To prepare for later translations, I registered at transifex.net for pcmanfm2 and will use this later for the translation of the new pcmanfm/libfm.
https://transifex.net/projects/p/PCManFM/ The purpose and advantages of this move: 1. Since now we started using git, and the translators don't necessarily know how to use git, we definitely need a better submission system. 2. With this, translators who only do translations don't need to have direct access to git repository and this improves access management. 3. We can have better statistics for current status of translation 4. Transifex has been greatly improved since we evaluated the possibility of using Transifex last time. So it's now the time for re-evaluate. 5. The transifex.net service has upgraded their Transifex version to 0.8, which should supports pleural form string editing. 6. This can be used to evaluate the applicability of Transifex for the whole LXDE project. 7. Translators can use web-based interface and don't need to learn any version control systems. 8. Submission to our git repo is automatic and don't need to be done manually by maintainer or coordinator. So workflow of translation update is greatly improved, simpified, and accelerated. No more translation related patches in the bug trackers. Translations should all managed with Transifex and this is the only portal for translations. 9. People outside our community and who don't have access can easily contribute to LXDE translation. 10.We don't need to maintain our own translation server. If git + Transifex to manage the development of pcmanfm is prooved to be applicable, we can consider moving the whole lxde source tree to git and coordinate all translation work with Transifex automatically, and don't need to maintain separate pootle server anymore. The guys at transifex.net will be responsible for maintaince and upgrades. So we can totally focus on our development. Later, when pcmanfm2 is ready, I'll announce in the mailing list, and translation can be initiated on transifex.net. If you are an interestd translator, please consider getting yourself registered on transifex.net first. :-) Cheers! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Planet: dedicated and managed hosting, cloud storage, colocation Stay online with enterprise data centers and the best network in the business Choose flexible plans and management services without long-term contracts Personal 24x7 support from experience hosting pros just a phone call away. http://p.sf.net/sfu/theplanet-com _______________________________________________ Pcmanfm-develop mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/pcmanfm-develop
