[libreoffice-l10n] Re: [Tuxpaint-i18n] Call for translation updates

Rafaele,

In general, TuxPaint L10n is an off-line process directly into POT files or
PO files from the TuxPaint site.   http://tuxpaint.org/help/po/

Sugar Labs is an unrelated project, of which I am Translation Team
Coordinator, running a Pootle server.  TuxPaint and Sugar Labs have no
formal connection, we are just FLOSS friends-with-benefits.  For example,
Bill delayed the last release of TuxPaint so my Armenian team could finish
before the release, all the way back in 2012, we hosted a local copy of the
TuxPaint PO file for our Samoan team to complete and then we upstreamed it
to the TuxPaint site.   Both projects have an strong interest in providing
great software in as many languages as possible, and so from time to time,
I collaborate informally with Bill Kendrick on a TuxPaint L10n sprint,
sometimes one language at a time, and sometimes like now, as many as
possible.

I respect the TuxPaint's team position that http://tuxpaint.org/help/po/ is
the canonical home of TuxPaint L10n.  I will locally host new languages on
my Pootle server and then upstream their work, typically removing the
completed PO files from my Pootle instance afterwards to leave no confusion
about where the canonical home of TuxPaint L10n really rexists.

Tell me what TuxPaint PO file you want in what language and I'll set it up
on Sugar Labs Pootle until it's done and upstreamed.  Bill and I are
conspiring to improve TuxPaint documentation i18n/L10n right now and we'll
send another blast out if we find a good solution to make it easier for
localizers.  The main thing I don't want to do is confuse localizers about
where the canonical TuxPaint L10n site resides.

Does that make sense to you?
