<br>
I am not familiar with the details, but perhaps a different example can provide ideas. <br>
When organizing code "camps" and un-conferences in the past, there are many small<br>
pieces that help, but are not the same as the primary "sponsor" .. who typically provides<br>
money and perhaps some management. <br>
Open-source, community events are somewhat like "stone soup" from the old folktale [0]. Everyone<br>
bring what they can. Common things like equipment, transportation, food and food services, media coverage,<br>
publicity, speaker and guest liason, special software or software skills, are all needed and<br>
appreciated, but not the same as "sponsor". <br>
Generally people and companies want to participate for long-term benefits, like skills<br>
building, better documentation, bug fixes and best-practices evolution, but also there<br>
is a short-term desire to be seen and recognized. <br>
Translation of documentation to all human languages is a core value of OSGeoLive,<br>
for many reasons. The translation software here should be valued and honored as<br>
a great contribution. We can find a way to meet the needs of the small company<br>
to be seen and acknowledged, via attribution in the docs. It is not the exact same <br>
thing as "sponsor" but that is ok. <br>

<br>
Note on Google Translate -- Google makes a decision to provide a cost-free service<br>
to the public via a web page. There are likely legal disclaimers and some kind of License<br>
avaiable from Google. <br>
But Google is a busines where "there is only one Google" .. people are not named,<br>
small companies are not recognized, there is no communication to users by the company. Google is highly secretive and not at all open in a traditional sense, but instead make<br>
very sophisticated services available for zero cost to the Internet, in exchange they <br>
keep and use who-knows-what to further their technology lead. <br>
<br>
The Google model is not avaiable nor desirable for diverse communities. I see no <br>
reason at all to be concerned about the Google Translate use other than to abide by <br>
the stated license. It is not at all the same situation as a small, young company with <br>
a new product, like this translation software via Vicky. <br>

Maybe "sponsor" here is not the correct word, even if it would be<br>
displayed on the OSGeoLive sponsors page. Maybe a new section on that<br>
page could be added of "Special Thanks" with a mention of Leopark<br>
providing their translation tools. <a href="https://www.leopark.mx/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.leopark.mx/</a><br>

Hi all,<br>
Since osgeolive has been in transifex, leopark let us use the<br>
"translation code" to do machine translations, I would like to add<br>
it as sponsor (could be a sponsor on the translations section of<br>
sponsors). <br>
Who does not use it:<br>
English speaking only people, don't use it. because there is no need<br>
to translate. Languages that maybe were mostly translated, and every time the file<br>
changed, they retranslated, and just copied/pasted old translation,<br>
might have not used it. <br>
>From who I know that use it (for spanish):<br>
The students from the ENAH (archeology students) use it (so says<br>
MarPetra <<a href="https://www.transifex.com/user/profile/MarPetra/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.transifex.com/use<wbr>r/profile/MarPetra/</a>>)<br>
specially because they don't know the terminology used on the software. I do use it, (as Spanish translation was incomplete, and not up to<br>
date). <br>
Please comment<br>
