Hi all,
I am currently looking into the localization (also known as l10n) process.
After some days of digging into it and banging my head against the wall, I
have set up a new wiki page ([1]) with what I have found out so far.
It is intended for developers not for translators. For the later there
exist already some pages ([2], [3]).
At the moment some parts of the page are more a brain dump than readable
text. The matter is amazingly complex, convoluted and hidden. Only a part
of it is part of the build process. There are many manual steps that use
scripts that are lost since the old pootle server crashed.
Therefore any help to fill in the gaps and missing pieces is welcome.
Regards,
Andre

This is great news. Thanks!
BTW, just out of curiosity--and my perennial desire to ease work--how
plausible (if not possible) is it to collaborate on this with the
LO/TDF folks?

I would like that, but there are technical reasons against this:
The content of the localization data reflects the file structure of our
source code. If you add or remove files that need localization then you
change the set of po files on the pootle server.
That means, that as long we LO and AOO have different code bases, we can
not use the same localization data.
So, first we have to unite, than we can share localization.
