Open Stack

The original thread on the release note criteria created a couple of forked
topics.

On the original topic, I have no plan to move it forward until the summit
is over.
If someone wants to move this forward sooner, feel free to update the
original review.

Talking about myself, I cannot join the regular i18n IRC meetings as the
time does not work for me due to my personal regular/usual schedule, so I
cannot join the discussion.

> Release notes translation is imported when 75% of a PO file is translated.

> Do we publish translated release notes for a release with <75% progress?
> This is about publishing rendered release notes.

> For example, assume my lang team have translated release notes
> 90% for Newton, 10% for Mitaka and Liberty. In this case, which is better
> not to publish Mitaka and Liberty release notes translation or to publish

> My vote is not to publish less-translated version of release notes.

> Question from Ian on the gerrit review.
> By the way, is it possible to see only Newton release note strings in
> Zanata?
> Answer: The current Zanata version we use does not support filtering by an
> original filename.
> You need to check English release notes like [1] or [2] and search strings
> on Zanata.
