Gabor, Restricted sounds like a good compromise; you need a Ubuntu SSO Account, much like Ubuntu One, to login, and then you can suggest. You avoid the risks of rogue translations, and ensure quality while crowdsourcing.
As for Nightmonkey, it avoids doing the logic client-side, which could be demanding and works for me (it was disrupted last year, but only due to a bug in Launchpad Translations which since has been solved) The code is at https://launchpad.net/ddtp-lp-html/trunk and I've added István to the bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of UBUNTU - AL - BR, which is subscribed to Package Descriptions for Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/376464 Title: Software Centre, Synaptic should point to the DDTP Status in Package Descriptions for Ubuntu (to make translation easy): New Status in The synaptic package manager: New Status in Ubuntu Translations: New Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: There are a lot of untranslated software descriptions in WebCatalog, Software Center and Synaptic (60000+ strings in most languages, https://translations.launchpad.net/ddtp-ubuntu/ ). Relying solely on translators doesn't scale. Would it be possible to add a mechanism to enable translation suggestion crowdsourcing ? The basic idea would be a button to "Translate this software description" below each untranslated description that would enable users to easily provide a translation suggestion to the DDTP using Launchpad. We could point the user to the DDTP translations in each individual software summary shown in Ubuntu App Center or Synaptic. There would be a button called "Translate those descriptions" http://nightmonkey.ubuntu.hu/#release=raring&language=fr&view=app&repo=REPOSITORY&isok=false&rownumber=100&sortpopcon=dsc&packagename=KEYWORD&page=null Two variables: keyword repository Mockup: - Software Centre: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-translations/+bug/376464/+attachment/3657387/+files/Logith%C3%A8que-Ubuntu_001.png - Synaptic: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-translations/+bug/376464/+attachment/3657359/+files/synaptic.jpg - Application Lens: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-translations/+bug/376464/+attachment/3650567/+files/mockup.png To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ddtp-ubuntu/+bug/376464/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~linux-traipu Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~linux-traipu More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
