The German translators team uses a mailing list [1] and the wiki [2]. One of our most important communication tools is a kind of ToDo-List in the wiki [3] which we use to coordinate our translation and QA tasks. Beside this we document our guidelines, workflows and general information in the wiki. We also have a section in the German ubuntuusers.de-forum [4]. Here we inform the users, answer question and a lot of users uses this section to report translation bugs. Currently we discuss using IRC, but we have no experience with this.

Re: Survey of l10n team communication tools
Hi, My name is Sasa Tekovic and I'm coordinator of the Croatian Ubuntu Translators. Even though our team is not very big, we are communicating in lot of ways. We use forum [1], IRC channel [2] and mailing list [3]. For storing useful information, we use our wiki [4], which is in some occasions used for communication too. For informing other members of the community about translation progress and attracting new translators, we use our website [5] Translation related discussions on our forum are fairly minimal, which is a shame because we have a lot of active users there. Nevertheless, for bigger and more important discussions we use our mailing list, and for smaller, less important things we use IRC channel.

On the Ubuntu Portuguese Translators team, we use the mailing list as our main communication tool. We also use the Portuguese Ubuntu Comunity website to store information about translating Ubuntu (how to apply to our team, best practices, getting started guides, what packages should be translated on Rosetta, language consistency resources, how to contribute upstream, etc) and try to make that information useful to both prospective contributors and established members of the team.

The mailing list is used for general discussion not covered in the wiki. There is a generic Howto about translation (spelling, style, technical details of gettext, frequent errors, etc) in the wiki of hup.hu, biggest Hungarian Unix news site[3]. Too bad that it's too big for beginners to actually read it. We do not use forums at all, and IRC usage is minimal at best - there is no dedicated channel, only #ubuntu-hu is used when needed. For translation errors, there is a Google hosted project[4], that provides one unified interface and place for all Hungarian localization projects (Gnome, Kde, Xfce, Openoffice, Mozilla, Ubuntu, Opensuse etc.) and for users. The idea is, that users should report any localization problem they encounter while using open source software at only one central project, and we assign it to the correct maintainer, who then fixes it.

The Swedish team (2-4 persons) are mainly coordinated through the Swedish Ubuntu Forum [1]. We also have our own mailing list [2] but it is rarely used. We are a small (by design) team with close collaboration with upstream (me doing GNOME, GNU, Debian and with the Swedish KDE team). We get l10n reports (spelling issues and other issues) directly over IRC [3], the forum [1] or directly to the translator (mainly me). We have our translation guidelines over at [4]. We currently do not accept more translators in the Swedish team. Translation suggestions are always welcome though.

Re: Survey of l10n team communication tools
Hi In the Danish translation team we normally just use the general mailing list of danskgruppen (Danish Team), which is used by a variety of Danish FOSS translation groups, including KDE, Gnome, Xfce, Fedora etc. We tag the mail header, e.g [Ubuntu], [Gnome] [KDE] and so on... We try to guide new translators into the mailing list, when they start making translation suggestions through Launchpad. Translation instructions are available on the Danskgruppen wiki, though the complexity of the instructions reflects the complexity of the current challenges of Launchpad :-). IRC is not used very much. I do, however, like the idea of communicating more through the Danish Ubuntu Forum, but when we try to recruit potential translators through the forum, I get almost no replies. /Mads Bille Lundby 2009/7/16 Evan R.

Re: Survey of l10n team communication tools
The Hebrew team uses mostly the forum [1], where we also get translation requests. We also use the mailing list [2], but less frequent. Information about translation process is stored in the wiki [3].

We have an IRC channel too, but it's almost empty. We store information of our team, guidelines, and how to join the team and mailing list in our wiki. We have also a small place on the Italian forum where for each release we set up a "discussion" that users can use to tell us about typos, errors or untranslated strings they see. We do this because of the big users base our forum has.
