2013/9/25 Cédric Krier <[email protected]>:Pointless.Enjoy our history: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Catalonia
I guess that what Cédric wanted to express is that this decision (How
to display demo_<language> is a technical / UI decision not one in
relation with history or political issue).
No one denies the history of Catalonia, Galicia, Brittany, Basque
Country, Flemish|Walloon Region, Corse or any other small nations /
countries / autonomous regions (use the terms that applies according
to your ideology).
But the problem is :
* Should we display on the demo page all the languages Tryton is
translated in ?
* If the answer is yes:
- how to do it efficiently (Albert proposal is nice)?
- What is the threshold (if tryton is only translated at 5% I
guess we don't want to make the demo for that language)?
- What to do when the website is translated but not the
application?
- What to do when the application is translated but not the
website?
- What to do with dialects (es_CO, es_AR, …)?
* If the answer is no:
- What is the impact of choosing only few languages?
- How do we decide which languages should be displayed? We
could use different list:
-
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Official_languages_of_the_United_Nations
-
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_official_languages_by_institution
-
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most_widely_spoken_languages_(by_number_of_countries)
-
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_languages_by_total_number_of_speakers
-
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_languages_by_number_of_native_speakers
- I guess anyone can make up its own list in fact :D
There might be of course other issues.
My personal view on this subject is that we should follow Albert
proposal strictly. If people want to have their own language on the
demo website then the must make the effort to translate the tryton
website.
On the threshold point of view, I think that we should require that
all installed modules in the demo are fully translated.
Regarding the dialects, I don't thing they should be displayed. To be
honest, I even don't understand why they exists in the first place.
The main issue with my point of view is the maintenance costs that it
implies:
- making sure that the website is fully translated
- making sure that the installed modules are fully translated
- maybe something else I have not though about.
It is not an easy task.
