The objective is to provide the tools for community collaboration in localization tasks.

[edit] Tasks

  • Organize localization teams, preferrably coordinated with other open community efforts.
  • Work on the localization of a basic description of the Maemo platform and the maemo.org community.
  • Provide tools for consolidated language/localization teams willing to have fully localized communities around maemo.org
  • Provide tools and documentation to improve the localization of applications.
  • Establish channels to collaborate in the improvement of Maemo localization in officially supported languages.
  • Provide tools and documentation to create and maintain Maemo localizations in languages supported at a community level.
  • Co-ordinate efforts of translators of international pages in the wiki

See Task:Evaluate Transifex

[edit] Status

Update: We now have a MeeGo L10n roadmap: http://wiki.meego.com/L10N/RoadmapProposal

There was a Localization track during Maemo Barcelona Long Weekend. The result of the workshop was the Community Localization System.

See also the Talk thread: Community translations of Maemo software.

There are a number of pages in the wiki being translated by users.

See also Task:Evaluate Transifex.

[edit] Maemo 6

In Harmattan the localizations files will use Qt's .ts format. For community L10n Qt Linguist should already work fine.
