Thanks for sharing those links Robert.<br>
<br>
Now we should have guides for more languages, let me check if we can
get them published here for your easier reference.<br>
<br>

Paul!<br>
I don't remember if you've ever heard from me, since I've been absent
from the translation activities for a long time (at least more than a
year for sure).
<div class="im"><br>
<br>
> you have been doing all these in your spare time, in an unselfish
manner, not to mention that for languages we have only a single
translator, you are doing the work on your own, with no much help from
others<br>
</div>
My situation is exactly the one you described. Unfortunately, I'm the
only active Italian translator... oh well, the last who was active. I
joined the NB l10n team in a period when the study wasn't as demanding
as it is now.
<div class="im"><br>
<br>
Constantin's ideas about the topics to be discussed are valid. However,
he wrote:<br>
> Discuss about the internal teams functioning ( who is team leader
, how many contributors by team, etc)<br>
</div>
but in many cases there is no "internal team", since everything is
taken care of by a single person.<br>
<br>
If I had to explain briefly my opinion, I'd say that the problem
consists mainly in the lack of sponsors for this project. When a
language has a badly coordinated team (or even no team at all), the
resulting translation is consequently bad. This happens because, even
assuming all individuals' work quality is high, everyone follows his
own lexicon and "translation style", so that the result becomes
different when the underlying translator changes.<br>
Of course giving such local directives is not the global team's
responsibility. Anyway, returning to the main topic, many problems
could be solved if contributors where more (numerically) and more
coordinated, so that the project could count on a less discontinuous
involvement.<br>
<br>
Although your meeting proposal is a praiseworty initiative, frankly I
prefer not to take on a commitment. Meanwhile, let's hear if there are
other suggestions.<br>
<br>
Hoping to get back active soon,<br>
arrivederci!<br>
