Hi translators, Following the series of blog posts about the Ubuntu Translations plans for the Natty cycle, this week I’m pleased to report on the Ubuntu Translations Portal [1], and to announce its initial test deployment.
The idea behind the portal is to aggregate all existing content and to be the main entry point to the translations community for new contributors, providing them answers, inspiration and excitement. For experienced translators it will be a central point for resources and news about translating Ubuntu. The main goal for this cycle is the deployment of the portal, with an official news feed and a planet-like and microblogging feeds, all nicely wrapped up in an Ubuntu-Light-based theme. I’m happy to report that we’re doing good progress on this. So without further ado, here’s a preview of what the portal will look like: The Ubuntu Translations Portal test site http://ec2-79-125-76-181.eu-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com/drupal6/ Note that as it stands now, this is very much an alpha deployment on an external site, for development and testing purposes. As such, you’ll see that there is not much content, and that that content has been put there to help with development. You’ll also see that the theme still needs work in several parts of the site, but the current state will already give you an idea of the direction the portal is taking.
