Hi there,
I'm not sure this email has been relayed to tails-l10n yet, so let's
start the clock now. There were some follow-ups there, that you might
want to go read in the archive:
https://mailman.boum.org/pipermail/tails-dev/2013-October/thread.html
In a nutshell, the idea is to disable translations of the Tails
website for languages that have less than 25% of the core pages
translated. For the record, we require *all* of the core pages to be
translated before we add a new language, so 25% is really not that
much IMHO.
In the current state of things this would mean that translators for
German and Spanish have a bit of time (say, until the 0.22.1 freeze,
that is January 10th, which conveniently matches the 1 month delay
from the initial proposal) to have a team running and bring the
translation back on tracks, otherwise we will disable it. Of course,
nothing prevents us from re-enabling any of these languages later once
it is back in good shape.
Translators for Spanish and German: if you need any help (e.g. a call
for translators on Twitter, or a mailing-list to get organized, or Git
repositories), feel free to ask. I can't translate strings myself, but
at least I can give you a hand in this area.
Cheers!
We have currently 4 languages enabled on our website: DE, ES, FR, and
PT. Some of those translations are not maintained and have degraded
seriously over time.
We also defined in the contribute sections some core pages as a
requirement to enable a new language on the website:
- index
- about page
- getting started page
- support page
- download page
- about section
- first steps section
Calculating the current translation statistics for each language on both
the whole website and the core pages currently gives:
All PO files
============
de: 5% translated, 1% fuzzy
es: 10% translated, 4% fuzzy
fr: 54% translated, 1% fuzzy
pt: 24% translated, 2% fuzzy
Core PO files
=============
de: 10% translated, 3% fuzzy
es: 23% translated, 9% fuzzy
fr: 95% translated, 1% fuzzy
pt: 66% translated, 7% fuzzy
I'm wondering whether we should systematically disable languages which
have less then 25 % of the core pages translated. At the moment, those
are ES and DE. I don't think there is currently a team handling those
languages while this is supposed to be a requirement to have a language
activated on the website. Having less languages enabled will also speed
up the build process.
The downside of doing that is that obviously, even if few things are
translated into those languages, this might be helpful for some people.
But then, how helpful it is to have for example, only 6 % of the warning
page translated into German?
