Why not starting a translation project on translation community platform?
Closed this issue · 13 comments
Now we can start translation meta project on Transifex or similar platform such as translatewiki.net.
You can see instructions at https://docs.transifex.com/integrations/rails/ for transifex.
There are many volunteers who may help us to localize ossfriday site.
@miurahr Great idea! Are either of these freely available for open source projects? Do you have experience using either of them?
@MikeMcQuaid These are freely available for OSS and very famouse. Many OSS leaders knows it and use it.
@miurahr Great, thanks!

This might be helpful for workflow; (1) convert yml to PO file (2) upload PO files (3) download updated translation from transifex in PO file. (4) merge back to yml
Does anyone who have experience to use the tool?
Here is a thread I found.

Transifex provide utility tool for this purpose.

@miurahr Thanks! I've signed up for an account and invited you: https://www.transifex.com/github-open-source/open-source-friday/dashboard/
Can you let me know if it looks OK to you? There's a few strings it noticed are missing from the Japanese translation; maybe you could try and translate them and then I can try the process of getting a translation back here? Thanks!
@miurahr This has now moved to https://www.transifex.com/github-open-source/open-source-friday/dashboard/
@MikeMcQuaid I send a request for team join just now.
Looks good on transifex. Could you also give me a reviewer permission?
I'd like to update some terms and ask you to import it to the projects soon.
@knowtheropes35 If you don't have anything to add to this thread please don't comment, thanks.
@miurahr Will do, thanks!
@miurahr Done!
@MikeMcQuaid You can find a translated result on Transifex now. The data is fully translated and some are tagged as reviewed. We will export it and import here. I'd like to propose closing the issue when you have all work flows done successfully.
