Nice! Thanks Cristiano and Kate for sparking this discussion. Yantisa your feedback from 2-year experience is invaluable to us. Please keep in touch! If I understand correctly the Transiflex workflow is efficient but the resulting translation is usually awkward. That is good to know and I will also keep in mind Jorge's wish for consistency with a built-in glossary. I don't know how this could fit within our current workflow or any existing translation tool but I agree it would certainly help.
> And it's not just about easiness or tracking changes, for me a very important matter is consistency on the vocabulary, and with Transifex is easy to manage a glossary of terms that different translators can agree Is there an export possible of this glossary file from transifex or other translation tools? Such a file could be maintained and shared for different OSM-HOT projects that need translation. For consistency and ease of translation of technical terms across wiki, software, documentation... althio On 28 January 2015 at 11:48, Yantisa Akhadi <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Cristiano, > > We have been using Transifex in the past couple of years as a translation > platform for InaSAFE documentation, as Kate mentioned previously.
