All right, but the entire framework that these open source projects now work under is still proprietary, right? This is from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transifex: Transifex is offered as a software as a service and features both commercial plans and free accounts for open source projects.[3] The open source version was discontinued in 2013.[4] Transifex is now fully a proprietary software. I'd like to maintain the Danish translation of mc, provided that you move to the Free Translation Project. Morten ___ mc-devel mailing list https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc-devel
Re: Translations and Transifex
Hi, I would like to kindly ask you for one last time to please change the tone of your communications, or find another venue for your inputs. The message quoted below is unduly worded in an inflammatory way and contains a number of personal attacks towards various posters. This kind of discourse is unwelcome on this mailing list. People tend to volunteer on open source projects, because they enjoy positive emotions that contributing to the community brings to them; negativity and pointless fighting spoils all the fun. Thanks!

It is wholly proprietary now. You can't even start a project without dishing out dough. Look at https://www.transifex.com/, at the bottom it says: What are you waiting for? Sign up for your 30-day free trial now. TRY IT FOR FREE I am aware that this may not pertain to projects started before 2013 (when Transifex became all proprietary), but why support a project that now abides by a philosophy alien to that of the Free Software community? At one time I argued that Midnight Commander should use the Free Translation Project at http://translationproject.org. It fell on deaf ears at the time, but let me reiterate that it is very easy to use - just send the new or updated pot-file to the project and translations teams all around the world are autmatically notified via their mailing lists. Team translators send the new or updated translation to the Translation Project's robot and the robot sends out a message to the maintainer that the translation is ready.
