Hello Charles, David, Dwayne and all, I think it would be nice to have my tool included or somehow linked to the Pootle project. BTW, my glossary management tool is called Marani.
It is very neat that Pootle supports various languages, as well as various l10n projects, but in our case, I think we should host one instance of Pootle to a server we choose and use it only for OOo Native-Lang l10n projects, together with Marani. This would be the most accurate way of using theese tools for OOo projects. Of course, pootle.wordeforge.org will continue to host as many l10n projects as the authors would like. I am only suggesting that the intance we will use for OOo l10n sould be customized for OOo native-Lang l10n projects and not include other products, like Mozilla. Dwayne, using PO is a good way to handle the localizations (and I hope to see all the PO tools migrated to XLIFF and TMX in the future), but as soon as we intriduce TM, we will need to use a database. Glossary management does not strictly require a database and this is why I chose to use XML files instead. But I do believe that all the OOo l10n projects _should_ use TM, as it improves the quality of the translations and the consistancy of the terms used within the project, not to mention the dramtic improvement in l10n speed. So, like ou mentioned, until we have a TM functionality, we should advice the l10n leads to use an offline PO editor first to update the PO files with words/ phrazes from TM and upload the POs for use with Pootle after that. As Marani only requires PHP, I guess we should find a server that meet Pootle requirements first. AFAIK, One-time root access, python and php are among them. Talking about storage, we should not need to much for testing purposes, but hosting all the l10n projects means hosting all the translated and untranslated resources for all the languages/ l10n projects :) Best regards, Aiet Kolkhi http://www.gakartuleba.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
