What needs to be done
There are three parties needed to realize the community localizations. Those are Noka, Transifex.net and Maemo.org. For each of them we collected a prioritized list of deliverables.
Nokia
- Needs to provided the needed funds
- Should open the official language selection dialog in order to make it display not only official translations but also community translations. The language selection dialog in Fremantle uses a hard coded list. This should be changed in Harmattan. Instead of a hard coded list it should display all installed translations.
- Could integrate community translations into the first-start setup dialog. There currently only official translations are selectable. There could be an option to let the user download and install community translations. If needed of course with a disclaimer.
- If the above is too intrusive the user could get a message telling him that there are community translations available for download.
- Could provide the existing translations (after sales start). Those translations could be used to bootstrap the translation system, fill the glossary, etc.
