Hi Nanduni, Always great to see someone so interested in working on XWiki :)
We did not really defined any scope for l10n proposal. For me the best is that you play a bit with it (maybe translate a few things, I can enable Sinhalese or some other language that would not be listed yet if you want) and see what are the main pain points for a translator. You also have a few ideas on http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/GoogleSummerOfCode/Improvel10nxwikiorg2016 and http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Improvements/i10n. Then you make a proposal with what you think you can achieve in the GSOC timeframe. http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Improvements/i10n is a good place to put details of your proposal and then discuss it on the mailing list with the community. Note: you can also ask quick questions on IRC (see http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/IRC/). My id on IRC is tmortagne (but no need to always as to me personally :)) there and my time zone is GMT+1 (France) and it's more or less the same for most of the core dev team. Here are the main features right now: 1) A UI for contributor to translation keys with mainly ** a UI which display all keys filtered by language, resource and status (empty, outdated, etc) ** a search UI This is the main target for the GSOC. The idea is to make easier to contribute. 2) UI and automated scheduler to update the keys and default translation on l10n.xwiki.org from the source (add new keys, update the english version if something change on git side, etc) This is used mostly by the dev team but it could use some love, like making things more asynchronous (right now you start an import, get a timeout and hope that it will be done at some point on the background) 3) UI and API to export translation as usable resources (that's mainly) This one is ok enough for now so unless you see some easy improvements on your side no need to concentrate too much on it.
