Hello,
I think the better question is how are translations going to be distributed.
I.e. we won't be shipping all available translations with Chandler.
There will be some sort of download process to get each translation.
I really like the pootle concept of having a centralized Open Source
Server that we can run on our own hardware and anybody we give the
rights to sign up for an account can translate (Although overloading
images / html is beyond pootle).
Deciding on how / when we distribute translations is the key I believe
to determining where they are stored.
I will give some thought to it over the next couple of days,

Hi,
Markku and me have been busy working on l10n for Finnish and French.
We found some interesting bugs (logged for most) and now have working
versions of Chandler in our native languages. Nice.
Now the problem is: where and in which form should we store that in
svn? There's a bug assigned to me on this
(https://bugzilla.osafoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2816) and here's
the last comment from Heikki:
"""
I think we should make a separate repository for the translations.
That way it
will be possible to give checkin rights to just the localizations. The
exact
structure should be discussed on dev before we create it I think.
"""
The problem I have with that is that suggestion is that localization
files refer to a version of the code and they do evolve with versions
of the code. In that respect, they're no different from, say,
makefiles or docs. Ideally, when you pull a version from svn , you
pull everything and everything is consistent by design. Having them in
a separate svn will make the references between the 2 rather tricky to
manage IMO.
I'd rather have them in the same svn repo, as close as possible to the
respective source they localize (we have localization for Chandler and
Chandler example parcels).
What do you guys think?
Cheers,
- Philippe
