Hi all would you please consider updating this page
http://wiki.sagemath.org/i18n or any other? I think it is very important to have a well defined and commonly accepted process to manage translations. I don't know how, but probably there should be an automatic notification somewhere if the documentation under translation has been modified by a patch. An online translation system could allow the translator to directly translate the most updated strings. I think that structured systems (like launchpad or anything else) could be a bit complex to setup, but probably provide orders of magnitude of more simplicity than the current system. Have a quick look here: https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu In fact, that is self-explained (in my opinion) by looking at how so many linux distribution have been mostly translated into so many languages, not necessarily with huge translation teams! For example: the number of elements of the Italian translation team of Ubuntu is just 16. Otherwise, I think that the translation process can become VERY frustrating My 2 cents Maurizio On Sep 9, 9:50 am, Burcin Erocal <bur...@erocal.org> wrote: > On Tue, 8 Sep 2009 13:55:27 -0700 (PDT) > John H Palmieri <jhpalmier...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > How important is it that these documents stay synchronized?
