Which editor to use to edit the .po file is entirely up to the people translating to Spanish. The other two, Norman García and Rafael Rivas, decided to go with Transifex 2015-03-26, and I am sure the would be eager to hear your feedback on the issue. But to avoid problems, it is best if everyone use the same interface, to avoid a lot extra work with file conflicts, so please decide among the three of you how to continue. Switching away from Transifex to using git + another po editor would involve fetching the reviewed and non-reviewed translations and flagging the non-reviewed translations as fuzzy before storing the result as the Spanish .po file in git, and finally deleting the Spanish option from Transifex. It might be possible to find a work flow that handle mixing the Transifex editor with other editors, using the tx client, but I suspect it will be very prone to errors. > Of course, I do not know how difficult this could be, anyway, in case > this is possible, it will be great if someone out there can point me > where to begin my reading on using free tools for this matter. I would recommend you start by testing the workflow in one of the other debian-edu packages, for example the d-e-config or d-e-install packages, and see if how you like it, before we do the extra work of switching back. The current Norwegian translators of debian-edu-doc found the current alternatives to Transifex a burden that kept them away from translating, and was very happy when they no longer had to handle commit conflicts. Once we switched to Transifex, they said they finally felt productive and no longer scared about doing something wrong. But everyone have different thresholds there, so each translation group get to decide on their own. :) -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
