a) Can somebody layout precisely what an en_US l10n team/group/individual would do?
as, I said, I think the first thing is to have an up to date glossary, then check for the
consistency in the menus/dialogs/tabs, check for the
Camel case use, check that the good terms are used for the good functions, actions, etc and are
consistent with the terms already used.
Seems to me that a lot of that could be checked by a script. Some of it should be flagged when
testing using the various screen readers. (I am making some very broad assumptions about the
extent of a11y testing. Starting with using a box that literally has no monitor, keyboard, or
mouse hooked up to it, when checking to see what functionality broke this time around.)
Check that the help buttons leads to help files, check that the help files is up to date, etc.
IOW, a lot of grunt work that probably could have been automated years ago, but wasn't.
b) Is there an existing en_## L10N group that could assume the responsibilities, duties, etc of
an en_US L10N group?
there is an en_GB group, but we are speaking about en_US which is the source for all languages.
There is no en_US l10n group because this is the developer team in fact,
My thinking was that the en_## L10N group could add slidestream this into their localization work
good linguist.
You don't want a linguist here. You want somebody that suffers from anb acute case of
monolingualism.
