Hugo/Asciidoctor.

But that's not just for documents that weren't committed, if you plan to
continue updating/translating the documents through Weblate you will
need to do that as well to keep Weblate in sync. In the pt_BR language
we will need to do that for all documents as well.

There is an Automatic Translation feature (add-on) [1] on Weblate to
automatize these things, but it didn't work for us because of
performance issues (we have too many translation components 500+).

I've seen some performance improvements on Weblate repository and we can
create a script to handle that as well... I think soon we will have some
improvements on this.

But right now we need to do that manually, the good news is that the
Translation Memory works very well, we won't need to translate anything
again, just revise, copy/save.

ps. Even translating automatically 100/100 (similarity) strings, we will
have to revise many others because of the migration.
