Hi,I'm new here.I just want to translate mailman into Chinese(Simplified),so I'm looking for Leona (http://wiki.list.org/display/DEV/Languages)
We currently don't have a very good translation story for Mailman 3. While all the good coding standards are still in place (i.e. translated template lookup, gettext style strings in source code), what is missing is extraction and uploading of catalogs, downloading language packs, etc. Unfortunately, this is not something I have time to work on right now. Maybe someone in the mailman-i18n community can take a look at our options, the pluses and minuses, and give us a report. Here are the options I know about: - Launchpad translations. Pros: free software, project already hosted there. Cons: our source tree layout isn't compatible with their model, and I'm not sure how to handle our templates. - Transifex.net. Pros: open source, demo looked very nice at Pycon, has an API that may integrate better with our workflow. Cons (maybe): Unsure of the best way to utilize the site, how many translators do they have? - translatewiki.net. Pros: open source (I think), had some discussion with their developers back in January. Cons: is wiki a good fit for translating Mailman? May have some problems ensuring FSF requirements for contributions. - Pootle and similar. Cons: I really don't want *us* running any translation service; too hard to babysit based on our resources. What else is out there? -Barry
