Actually, there's no need for translated package descriptions to be a maintainer's job. Debian currently does this by providing an extra "Translations-es_ES" (for example) in the repositories with all translated package descriptions. So you could source these translations from whatever source, not necessarily each package control files.

On the other side, I think H-A-M does not support this.

Re: Community translations of Maemo software
 

And we would need someone doing those packages.

I would like to help you with the Turkish language :)

It looks like things are moving quickly on the transifex front. A lot of stuff we discussed in Barcelona is already reality. Amongst others, Language Teams and Reviews. More details are here: http://ow.ly/11ck1

Also direct commits to SVN over https is no possible. Developers please remember to update the SVN or GIT URLs, of your projects, as they have changed in the recent server move.

Rosetta (on Launchpad) does this, using a very big string database - it will look in all the products it knows about, which includes GNOME.

Cheers,

A problem with this approach are licenses. The system must make sure that they are compatible, otherwise there might be issues. We also discussed this in Barcelona, but decided that it will need some more thought.

Re: Community translations of Maemo software
 

As conny mentioned, we have already discussed this in Barcelona and we concluded that it is not a first priority feature to be implemented.

Currently, we support proposals through google API integration in our online translation tool (Lotte).

A glossary implementation is already in our roadmap. If there is a big demand for this feature by maemo translators community, we will increase the priority :D!

Andreas

I've submitted a patch a week ago but got no reply. It seems that nobody need this.

Re: Community translations of Maemo software
 

I can recommend sending patches through merge requests at http://maemo.gitorious.org/hildon-application-manager

- You're much more likely to have success with that.

Re: Community translations of Maemo software
 

The good news is that Moblin is also using Transifex: http://translate.moblin.org/ And there is a L10n coordinator willing to contact the Maemo counterparts and start working together.

See http://lists.meego.com/pipermail/mee...ry/000107.html and join the MeeGo-dev mailing list if you want to discuss this further.

Re: Community translations of Maemo software
 

qgil, these are indeed great news. This sounds like an excellent area where we have a big common goal and activities overlapping. So excited.

I'm willing to help communicate the roadmap forward to all interested parties and lead the development. Let's have an L10n mailing list created and start writing down some goals. I'll start with what we have and where we need to go, and take it from there.

We now have a new mailing list for MeeGo localization:

A quick update to note that we now have a proposed high-level roadmap written down at: http://wiki.meego.com/L10N/RoadmapProposal
