[OSGeoLive] Fwd: Re: [SeasonOfDocs] TheGoodDocsProject: Multiple language templates

[Cameron Shorter]

Vicky, others,

I'd be keen to capture the depth of your experience setting up 
OSGeoLive's translation pipeline with Transifex and forward onto 
TheGoodDocsProject seasonofdocs at lists.osgeo.org. . (I'm happy to forward 
on your advice.)

My company’s strategy is to set up repos so everything is in the English 
language sub-directory and other languages can be added alongside it later.

Instead of /src to hold the source files we start with /src/en. Even if 
translation is not expected.

It’s not the only way, but it’s one way to leave space for future 
expansion to other languages.
