Hi list, PSC

Thanks to all for the efforts put in the new website. Nice work.

I didn't see any related discussion so I suppose there is no issue with 
that but could there be a reply whether the documentation or the Desktop 
would be concerned by the no-translation decision, please? Thanks.

It is still unclear to me why the decision to not translate the website, 
but I must admit that I'm aware of it for months so this is not the 
point today. I thought there would just be no translated site.

What is unclear to me in the "leaving user groups hold their translated 
QGIS.ORG website" is how technically user groups that would like to 
provide localized website would proceed. Is there any how-to? Are all 
the candidates able to maintain the required infrastructure and keep 
their website up to date? Being an enthusiast translator doesn't mean a 
"geek". And are we not over-complicating the system, splitting the 
resources we have while a centralized translation system at QGIS.ORG 
could benefit to everyone? How about the translation infrastructure is 
managed by QGIS.ORG linked to the qgis-hugo repo BUT qgis.org does not 
provide translated pages on the website. Translated strings are just 
pulled in the repo and then every user group willing to translate 
somehow plugs to the (forked?) repo and build the localized version they 
want and serve it on their own website? Is this possible?

Sorry if there have been discussions related to this I would have 
missed, but translators and non-English speaking users are getting 
confused or at least, have questions. And having a clear direction and 
information might help.

Kind regards,

Harrissou
