While such global approving mechanism would improve quality, it would also slow down translation progress. I think the proposed process of committing changes should be simplified a bit.]]> Tue, 23 Sep 2008 08:41:24 +0000 Tue, 23 Sep 2008 11:53:46 +0000 Tue, 23 Sep 2008 13:39:06 +0000 Wed, 24 Sep 2008 00:34:22 +0000
Ubuntu's translations are worse than in *any* other distro.]]> Wed, 24 Sep 2008 07:41:54 +0000
It's too complicated to get implemented in Rosetta and I also think it's too complicated to handle, because if you lock something you must always consider the scenario that a translator doesn't unlock the translation correctly. This would require additional admin use cases. All this together would be more complex than everything that's implemented today in Rosetta.

IMHO Rosetta suffers from the lack of much simpler features. Thinks I would like to see in Rosetta are:

(1) an automatic import of upstream translations from GNOME, KDE etc. on a regular basis (daily or weekly)

(2) a web service API to download and upload po files so translation teams can implement own synchronization scripts

(3) an option for translation teams to lock translations from being edited in Rosetta

(4) a subscribing mechanism for translations that sends me a mail each time a new contributor joins in to make suggestions. So I can contact her or him to inform her or him about our team structure, processes an priorities.

Furthermmore I think that we may need more than a single workflow. The workflow you set up is a good solution for Ubuntu-specific packages and documentation but besides this we need a way to keep the translations in sync with the upstream translations which should be provided automatically.]]> Wed, 24 Sep 2008 14:57:33 +0000 Sun, 23 Nov 2008 03:54:22 +0000 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 20:22:58 +0000 Sat, 21 Nov 2009 14:37:01 +0000
