For me (an occasional translator) the biggest hurdle is the technical overhead needed for some of the translations. Somebody like me, who just wants to translate a page or correct some errors - being forced to learn pootle (or similar tools) prevents me from "just starting". Therefore in my eyes, a simpler workflow could substantially improve crowd-sourcing of help file translations / corrections. Example: - present an "edit" or "translate" button on every page or even paragraph (could / should? be restricted to registered users) - transmit the diff of such a user-made change to a group of reviewers with "publish" rights - make it easy to integrate the changes back into the original page (e.g. by buttons "accept" / "edit" / "dismiss" (if spam etc) - make history visible (e.g. like in Wikis) so that everybody can see, who has contributed what ... well, that's just a proposal that came into my mind while reading your question. Easy to request but heavy to implement, I suppose ;-) Nino -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: l10n+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/l10n/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
