Hi everyone :) This evening I'm indulging myself by translating some OOo files on the Wordforge Pootle server.
I really do notice the difference after using the older Pootle used by the CC project: with the new version, the terminology is really helpful, the double-click edit saves time, and the automatic recognition of interface language from your browser really makes you feel at home. No negative comment on CreativeCommons: I enjoyed using their Pootle, and I hope they will get as much out of the newer version as I do. :) I was impressed by the combination of the terminology file (which present suggestions based on the original string) and the search-in- file feature. Vocabulary changes and grows, and on one or two occasions, I noticed that the terminology file for my language was suggesting translations that weren't quite up-to-date (my fault, nobody else's). All I needed to do was open another tab with the terminology file, Search for that term, and I could update it. Three clicks, bar entering the string. And next time that term came up as a suggestion, it was current. I love live update. :) This brings me to a suggestion: how difficult would it be for us to _add_ to the terminology file? I haven't been editing for long this evening, but already I've noticed repeated terms which aren't covered by the terminology file, but usefully could be. For example, the terminology file covers Point and Break, but not Breakpoint, which is not exactly Point+Break. It would be terrific if we could add a term to the terminology file as easily as we can edit one. Do you think it would be viable? Just for that file: we don't want people adding original strings to PO files! As part of the TM function, we could have Add Term... ;) from Clytie (vi-VN, Vietnamese free-software translation team / nhóm Việt hóa phần mềm tự do) http://groups-beta.google.com/group/vi-VN ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
