Re: Hello / Transifex !

First of all, welcome (to hell xD)!!!

From Galician Translation Team we have a few things to comment.

I was talking with Mandriva people (peroyvind, slauriere, ...) on FOSDEM, a
few days ago.

They ask me for which translation web system we want to mount on Mandriva.
After a short discussion into our mail list, we decided that we prefer
Transifex, but we not discard Pootle like secondary system. As advantage
over Transifex, it allows to do translations chain by chain over the
browser. Is it possible mount both?

About our workflow, we use exactly the same system as German Translation
Team.

But, about this, we have a little problem. I'm the galician translation team
coordinator and my svn access is broken since several months. On FOSDEM,
peroyvind changed my ssh key on ldap for a new one, but it didn't work. So,
I can't upload galician translations to svn. When you get a chance, you can
help me with this problem, please? Thanks ;-)

And finally, we have a proposal about the svn structure. Actually, the
structure is /package/languages.po. This structure has a problem: if you
want to translate only a language, you have to checkout all languages .po
files (about 550 MB). So, we propose to change the structure by
/language/package.po. We believe that this solution could work better
(checkouts, permissions, ...). Think about it!

Ok, that's all. Excuse the wall of text. I hope it could be useful.
