Re: Transifex / Tiki tranlation

Hi Torsten,

I think that that translation noise may have been me. I chose tiki-wiki
entirely for what it offered in this area. We hope that our site will
become truly multilingual with parallel content in at least 40 languages or
more. Ambitious.  I am only however at learner level with the tiki
generally and I have had a few issues with the i18 side of it, specifically
how  RTL scripts render on the screen and how to add and manage new
languages. Retaining translations over upgrades is also a concern. I hope
to take part in the next round table, day job permitting, so perhaps we
could discuss then?  Forgive me if this is not what you meant.

Best wishes,

Jonathan
