I like this idea. It will require some work, but we're scheduling a restructuring of the Submission backend, which will make it easier to do these kind of tricks. For the UI I was thinking something like this: http://glezos.fedorapeople.org/transifex-merge.png What do you think? >> There is also the problem, if I want to download the files to the same >> directory, that the po file names are not unique (nor the pot) in >> transifex, most of the po/$lang.po and po-doc/$lang.po files has the >> same name (for the same project and revision). This could definitely be improved in Tx. We want the downloadable file names to be kinda unique to avoid such cases. > But I would actually hope that there would be a download link for the > whole apps of a collection.

It does take some live CPU cycles to work though, and the use of a robots file will definitely be a Good Idea™. -d -- Dimitris Glezos Transifex: The Multilingual Publishing Revolution http://www.transifex.net/ -- http://www.indifex.com/ _______________________________________________ Xfce-i18n mailing list [email protected] http://foo-projects.org/mailman/listinfo/xfce-i18n
