For testing the infrastructure, translated files are needed. You can translate based on the priority mark, or on the amount of lines to be translated, or complete a translation that someone else started, or start with your own project. Note that we already marked files that don't need translation.<br><br>Please tell us if the guide makes sense. (The guide is probably more for a reviewer than for a translator.) If the images below don't show in your mail, they are included in our translator guide [2]<br><br>They are mark with a red >> on the left.<br><br>Link to image: <a href="https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/File:OSGEo-Live_transifex_01_index.png" target="_blank">https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/<wbr>File:OSGEo-Live_transifex_01_<wbr>index.png</a><br><br><br>After that testing phase, we will work on translating included projects, where people from the projects can help us.<br><br>Those files generally start by overview-- or quickstart-- and are mark with an orange ><br><br>Link to image: <a href="https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/File:OSGEo-Live_transifex_02_second_priority.png" target="_blank">https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/<wbr>File:OSGEo-Live_transifex_02_<wbr>second_priority.png</a><br><br><br>The files marked with a green dash don't need to be translated (and would be retired at some point).<br><br>Link to image: <a href="https://wiki.osgeo.org/images/thumb/9/95/OSGEo-Live_transifex_03_retired_files.png/500px-OSGEo-Live_transifex_03_retired_files.png" target="_blank">https://wiki.osgeo.org/images/<wbr>thumb/9/95/OSGEo-Live_<wbr>transifex_03_retired_files.<wbr>png/500px-OSGEo-Live_<wbr>transifex_03_retired_files.png</a><br><br><br>Best way to start is to filter for v11 files and descending priority:<br><br>Link to image: <a href="https://wiki.osgeo.org/images/thumb/3/3c/OSGEo-Live_transifex_04_priority.png/500px-OSGEo-Live_transifex_04_priority.png" target="_blank">https://wiki.osgeo.org/images/<wbr>thumb/3/3c/OSGEo-Live_<wbr>transifex_04_priority.png/<wbr>500px-OSGEo-Live_transifex_04_<wbr>priority.png</a><br><br>As you can see on the dashboard [3], we already have 8 languages registered waiting for translators:<br><br>- finnish<br>- french<br>- german<br>- greek<br>- japanese<br>- polish<br>- spanish<br>- Mexican spanish<br><br>If you can help us translating those languages, or help us with another, please create an account on transifex and join us.<br><br><br>Pro. tip: you can copy/paste translations from current documentation [4] or from github [5] and check whether it still fits in with the string to translate.<br><br>If you have any question, please join us through the Transifex platform, on IRC or on the OSGeo-Live mailing list [6].<br><br>Best regards,<br><br><br>Vicky Vergara and Nicolas Roelandt<br><br>OSGeo-Live team<br><br><br>[1] <a href="https://www.transifex.com/osgeo/osgeolive/" target="_blank">https://www.transifex.com/osge<wbr>o/osgeolive/</a><br><br>[2] <a href="https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/OSGeoLive_Translation_Process#WORK_IN_PROGRESS" target="_blank">https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/OS<wbr>GeoLive_Translation_Process#WO<wbr>RK_IN_PROGRESS</a><br><br>[3] <a href="https://www.transifex.com/osgeo/osgeolive/languages/" target="_blank">https://www.transifex.com/osge<wbr>o/osgeolive/languages/</a><br><br>[4] <a href="https://live.osgeo.org/en/index.html" target="_blank">https://live.osgeo.org/en/ind<wbr>ex.html</a><br><br>[5] <a href="https://github.com/OSGeo/OSGeoLive-doc/" target="_blank">https://github.com/OSGeo/OSGeo<wbr>Live-doc/</a><br><br>[6] OSGeo-Live contact us: <a href="https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Disc#Contact_Us" target="_blank">https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Li<wbr>ve_GIS_Disc#Contact_Us</a><br><br>[7] OSGeo-Live Press Release : <a href="https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Disc_Press_Release_80" target="_blank">https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Li<wbr>ve_GIS_Disc_Press_Release_80</a><br></div>
