Hi Khaled,
A few cycles back we created the Launchpad Translators translation
group, so that developers could assign the translation of their project
to a trusted set of experienced translators, in the same way we do in
Ubuntu with the Ubuntu Translators group.
Launchpad hosts many projects which, while Open Source, are not related
in any way with Ubuntu. The Launchpad Translators translation group was
created with the intention to have a clear separation between the
translation of Ubuntu and that of other projects.
However, if you wish, you can still get separation between hosted
projects and Ubuntu, but allow an existing team of Ubuntu translators to
work on both (if they wish so) by creating a lp-l10n-CC team and adding
the ubuntu-l10n-CC team as a subteam to it. The Ubuntu translators will
then be able to contribute, and those who only want to translate
applications in Launchpad but not Ubuntu, can be added directly as a
members of the lp-l10n-CC team. That's what some existing teams already
do.
In order to ensure quality and responsiveness from translations teams,
we've got a defined procedure to appoint teams for translation.
There we make sure that there is a minimum set of requirements to start
a healthy translation team community, while trying not to make the
process too bureaucratic. We ask teams to:
* Have translation guidelines
* Have meaningful information on how to contribute in their
Launchpad page
* Have a communication channel for coordination purposes
* Have a moderated team subscription policy
Apart from the guidelines, it should not take more than a few minutes to
follow this process:
https://help.launchpad.net/Translations/LaunchpadTranslators#StartingTeam
You'll also find more general information on the Launchpad Translators
translation group in the other sections of the above wiki page.
I see you already created an Arabic Launchpad Translators team some time
ago, so that's a good start already:
https://launchpad.net/~lp-l10n-ar
There have been many people interested in translating Launchpad
applications in Arabic in the last months, so I'd recommend talking to
them and see how you guys can work together to have a single Arabic
translations team and then follow the process to get it appointed in the
Launchpad Translators group.
Thanks!
