Hey everyone, our Transifex installation on https://translations.xfce.org/ is now ready for being used. What does this mean for you? See below.
Maintainers =========== I've sent every maintainer a mail with username and password for the site. If you haven't received a mail, please let me know. You should be able to define new components (this is what we know as 'branches') for your projects (if xfce4-panel is branched for 4.8 for instance, it should have an 'xfce-4.8' branch). Please DON'T use the access control feature which you can see when editing one of your projects (e.g. on https://translations.xfce.org/projects/eatmonkey/access/permission/add/). New users will and *should* have no permissions at all until one of the translation coordinators (staff) or admins add them to the translators group. Translation coordinators and admins =================================== This goes to Mike, Maximilian and core developers. The only thing you'll be dealing with most of the time is new users. New users want to translate and we want to make it possible for them. All of the translation coordinators and admins should have access to https://translations.xfce.org/admin/. When a new user has requested translation permissions via email, all you have to do is to add him/her to the 'translators' group. For that, go to users, edit the user, select the group and save. That's it. Translators (most important!) ============================= All of you will have to register a new account. Just visit https://translations.xfce.org/ and click on 'Register' in the upper right corner. After that, please send a mail to Mike, Maximilian (dunno how active he is these days though) or one of the core developers of your choice so that we can add you to the translators group. The first thing you should do is to set your firstname and surname on https://translations.xfce.org/accounts/profile/edit/personal/. This will help in setting the author commit information. After all this is done, you'll be ready to go. I won't go into details about the translation workflow with Transifex here but if you need more information you could have a look at http://transifex.org/wiki/About or google for tutorials. I encourage everyone to organize your teams on [email protected] if you haven't done so already, because AFAIK Transifex provides no ways to communicate with other translators (except for locking/unlocking PO files ;)). If you encounter any errors with the platform, please let me know and I'll either try to solve it or forward it to the Transifex developers. And if you have more questions, please ask them on the [email protected] mailing list. Thanks! Happy translating! - Jannis
