<p><font size="2" face="sans-serif">Hello, all</font><br>
<br>
<font size="2" face="sans-serif">Till now, I got responses from 5 translators in Japanese, Korean, Spanish, French and Chinese translation team.</font><br>
<font size="2" face="sans-serif">4 of them clearly described their preferences is Zanata.</font><br>
<br>
<font size="2" face="sans-serif">Here are some comments from them to support Zanata:</font>
<ul type="disc" style="padding-left: 18pt">
<li><font size="2" face="serif">"Using Zanata, cooperation with other translators is easier: chat room, listing translators who are translating at the same time, comments if a translation is rejected."</font>
<li><font size="2" face="serif">"The role management of Zanata is powerful. It clearly defines translators, reviewers, and project maintainers."</font>
<li><font size="2" face="serif">"I like the Project-wide search and replace feature in particular. It allows translators or maintainer to search for a word, a phrase, a sentence, or a paragraph and replace it across multiple files within a single project. It is extremely useful when you do the final editing or reviewing."</font>
<li><font size="2" face="serif">"I guess the impression a translator can have is that Zanata is more user friendly, whilst Pootle looks a bit quirky makinf finding info or the right links a bir more difficult. I think Zanata is very easy to use and also promote s translator engagement."</font></ul>
<br>
<font size="2" face="serif">Also, there are some problems with Pootle which will block us:</font>
<ul type="disc" style="padding-left: 18pt">
<li><font size="2" face="serif">The support of CJK (Chinese font, Japanese font and Korean font) is poor, for example: saved translations in Korean font is ???; saved translations in CJK fonts do not seem to be recognized by the TM.</font>
<li><font size="2" face="serif">No official client till now. Our current translation process (uploading, downloading and reviewing) could not be implemented.</font></ul>
<br>
<font size="2" face="sans-serif">So as a summary of the translators evaluation, we would prefer to use Zanata.</font><br>
<font size="2" face="sans-serif">If you have any questions, please let me know.</font><br>
<br>
<font size="2" face="sans-serif">Best regards<br>
