Hi all,

I'm very happy to announce today the move of Django's own translation efforts 
to a hosted platform based on the Open Source project Transifex:

 http://www.transifex.net/projects/p/django/

It will make it easier to submit updates for the 63 translations Django 
currently has, lower the maintance burden for the core team and make it 
trivially easy to add entirely new translations in the future.

As part of this change we've moved the contrib app translations from the 
django/conf/locale/ directories to their proper locations in the app 
directories to get better translation statistics and isolate the translation 
catalogues correctly. This of course only applies to trunk and *not* the 
release branches.

What this means for translators
-------------------------------

Submitting translation updates requires an account at http://www.transifex.net 
from now on. You won't have to create patches against the current Subversion 
trunk or create tickets anymore.

See the Django contributing docs [1] and the Transifex User Guide [2] for more 
details.

What this means for core devs
-----------------------------

Updates to translations that have been made on Transifex.net will need to be 
pulled using the transifex-client [3] just prior to rolling a release or 
whenever it's convenient (e.g. after having added new strings). The required 
configuraton file (``.tx/config``) has been added to trunk. More information 
about the transifex-client can be found in its documentation. [4]

If there are any questions, please don't hesitate to ask :)


Jannis
