Hi Sérgio and welcome to Mageia's internationalisation team! Sorry for the late answer, but your mail reached the mageia-i18n mailing list only yersterday. I guess you were not subscribed to the list when you sent your mail. Please subscribe to the mailing list[1], it is necessary for us to be able to coordinate the work of the various teams; there is not an enormous amount of traffic on this mailing list, but if you fear so you can set up filters in your webmail or mail client. > > Looking at wiki I don´t see any team for Portuguese, but when checking at > svn I can see that ze has made some commits. > > Is anyone working in Portuguese translation? I can help in my free time. As he wrote a few hours ago, simplew is also a new Portuguese translator, so it would be great if you could organise your work together. The general process for translation is: - software: All Mageia software that we have to translate are on our Subversion repository, and you can find the links to the PO files here: https://wiki.mageia.org/en/List_of_Mageia_transifex_projects (On our wiki you can read about Transifex, which we used for the string translation before the release of Mageia 2, but it is now kind of broken and we are thinking about finding another solution, so for now we're back to the SVN). If you are not used to translating PO files, don't hesitate to ask for support here or on #mageia-i18n on IRC. Once you have translated a PO file, it has to be commited to the SVN repository to be included in the next version of the software. Your team has no member with commit rights for the moment, so you will have to send your translations to a fellow translators with commit rights (the simplest way is to send your translation to the i18n mailing list asking for someone to commit it). Once we are sure that there is at least one active and reliable contributor in the pt translation team we will grant him/her commit rights. - website: See https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Internationalisation_Team_(i18n)#Website_translation and don't hesitate to ask questions if something is unclear. - wiki: translation is on hold for now; more information about this in the coming days/weeks. - blog: There is already a Portugese blog for Mageia. I think it may be pt_BR though, since we don't have many Portugese contributors for now. You could contact the blog translators to have more information about it. > > -- > Sérgio Marques Rémi / Akien
