Then there is https://garage.maemo.org/projects/transifex which is the user that will commit the changes made on transifex.net to the garage source code repositories (git or svn). So if you want to use transifex.net on your garage project, you have to add this user to your project.

This article is continued discussion from the maemo.org brainstorm
Please see the 2010 Agenda for more.


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

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.

Status

Maemo SW is planning to offer the tools for community localization in Harmattan. The tool selected is Transifex. See http://wiki.maemo.org/Task:Evaluate_Transifex

The Conboy project is opening the way: http://www.transifex.net/projects/p/conboy/

It seems that some people is trying to commit patches from Transifex to maemo.gitorious.org?

Then there is https://garage.maemo.org/projects/transifex which is the user that will commit the changes made on transifex.net to the garage source code repositories (git or svn). So if you want to use transifex.net on your garage project, you have to add this user to your project.
