</I>><i>
</I>><i> > Hi all,
</I>><i> >
</I>><i> > as proposed during the last i18n team meeting we need to summarize the
</I>><i> > various workflows of i18n contributors to be reported to
</I>><i> > sysadmin-Team. The aim of this mail discussion is to provide sysadmin
</I>><i> > team with 2 or 3 scenarios for the workflow (online and offline).
</I>><i> >
</I>><i> > First we have to keep in mind that at least one translator of each
</I>><i> > language has to have commit permission. But in larger groups it may be
</I>><i> > better to have not more than 2 or 3 translators with commit
</I>><i> > permission, this enforces collaboration. :)
</I>><i> >
</I>><i> > I will start from my personal (though not very large) experience with
</I>><i> > Mandriva po translating, give a rough overview of the options for
</I>><i> > mageia and then would like your comments, ideas, corrections, etc..
</I>><i> >
</I>><i> >
</I>><i> > In Mandriva we used to checkout svn (anonymous or with key), worked on
</I>><i> > the po file with whatever tool we preferred and then
</I>><i> > - committed back (if permitted)
</I>><i> > - or presented the file to a local team for proofreading and then to
</I>><i> > be committed (the best way)
</I>><i> > - or sent the po file to somebody with commit access to be committed
</I>><i> >
</I>><i> > The good part was: you could work with whatever tool you preferred,
</I>><i> > you could work wherever you wanted without the need of a net
</I>><i> > connection during work.
</I>><i> > The bad part was: the risk of conflicts when 2 or more were working on
</I>><i> > the same file, nobody knew what others were doing at the same time.
</I>><i> >
</I>><i>
</I>><i> If the team work was really working then only one or some dedicated users
</I>><i> had right to commit, so the chance to clash was very little. And probably
</I>><i> even unwise distribution of work (more than one person working on same file)
</I>><i> was quite rare...
</I>><i>
</I>><i>
</I>><i> >
</I>><i> > Now we have several possible scenarios.
</I>><i> >
</I>><i> > 1. Using Transifex online and offline
</I>><i> > Given the fact that transifex is able to use the svn tree, you can
</I>><i> > work online in transifex. This is collaboration of several people on
</I>><i> > the same file until the file is translated and proofread. Only after
</I>><i> > that it will be committed.
</I>><i> > If you are offline you can still get the file from tranisfex,
</I>><i> > translate it and upload to transifex again. I don't know how this
</I>><i> > actually works with Transifex. We will know more about this after
</I>><i> > obgr_seneca and somebody else had a look at Transifex and report back.
</I>><i> >
</I>><i> I've heard Transifex has now online collaboration interface but never used
</I>><i> that. From the translator viewpoint Transifex was earlier just some kind of
</I>><i> central where you could see which files need working, could download them,
</I>><i> translate with tool of your choice and then submit it back uploading
</I>><i> translated file (or probably sending it to the person who had commit right -
</I>><i> I'm not sure because I was one-man-team :-) )
</I>><i> But if Transifex has now online tool, too, that's better.
</I>
It has a editor called Lotte.
And according to the changelog, it was rewritten from scratch for 1.0 :
<A HREF="http://help.transifex.net/technical/releases/1.0.html#web-editor-lotte-improvements">http://help.transifex.net/technical/releases/1.0.html#web-editor-lotte-improvements</A>
><i> Only problem may
</I>><i> be with rights - probably it'd be not very wise to let have commit all
</I>><i> people. Is there possibility that one or two people have commit right,
</I>><i> others only suggesting rights or something?
</I>
I didn't play much with my test instance of transifex, but you can
choose per project ACL :
- free for all
- member of the team
- copied from another project hosted on transifex
I still didn't figure how to create a team for the moment, so I cannot
answer much on transifex.
