Hi all,As promised, I'm going on with the tests concerning the ability to use Pootle in the translation workflow for documentation. As you may know, Pootle is able to handle very large projects now thanks to the great work the team has provided. There is all the tools needed for the translation process, but also you can assign task and objectives to a member or a team.
I've worked on the first chapter of the OOoAuthors guide for beginners. I used WordForge filters [1] to convert the file from .odt (ODF file format) to .xlf (XLIFF file format). Both are standards, so it should be easier to have a good conversion. Several tools manage off line translation for Xliff file format, like WordForge or OmegaT, there may be others I don't know too.
Rimas has kindly uploaded the file on Pootle [2], creating a new project for several languages for the beginning. Currently, en_GB fr hu ko nl oc pt_BR ru zh_CN . Those are the 7 languages for which libo33 project is fully localized plus hu and nl. The issue we meet is that the strings appears as needing review instead of being empty.
If other team wants to give a try, please follow the same process as for the extensions project, post on the mailing list and Rimas (big thanks to him :) will take care of your request.
Please, follow up on the l10n list for the moment, we will settle a more precise workflow once we have solved the issued that may raised and that we are sure most (I know we miss an offline tool currently for Mac translators) of the needs to work quietly and efficiently on the documentation translation.
Thanks for your help in improving the process :) [1] https://sourceforge.net/projects/wordforge2/ [2] http://translations.documentfoundation.org/projects/doc_test/ Kind regards Sophie -- Founding member of The Document Foundation -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to l10n+help@libreoffice.org List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/l10n/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity ***
