Re: [libreoffice-l10n] Recruiting translators/editors

Pootle is very non-tech user frendly and you shouldn't have problems 
translating with it.

You should try to translate for Mozilla via HG where workflow is 
something like this:
- learn using HG via command line or via Tortoise HG on windows
- get keys from mozilla
- login with key and password
- download/merge whole repository every time you want to translate
- check "Compare locales" tool and MANUALY copy string differences from 
EN_US to your locale
- translate
- commit changes
- merge changes to HG repository

With Pootle, you only log in and translate. :)

Best regards,
Mihovil
