[Phpmyadmin-translators] Re: On line translating system

by Sven-Erik Andersen

Hi folks, > Would you prefer manual file editing or web based system? I guess a web based translation system could be of use to new translators who would find it easier to understand and use than a big text file. However, for me personally, I doubt that I would use it unless I had to since I prefer to use my trusted old editor. > Should be access allowed to anyone or limit it to current translators? > In case of unrestricted access, there should be some kind of review of > translated texts by translator? With everyone allowed access the barrier for getting new people to start a translation would be lower and that is a good thing, but it would also lower the barrier for people out to mess up other peoples work. Therefore, a kind of review of the new translations performed by the current translator of the language in question would be required. In addition, an easier way for us "old-time" translators who prefer the manual way to perform this review would be preferable, perhaps by way of a text file export. > Would it be good to automatically commit updated messages to CVS (after > possible approval) or just provide way to generate updated file to > commit? If the official translator performs a review/approval of the updated translations first, then an automatic commit to CVS should be OK, but not with any un-reviewed updates from a translator interface with full public access. Would this system be "generic" enough to make it useful with other systems besides phpMyAdmin that use similar language files? In addition, would it be possible to display the translation for the same string from other, selectable languages? Such a feature could be useful to those who have languages that are similar, like Norwegian, Danish and Swedish or Portuguese and Brazilian Portuguese. Sven-Erik Andersen Norwegian translator

[Phpmyadmin-translators] On line translating system

by Michal Čihař

Hi all I have an idea of on line system, that would allow (easier) updating translations. However before putting any effort into actual implementation, I need to know whether it will be used by translators and how to handle some specific situations. This is why I cross-posted this message. So first question is basically for translators: Would you prefer manual file editing or web based system? The rest are implementation details: Should be access allowed to anyone or limit it to current translators? In case of unrestricted access, there should be some kind of review of translated texts by translator? Would it be good to automatically commit updated messages to CVS (after possible approval) or just provide way to generate updated file to commit? -- Michal Čihař | http://cihar.com

But for a large number of messages, I prefer to edit a file offline. Best regards. Xavier Navarro. Catalan translator
