Re: Technical feasibility to translate a project on Github

[Daniel Mustieles García <daniel mustieles gmail com>]

Hi Thibault,

I have some questions about this, hope you can help us with them

1 .To have a better idea about the necessary work for this, how many translatable strings (aprox) Flatpak Software has?

2. Are those translatable strings in a PO file format? If answer is no, which format does it use and which tool is recommended for it?

3 - If finally DL is not able to directly commit translations, how will be the workflow to send and commit them?

In a first stage I would not opposite to this idea, but I would like to solve these questions before giving a final vote (just my personal opinion about this, it would be necessary other coordinator's opinion).

Thanks in advance

Hello,

Thanks for this quick answer Claude. So that solves the technical
feasibility.

Now the audience for this question would probably be the translation
coordinators: would we accept to take the responsibility of translating
flatpak software?

Best,
