Objective:Community localization
 |
This article is continued discussion from the maemo.org brainstorm Please see the 2010 Agenda for more. |
The objective is to provide the tools for community collaboration in localization tasks.
Tasks
- Organize localization teams, preferrably coordinated with other open community efforts.
- Work on the localization of a basic description of the Maemo platform and the maemo.org community.
- Provide tools for consolidated language/localization teams willing to have fully localized communities around maemo.org.
- Provide tools and documentation to improve the localization of applications.
- Establish channels to collaborate in the improvement of Maemo localization in officially supported languages.
- Provide tools and documentation to create and maintain Maemo localizations in languages supported at a community level.
Status
Maemo SW is planning to offer the tools for community localization in Harmattan. The tool selected is Transifex. See http://wiki.maemo.org/Task:Evaluate_Transifex
The Conboy project is opening the way: http://www.transifex.net/projects/p/conboy/
It seems that some people is trying to commit patches from Transifex to maemo.gitorious.org?
Then there is https://garage.maemo.org/projects/transifex/ (?)
