Hi, Sorry, Horizon korean translation is typing error. Firewall page -> Policy is “폴린드어(Polish)”…. :( So, I edited Transifex this string. :) This edit patch at next horizon update(2013.2.1). PLZ…. And where is typing error reporting? Launchpad?? or other?? Thanks, Sungjin

Collecting requirements to translation tools
by Ying Chun Guo 17 Nov '13

Hi, I18n team One year ago, when the community was making the decision to use Transifex as the translation management tool, a table was made to compare several different tools: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Aqevw3Q-ErDUdFgzT3VNVXQxd095bF… Now since Transifex began to close its source code, we will do another round of tool selection to find the translation management tool for Openstack translation. We will start from requirements collection. Here I listed some. (Some are copied from the old table. The last three items are newly added. ) * Cross-project translation teams * Cross-project translation memory * Good in-browser translation interface * Good in-browser review interface * Easy import/export of translation files * Support for all common translation formats * Git/GitHub Integration * Hooks for CI infrastructure * Management workflows that fit OpenStack process * Self-hosted * Proven success with large projects * API to gather statistics about translators * Easily see the translating context, i.g. the paragraph or section that contains the translation string. * Cross-project glossary and dictionary Please feel free to present your requirements to the translation management tool. If you know some good candidate tools, please speak out too. Let's find out the most appropriate tool together, and build a "wonderful" working environment for ourselves. Regards Ying Chun Guo (Daisy)

Interested in contributing translations for OpenStack
by Shilla Saebi 15 Nov '13

Hello, I signed up for an account in Transifex and attempted to add an available language (Persian - Farsi) but I was only able to request the language. Per the following link: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Documentation/Translation I should see an option to create language but I did not see that. Can you please take a look and let me know what's going on? Thanks a lot! Shilla Saebi

Re: [Openstack-i18n] [Openstack-docs] On translations and ITS
by Tom Fifield 04 Nov '13

(CC OpenStack-i18n - consider joining!) A very nice lead in discussion to our two sessions related to this at the summit :) Right now, we have some custom code for 1 that has been customised for the OpenStack docs (for example, it excludes screen elements ;)), giving some of the practical benefits of ITS. It's in tools/generatepot. Looking forward to discussing more next week.

experiences and tips in ops-guide translation (a case of Japanese community)
by Akihiro Motoki 03 Nov '13

03 Nov '13

Hi I18N community, I summarized our experiences and tips of Japanese community in ops-guide translation. https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1kQN-9765PzNbTSw5YoSl9kNOsUU_Gj74HQZ… While several months passed after the ops-guide translation finished, I believe it is still useful to clarify requirements for document translations and it may bring us some ideas in the discussion in Hong Kong and the future. I don't think our approach works well for everyone and is ideal, but at least it works for us and makes us much efficient compared to a case where we use Transifex. Thanks, Akihiro
