Hi Friedel :) As a long-time Pootle translator, I was very interested in this mail.

That would avoid us having to register again, and wait for confirmation. Since one of our aims is to encourage people to try Pootle, we should really remove as many barriers to use as possible. :) We might even want to look into a collective registration scheme, like Drupal, where registration details for one Pootle server can also be used to login to other Pootles, if the local admin has enabled that feature. This would make it easier for new participants, and for existing participants to start new projects. e.g. my login of "clytie" on the main Wordforge server, would become "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" on other Pootles. The Drupal site probably explains this much better, and in detail. http://drupal.org/handbook > You can of course download the po file and translate > it offline using your favourite po editor and upload it later or > post to > the mailing list. > > Those who want the pot files, they are available at > http://mozilla.homelinux.com:8080/templates/pootle/ > Of course translators should check first to see if the translation for > their language has not already been started with. > > Please use this opportunity to report any issues with the pot file, > your > language's plural settings, Pootle, or anything else, on the > translate-pootle mailinglist.

I love that feature! :D from Clytie (vi-VN, Vietnamese free-software translation team / nhóm Việt hóa phần mềm tự do) http://groups-beta.google.com/group/vi-VN _______________________________________________ Translate-pootle mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/translate-pootle
