hi all, firstly, i didn't use launchpad so much, but i used transifex for a mouths help to translate several opensource projects including the transifex itself. i found it can answer these needs as commented following.
Quoted from http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-devel/2011-September/092047.html > Launchpad tracks who translated what string and if we choose the > 'Closed' permissions model only approved translators can update the > translations. So that means we should be able to get patches with > full attribution. transifex has coordinator and translator roles division. coordinator could review the translation[1]. > Launchpad would need to pull updated PO files from Wine regularly. > Ideally that would be automatic and happen daily (both to account > for translations happening outside Launchpad and to take changes in > the resource files into account quickly). transifex has option to pull form outside, and the frequency is about daily[2]. > Conversely Launchpad should submit patches back to Wine. Ideally that > would be automated as much as possible but I'm fuzzy on the details > here (especially on how to preserve attribution). As for the > periodicity, maybe the best would be weekly or just before Alexandre > makes a release. the transifex has command line client[3] to pull the translation changes. if a unix guy got the command line tool, what could he do. ;) Quoted from http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-devel/2012-January/093908.html >trace every Wine commit to a specific person transifex itself is open source project that can be self-hosted[4]. xfce team is hosting their own with it, every the commit was tracked and can view the diff easyly.
