Alright. Let me re-iterate over what I see as aspects that need to be thought over. - infrastructure : does IndLinux actually have the time to invest in resources around it. Putting up an infrastructure means ownership and, the obvious downside to that is liability - tooling : putting up a tool viz. Pootle to be an help allow aggregation for language/locale/script makes IndLinux the downstream of upstream projects for that specific language/locale/script. - translation consistency : a very important aspect. I made that point clear in my response to Christian as well. Most upstream projects don't give enough importance in their timelines to ensure that. However, a tool like Pootle isn't pretty much suited to a review aimed at achieving some sort of consistency. Unless you merely aim to load Pootle with the FUEL word-list and aim to use the translation memory to do multiple runs over the specific language and all projects underneath it. Along the lines of the last point, for a while now, Kushal (Das) has been maintaining a tool called translation filter (I may add, created at the very urgent prodding by Runa) which has enabled Bengali to maintain a high degree of consistency and, same-ness across the projects and translation-ready objects. You may want to look at that or, similar tools rather than hosting a translation interface. Standardization follows consistency. You'd need to check for consistency first and then standardize. -- sankarshan mukhopadhyay <http://sankarshan.randomink.org/blog> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ BlackBerry® DevCon Americas, Oct. 18-20, San Francisco, CA The must-attend event for mobile developers.
