[OSGeoLive] Some questions related translation

Wed Aug 22 10:20:40 PDT 2018

Hi,

thanks Nicolas, quick reply.

For the issue 1.:
Original:
> `Download <http://live.osgeo.org/en/download.html>`_ osgeolive or 
> osgeolive-mini to your computer's hard drive.
the link is probably then <http://live.osgeo.org/fi/download.html> (if 
we guess that language is Finnish => fi (It could have been some other 
also like se ;) )

I looked quickly [1][2] but I think it takes way too much time at the 
moment to get involved it that now.

For translato,r knowledge of process is important:
Source -> Transifex, are version in use texts to translated updated in 
Transifex and when new version replaces previous version?
Translated/translation updates -> how often website will be updated,  
will OSGeoLive be updated even version number stays the same?

So could Vicky or Angelos, please update Finnish language into use? Please.

Cheers, Kari
PS. Now I continue to translate.
