<font size=2 face="sans-serif">Hi Doug, Hi team,</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">In today's IRC meeting, we talked about
the process to get IBM translations.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I'm going to normalize the process to
contribute translations by uploading po files.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Here are some key points during the
meeting:</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">1. It is strongly discouraged to use
the offline editor other than web tool. </font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif"> Because the offline editor
could not take the advantages of translation memory and glossary, </font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif"> which might affect the
translation quality.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">2. Simply uploading po files are not
allowed because it has a risk that the po files might contain bad translations.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">3. In some special cases, if people
who want to contribute translations by uploading po files, following below
steps</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif"> 3.1 Send email to I18n
mailing list, describing the source documents and languages he/she is going
to upload.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif"> 3.2 Zanata admin will
create a branch. Then contributors could upload po files to the proposed
branch.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif"> 3.3 When the uploading
is done, language coordinators could review the translations.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif"> The
coordinators could have two kinds of review results: agree to merge or
deny to merge.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif"> If
the coordinators deny to merge, coordinators should give some comments,
either to delete this branch, or to suggestions to improve.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif"> 3.4 If the coordinators
agree to merge to the master branch, Zanata admin will make the merge.
</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif"> A
option could set during the branches merging to make sure not </font><font size=2 color=#2f2f2f face="sans-serif">overwrite
translated/approved translations in the source branch.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif"> After
merging, the proposed branch will be deleted.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I have been testing branches in the
Zanata test server for several days.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">When I make sure it works fine, I will
go to the production server.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">@Doug, please let us know which resources
and which languages you are going to propose ? </font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Best regards<br>
Ying Chun Guo (Daisy)<br>
