Hi All,
I think we should not overestimate Pootle. It doesn't support
translation memories (it doesn't support fuzzy matching) because of
performance considerations. And that makes it something roughly equal
to subversion/CVS, and not really a perfect translation tool. Now, I
think we do _need_ a translation memory tool to enhance the quality and
quality assurance of the localized versions as well.
For excellent review, read here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Translation_memory
And now the part you can't read in Wikipedia but most interesting to all
of us: Open Language Tools is being developed at Sun and it has a server
version (runs on Oracle, AFAIR). They are in the process of making a
decision to release the code of the TM server but what we'd really need
is a working TM server. And hopefully it could be integrated into Pootle
for storage purposes. I can try to convince people working on OLT to do so.
Regards,
Marcin

Hi Charles, Pavel, All,
indeed some weeks, we started looking at the pootle server to see if
this could be an option for the OOo N-L Community. The pootle server
seems to have some quite nice features that might be very helpful during
the translation process: easy check-out, check- in of the files and the
statistics... I think that it would be very helpful with the translation
management in general ... but that's my personal feedback...
I have been looking both at the links provided by Charles below:
http://pootle.arsaperta.org
http://pootle.wordforge.org
and I have some questions:
first of all: why 2 servers? is this an issue? May be we need both
Looking at http://pootle.arsaperta.org
I see a number of languages and 3 projects
OOo 2.1 UA
OOo2.1 UI
Terminology
Is UA the online help? Who is making sure that all 2.1 content is
uploaded to the server? When will the 2.2 content be uploaded? Why is
the terminology project empty? What's this terminology project for ... I
am asking since we have SunGloss as a - in my opinion - valid
terminology tool...
Lookig at http://pootle.wordforge.org/
I see many more languages listed, however, if I look at the
OpenOffice.org 2.1 and OpenOffice.org Help 2.1 projects I only count one
for the Help project and 3 for the GUI project.... again who is taking
care of uploading the 2.1 content?
Is this the solution we would like to use as translation repository and
translation management?
...I think it's enough with all the questions....

Hello,
Pavel Janík a écrit :
Maybe there is really a time for central po-repository like other OSS
profjects have, with merge-at-once of new template files to po files,
creation-at-once of snapshots and colorful statistics of course...
Yes, I think so too. I'll think about it a bit more during Xmas
holidays.
Well, there are some repositories already available for po files on OOo:
http://pootle.arsaperta.org
http://pootle.wordforge.org
perhaps Sun will get one soon...
Best,
Charles.
