Hi,
here are my notes about our Weblate discussion, please comment and
improve, volunteer to do some tasks if you want to :)
Weblate
-------
* discuss merge policy (note that the problems described here would also
apply to any other Git- based tool)
* how do we deal with files from untranslated languages?
* can each language correspond to a branch?
* should we have one git repository per language instead?
* Weblate headers create merge conflicts
-> investigate how to prevent Weblate from altering the headers
-> test what happens if some translators use git and some use
weblate? how do we handle that?
* reviewer roles need to be reworked
* set up roles from our requirements :u:
* Git repository for Weblate
* broken on VM since farsi went online, needs repairement :u:
* We'd need an ssl certificate for the VM at some point
* consider using letsencrypt for my vm :u:
* What did the farsi translators miss in weblate?
* rtl not well handled (for example in links with HTML code)
* names of pages in Weblate differ from pages on the website (that's
because I was too lazy to type everything by hand)
* Do we want to maintain different workflows for all the translators?
or should we stick to one way?
* arguments to stick with vanilla Git:
- we can't work offline if we should be using a webapp
- git brings you to the code, and contributing. Some translators
learned Git that way, some started contributing to other parts of Tails
this way.
Pontoon
-------
* Need to verify if it fits the requirements of our blueprint :muri:
* Need to test it:
* probably we'd create a copy of the Tails website so that JS could
be integrated there. This copy would have a Git repo and do commits.
The original page would simply use the committed po files.
$funders
---------
* funding could be possible if we can convince them that funding *this*
free software is the way to go, instead of funding $company
* but if we use pontoon, they have funding from Mozilla already and we
could ask them to fund our hosting eventually?
Farsi
-----
* document mailing list :u: (done)
* ask people how to continue
