Hi,

(the discussion should rather be held on [EMAIL PROTECTED], as this is the prefered list for discussion about tools / workflows).

my work process is like this.

1. Download zip files from Pootle.
2. Filter untranslated/fuzzy from the po files by pofilter.
3. Translate the generated file which include only untranslated and fuzzy.
4. Review the file.
5. Implement the changes to the file off-line.
6. Merge the updated untranslated/fuzzy (which are now translated!) to
the original by pomerge.
7. Upload the merged po files to Pootle with Overwrite.

So I want to know how other people does this?
Do you have any tips? please tell me.

I / we at the germanophone project do exactly the same. (There is just two steps more 2.1: convert .po to .xliff and 6.1: remove fuzzy tags from translated strings) We found, that doing the work offline is the best way to do translation for several reasons:
- no risk of pootle timeouts
- limited review options in pootle
- painfull editing capabilities in pootle while doing a review
- no access to text memory in pootle
- almost no spellchecking
- no easy way to see what has been translated befor it is reviewed (approved)
- no way define and track "working sets" for different translators


The only hint I could provide is setup a local folder structur and set of simple scripts to execute (I hold them in a simple text file and just copy / paste). So all the conversions / filters .... will be done in a couple of minutes (which means this might be faster then transalting two strings online with pootle).

the task, tat takes most time is (as you said) uploading each single file to pootle. unfortunately I don't know a better way.

André
