<div dir="ltr">Dear OSGeo-Live contributors,<br><br>We are excited to announce
that after many months work, we have set up the Transifex platform to
run OSGeo-Live translations [1], and we want help battle testing it in
several languages.<br><br>Transifex will hugely simplify and improve the
sustainability of our translation experience (over our previous manual
spreadsheet / git / .rst process).<br><br>It offers machine translation.<br>It provides a review process.<br>It shows us what is changed in the English doc version.<br>It shows translation progress<br><br>What is involved<br><br>We
describe what to do in our first draft of the translator guide [2]. 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">https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/File:OSGEo-Live_transifex_01_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">https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/File:OSGEo-Live_transifex_02_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">https://wiki.osgeo.org/images/thumb/9/95/OSGEo-Live_transifex_03_retired_files.png/500px-OSGEo-Live_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">https://wiki.osgeo.org/images/thumb/3/3c/OSGEo-Live_transifex_04_priority.png/500px-OSGEo-Live_transifex_04_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 this 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/<wbr>osgeo/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/<wbr>OSGeoLive_Translation_Process#<wbr>WORK_IN_PROGRESS</a><br><br>[3] <a href="https://www.transifex.com/osgeo/osgeolive/languages/" target="_blank">https://www.transifex.com/<wbr>osgeo/osgeolive/languages/</a><br><br>[4] <a href="https://live.osgeo.org/en/index.html" target="_blank">https://live.osgeo.org/en/<wbr>index.html</a><br><br>[5] <a href="https://github.com/OSGeo/OSGeoLive-doc/" target="_blank">https://github.com/OSGeo/<wbr>OSGeoLive-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/<wbr>Live_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/<wbr>Live_GIS_Disc_Press_Release_80</a></div>
