The OP is already aware of Django's I18N, so I think we're off to a
good start there.

Agreed.  I think the main Django I18N frameworks end up producing
potfiles, so the translators should not have too much new
infrastructure to learn.

OK, good!  Then you can work on this without time pressure.

OK, great!  You probably can!  And don't take my worries too
seriously.  I'm a professional worrier.  Every project should have one
-- and only one. :-)

And in terms of Python skills necessary, this project *is* beginner-
friendly.

I added a comment in #67.

The core has a bunch of templates that need translation, although it's unclear
whether a gettext approach will help.  Probably we can just accept merge
requests for translated templates.

The core also has some translatable strings, mostly for substitutions into
fields that it creates out of whole cloth.  For those, gettext-extraction and
translation techniques will be helpful.

I'm happy to continue discussing both of the above in #67.

It's true that the bulk of the translation work project-wide will be for
Postorius and Hyperkitty.  Both of those are Django projects, and I'm sure
Django has i18n support, although I really don't know much about those
details.  To the extent that all subprojects can share infrastructure, great,
but that shouldn't come as a sacrifice for Django's natural i18n workflow.
Aurelien and Florian should probably describe how they want it to work for
those two projects.

Cheers,

No it wasn't for GSoC, i just wanted to do something in opensource and this
issue caught my attention as it was labelled as "beginner friendly" . I
went through the links attached and felt that i can do this.
