I'm working on a custom translation of Drupal 5 for one of my clients. He plans to use Drupal 6 when released though.
I wonder how different is v6 in terms of gettext strings. If I finish v5 translation will all those strings be compatible with v6, even with some minor changes, or should I have to wait and start from scratch when v6 released?

I'd appreciate any opinion folks :)

There are lots of changes. I would say more than thirds of Drupal 6 strings are new or different. It could even be half of the strings, as we are still fixing typos, terminology, usability issues and so on.
