There is no automation in translation. Accessible translation memory are 
not good enough, and the few translators with the skills don't have the 
infrastructure to make any kind of automation.

Important or not important application to translate varies really much 
from one user to another. Selecting them may create useless conflicts ;)

True, but if the priority package groups 
(https://fedora.zanata.org/version-group/view/PriorityPackages) only 
have 9 languages with more that 90%. There is still a lot to do.

I understand, so if I rephrase:

1. As a translator, I want to be able to query a translation memory 
containing a wide range of content so that knowledge beyond Fedora 
community is accessible.

   this means: include in our translation memory translation from 
project out of the scope of the fedora translation community.

2. As a translator, I get suggestion from an automation translation 
engine based on a wide range of content to translate faster so that 
translation time is reduced.

   This means we have a tool we fed with our translation memory and 
train it to have better result.

3. As a localization coordinator, I can automatically complete existing 
translation using a translation memory using manual threshold so that 
useless operation for translators are limited.

4. As a localization coordinator, I can automatically complete existing 
translation using an automation translation engine manual threshold so 
that useless operation for translators are limited.

5. As a translator, I can ask for an automated translation of a file and 
review suggestion so that starting a new translation is faster.

4. As a localization coordinator, I have a tool to handle non-fedora 
translation content so that translation memory is continuously update.


Does it match what you wanted to say?
