There are basically two different sets of content that need translating. 1) The interface. That mainly short bits of text or a few words like the Menu items, footer text etc. Some of it (such as the wording on the login-page or to request a new password) are already translated and can be installed like that. For the rest: I can set up an option to do the translation directly on the pages, so that translators can focus on the words that actually show up on pages, and see them in context. 2) Content translation. When new content gets posted please set the language at the top of the edit form. If that's done then a tab option "Translate" will show up on the published article. Using that tab, means that a translation of an article is directly connected to it, and a link to any translation shows up when somebody reads that article, allowing them to switch to another languages. We can set up more languages for the content translation even if the interface isn't translated to them. That can be especially useful if we need to have an additional local language on short notice. I can wait a few days to see which languages to add in the first instance, and then set up the translation tools. greetings clara -- ----------------------------------------------------- New PGP key - on http://zimmermann.mayfirst.org/ 3FA3 B969 1B5B C789 9955 19DF 05DB 1254 C5CE 7A1E ----------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ HOT mailing list HOT@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/hot
