I've not thought enough about this (I wanted to do it but got swamped with other stuff) so I'm +0 on it.
One thing (maybe it was discussed): it would be nice if the solution was able to change the UI directly on the wiki it's defined so that the person who fills translations can see them in action by navigation to the wiki pages. That would help a lot especially by choosing text that fits in the target location. My only worry is that I've seen that the tool requires to be the master which means (I think) that we cannot edit SVN files any more. We would need to find a way to make this error-proof somehow (special svn rights on some files/dirs, synchronization, Git branches, etc). This is probably not too urgent and we should probably see how it works in action first. Thanks -Vincent On Nov 10, 2008, at 1:04 AM, Ludovic Dubost wrote: > > Any -1 votes ?
