Hi Chris,

Marc,

I believe what might help with getting these pages localized would be
an automated workflow that converted the desired text into PO file
format (and back again).  I think this might be what Martin is
referencing when he says "procedure for localizing" and "make it
invisible for the localization team to finish it off".

It would be desirable if something like inlttool

http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/intltool/

were employed to offer a method that presented this work in a format
that a localizer would consider properly internationalized (e.g.
produces PO files posted on your Pootle instance that are synched with
templates).  Not every language community is led by an HTML source
hacker or a wiki master.

As an example, the Gnome project uses Mallard and intltool to make it
possible for their language teams to localize the Gnome docs in PO
format.  It is quite enough work for most language teams to perform
the translation without having to master multiple mark-up languages
(i.e. either HTML or wiki).

Do you think it would be possible for the documentation team to
perform the i18n task and take that step to meet the localizer
half-way by providing PO files to work on in Pootle?

I am not sure if this would be possible. It does sound interesting but I think I would not be the one to organize this as I am quite unfamiliar with any of these tools. If we could get to the point where we could test it out we could make a case for it.

I am, just like most of you, short of time as well. Someone else would have to create the initiative for this.

BTW ... Jean is away at an important conference on documentation and maybe she will come back with an idea on this.

Cheers,

Marc
