Maemo SW is planning to offer the tools for community localization in [[Task:Maemo_roadmap/Harmattan|Harmattan]]. The tools that are being considered are [http://transifex.org/ Transifex] and [https://translations.launchpad.net/ Rosetta]. Currently Transifex looks like more appropriate since it's open source already and specialized in translations. Rosetta will be open source later this year, but seems to be tied to the rest of Launchpad modules.--[[User:qgil|qgil]] 05:03, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

In Harmattan the localizations files will use [http://qt.nokia.com/doc/4.6-snapshot/linguist-ts-file-format.html Qt's .ts format]. For community L10n [http://qt.nokia.com/doc/4.6-snapshot/linguist-manual.html Qt Linguist] should already work fine.

  • hildon-control-panel-l10n-public
  • hildon-fm-l10n-public

[edit] Maemo 6

In Harmattan the localizations files will use Qt's .ts format. For community L10n Qt Linguist should already work fine.
