Hi For some time now I've worked on making Moovida work well with Rosetta (Launchpad Translations) [1] to simplify and speed up i18n efforts. We now have a working tree that gets automagically imported into https://translations.launchpad.net/elisa/1.0 for easy translation.
There are some questions to be asked, though. a) how should a release process look in regards to i18n - what about string freeze b) should we use (display) incomplete translations - the general consensus is that we should not c) when (what percentage) a translation is recognized as incomplete d) should we keep incomplete translations in-source or wait for them to be completed in Rosetta e) should we change translation permissions to 'Structured' as was suggested on IRC - read [2] for more info f) should we ask some launchpad translation group to take care of translations - we can't do all of them - I've sent a question to Ubuntu Translation Coordinators group [3], it was forwarded to Launchpad Translators group [4] which has quite a smaller language base and I'm not completely sure what's the workflow there... g) should we upload and handle translation templates for external plugins (apple_trailers, grooveshark, jamendo etc.) in the Elisa translation project h) should we work out a way to use fallback locales on a per-string basis, only falling back from, say, 'de_CH' to 'de' for strings that are not translated for 'de_CH' - that would mess up determining 'complete' from 'incomplete' translations, though i) how should we migrate translations ready in 0.5 [5] - depending on what we decide in d) we could either import them and commit in-source so that they would be picked up in Rosetta or upload them by hand into 1.0 [1] and wait for them to be complete before committing I think I've run out of questions for now.
