[Talk-africa] Release: Cartographie des itinéraires de bus (Mapping informal bus routes)
Hello Aftrica, it is been a long time and I must admit that I "nearly forgot" about this project but since we do a reorganisation in Trufi Association I "remembered" you :) I am happy to announce the release of https://mapping-bus-routes.readthedocs.io/fr/master/ and some of you are keen to work on PT mapping projects and to be able to use this resource. OSM Togo now works with us to enable easier access to public transportation in their regions. That's why they were so fast in translating :smiling: I hope you will benefit from it. I always read the OSM Blog and would be happy to hear what you do in terms of PT mapping. Take it as an invite to do PT mapping projects and perhaps to work with us. -- We - Trufi Association - are dedicated to easier access to public transportation. We are a non-profit international NGO with our roots in Bolivia & Germany. We are committed to help cities and regions to run their own public transport apps. Now we want to help the communities in Africa. Communities from Africa helped to bring the French version ( https://mapping-bus-routes.readthedocs.io/fr/master/) of "Mapping informal bus routes" alive in many different ways. I was really surprised about the fast translation done by the community of Togo. OSM Mali and OSM Ghana were very friendly, gave feedback and helped me to spread the translation project. More people than necessary wanted to help translating :) It was exciting as always. - Cheers Sören Reinecke alias Valor Naram -Original Message- From: Nathalie SIDIBE To: Enock Seth Nyamador Cc: Jean-Marc Liotier , talk-africa@openstreetmap.org, talk...@openstreetmap.org, talk...@openstreetmap.org, talk...@openstreetmap.org, Sören Reinecke Subject: Re: [Talk-africa] [Trufi Association] Translation of bus route mapping documentation Date: Fri, 15 May 2020 15:13:19 + Hi Sören, Jean-Marc, Enock Thank you Sören for the great job you are doing with Communities in terms of Public Transport Organization. My answer to your question "Does your community need a translation into French? If yes, I would set up the translation infrastructure and invite the onces wanting to do the translation work" is yes. Yes, a translation into French will be very useful for most of the West African OSM Communities and some of them including OSM Mali have been already working on Public Transport Mapping Projects.

Re: [Talk-africa] [Trufi Association] Translation of bus route mapping documentation
Hi all,shall we start the translation project? It not, then I don't have to keep the infrastructure I set up for that or at least I can deactivate and disconnect https://mapping-bus-routes.readthedocs.io/fr/master/ from the living versions of the documentation to recover fast for later translation.Or was something in my previous e-mail (attached below) too awkward so I need to improve my own writing style?CheerioSören Reinecke alias Valor Naram Original Message Subject: Re: [Talk-africa] [Trufi Association] Translation of bus route mapping documentationFrom: Sören Reinecke To: Nathalie SIDIBE ,christoph.han...@trufi-association.orgCC: Enock Seth Nyamador ,talk...@openstreetmap.org,talk...@openstreetmap.org,talk-africa@openstreetmap.org,talk...@openstreetmap.org,franck Akouete ,Saliou Abdou Hey translators,I've now set up the infrastructure https://github.com/trufi-association/mapping-documentation-french which deploys to https://mapping-bus-routes.readthedocs.io/fr/master/ .
