Hi Jannis, I've jsut read your email about the translation of Django and i was curious to ear a little bit more about it.
Let me just introduce myself. I'm part of the organizer team of Montreal-Python and i work mostly with django. Since a couple of months we, at MP, are organized sprint to help to translate the documentation of Django in French. When i saw your post, i became curious to know if you were talking about the translation of Django itself or also the ref documentation. It would be very cool to have a complete translation infrastructure for the doc but right there's no many thing in place. Maybe you head about the sphinx-i18n project. It's GSOC project with goal to develop a way to generate .po files from rst files and than being able to maintain correctly the translation of a complete documentation. https://bitbucket.org/lehmannro/sphinx-i18n/src Is there any plan to use or implement something like this in django ? The python documentation is currently being translated with it: http://pootle.python.org/pootle mathieu leduc-hamel On Sun, Sep 19, 2010 at 6:46 PM, Jannis Leidel <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi all, > > During Djangocon in Portland I had the chance to talk to Malcolm and Russell > about how we might be able to improve contributing of translations of Django, > because of the weak points of the current workflow, for both translators and > committers: > > - monstrous patches, which the committers can't actual check for correctness > - incomplete or unmaintained translations > - complicated process for new languages and translators > > That's why we propose to start using Transifex [1], which is "[..] a > batteries-included, common, upstream translation service, allowing people to > collaboratively translate software, documentation and other types of > projects." > > While not all details of how we are going to use it are worked out, and a > bigger update to Transifex is about to land [2], we'd like to know from you > -- the translators -- if there are any specific blockers we aren't aware of, > that we need to work with the Transifex developers to make it work for us. > > So if you happen to have used it before or would be so nice to try it out for > one of the existing projects, we'd be happy to make the switch for the next > release. > > I currently have a read-only project setup on Transifex.net for Django [3], > that you can browse, but I'd also happily setup a writing test project for > anyone wanting to try it out.
