Hi Tirifto, Yes, Zanata was considered when we have searched for an "user-friendly way" to make translations. But at this time, Zanata hosting and interface were inadequat in this area, and for our needs.
For Transifex note: it's not the only way to contribute: as you've just done you can send modified i18n sources files, all are made in plain text. Now Transifex is like Github: the hosting code is proprietary and close, but they gives support in some ways to the work. As this done without limiting us, I think it's acceptable (after all, we can work without them, but more people known github/transifex than SFL... well for now :-D). For sure, we don't know what the future will be ;-) Thanks for your comments! -- Guillaume ----- Le 25 Jan 16, à 16:32, User Tirifto <[email protected]> a écrit : > Hello everyone! > I have not been following the development of Ring for a long time, so I don't > know what led to some of the more recent decisions.
