Re: [libreoffice-l10n] Localization Sprint Help

Hi Eris,

Nice to hear about your interest in organizing a localization sprint. 
Localization sprints help to get people involved and contribute the 
whole dedicated time at the sprint for translating. This involves more 
of discussions and interactions within the community, effective & 
productive and quality translations helping to increase the translation 
percentage too.

Am sorry I could not understand the website and the language. I am from 
India and have listed down how we do things here. Hope this could be of 
some help to you.

In India, we organize such L10n sprints both online & through physical 
meetups. You need to decide first how the task is to be divided - Maybe 
each person take one module/folder depending on the size or maybe you 
can assign one file to each, whichever works for you guys!! To start 
with you can have online sprints.

Requirements for online sprints :

1. Discuss with your community members and fix a date and time in such a 
way that you get more participation. (Maybe it can be one or two days 
event too depending on your time)
2. Decide an IRC channel to conduct this online sprint.
3. Inform the community well in advance and make sure you communicate to 
all through mailing lists, social media etc
4. Get all the participants on this IRC channel on the date and at the 
time decided.
5. Take a roll call, get each others names, then give all an 
introduction on how things work in your community and about the 
Libreoffice translation project (If there are any new members this is 
required)
6. Start working on the files/folders decided. You can discuss on IRC 
whenever people have doubts on certain strings or phrases or word 
meanings and get going.
7. Please note it would be good to note down the translation start 
status so that you can measure the amount of work completed and how much 
you have achieved end of the day/sprint.

Requirement for physical meetups :

1. Decide on a venue with good internet connection where you can 
accommodate all the participants (All participants must bring their 
laptops else if the venue is any school or college lab, ensure you have 
enough number of systems with all the translation requirements)
2. Fix a date and time (Could be one or two day event)
3. If you have new members, give a small session on how translation 
projects work in your community, about the guidelines and style guides 
you use for translations. As per requirement you can decide on the 
amount of time to be spend for this session.
4. Get going with the translations as mentioned above.

Hope you have got an idea about how we work during such sprints here. 
Let me know if this was of any help or if you have any questions, would 
be more than happy to help.

All the best.

Best regards
