<p>As per mail thread below, Nicolas and Vicky have been doing some
awesome work setting up Transifex, and are at the stage where they
are about to start engaging OSGeo-Live translators.</p>
<p>I think it would be useful to set up an OSGeo-Live translators
email list, where translators can hang out without needing to
being distracted by the rest of OSGeo-Live development.</p>
<p>So I'm putting a motion forward to set up an OSGeo-Live
translators email list. This motion will wrap up during our
OSGeo-Live weekly meeting this coming Monday / Tuesday (depending
on where you live).</p>
<p>+1 Cameron</p>
<p>Assuming the motion passes, I think we need to ask the SAC to set
it up for us.<br>

<div>Hi Cameron,<br>
<br>
</div>
Thanks for the review.<br>
</div>
I'll need guidance to set up the new mailing list.<br>
<br>
</div>
How do I do ? Sending a mail to SAC ? to <a href="mailto:mailman@lists.osgeo.org" target="_blank">mailman@lists.osgeo.org</a>.?<br>

<p>Hi Nicolas,</p>
<p>Press release is fine. I've made a few changes [0]. I
work on the concept that "Less words get read more".
Assume most people will only read the first sentence or
two.</p>
<p>I suspect that it would be useful to set up an
OSGeo-Live-Translators email list, which I suggest
setting up before sending out this "call to action" for
translators. Send something like:</p>
<p>"I notice that you have translated OSGeo Live before.
Are you still keen to stay involved? (I hope so.) We are
setting up an OSGeo-Live-Translators email list, would
it be ok if we included you on the list?"<br>
</p>
<p>Cheers, Cameron<br>

Dear OSGeo-Live contributors,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>As you might know, we are working on
translating OSGeo-Live Documentation using
the Transifex Platform.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We choose that in order to provide a
better translation experience than the old
.rst files and git one.</div>
<div>It will help us doc building process of
course, but we also add machine translation
capabilities (thanks to <compagny
name>) to help translators.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>It adds a review part too, that was
sometimes not possible with the old system
(when the merger didn't speak the language),
so it will help us provide better quality
documentation.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>All that said, the platform is online
[1], ready to test. So we need early
translators to battle test it with several
languages, writing systems and such.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">We
are in the moment where we can start testing
the infrastructure and our first draft of
the translator guide [2].</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">
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 project. Note that we already marked
files that don't need translation.</div>
Some feedback about the guide is 100% useful.
(probably the guide is more for a reviewer
than for a translator)</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If the images below don't show in your
mail, they are included in our translator
guide [2]<br>
