So, let's rephrase it a bit. The following items represent my view about |
| 2 |
the i18n team's responsibilities: |
| 3 |
|
| 4 |
a) Translation of metadata.xml stuff in our tree (Is there any method to |
| 5 |
keep them up-to-date when the English text changes? Something like |
| 6 |
"revision" attribute that gets bumped when the English text gets updated?) |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
b) Localization of Gentoo-developed applications (portage, |
| 9 |
gentoolkit,...) including their manpages |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
c) l10n for other packages and sending patches upstream |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
d) Translation of manpages. man-pages-cs for example sucks :(. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
e) Persuading people that having comments in configuration files |
| 16 |
*without* an equivalent somewhere on the web is evil. Good example might |
| 17 |
be baselayout. Why? Stuff on the web can be translated pretty easily, |
| 18 |
configuration files can't. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
e) Translation of our documentation (that's the GDP's job, the intention |
| 21 |
is just to "share human resources" :) ) and GWN. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
f) Translation/localization of w.g.o. Efforts were already started |
| 24 |
(meaning that "the technology is available on at least one experimental |
| 25 |
site). |
