Gnome Summary readers,
I see there are a lot of volunteers to help out with web issues.
Here's my two cents on where help would be needed in regards to
translation issues.
We need to have Gnome Summary page be multilingual (I suppose using
GNU.org and debian.org style is good enough -- base default on
"Accept-Language" HTTP field, preferably using built-in Apache
MultiViews mechanism, and offer all the languages on the bottom of
the page as well, for those not having option to define their own
language in a browser they use). This task probably means that close
ties with one of developer.gnome.org admins is an advantage ;)
Next, it would be nice if any of the XSL/XML hackeurs got onto
cleaning up XSLs so they'd be easier to translate, and also if they
came up with a nice syntax for including translation stats data from
http://kvota.net/sri/stats26.php (I'll provide that data in any form
one desires, it's not a problem).
I suppose something along the lines of
<translation-stats>
<language>
<rank>2</rank><!-- if it's easy to determine rank using XSL, this
might not be needed -->
<name>Serbian</name>
<translated>95.0</translated><!-- as percentage, a float -->
<fuzzy>3.0</fuzzy>
<untranslated>2.0</untranslated>
</language>
...
</translation-stats>
would be good enough, that would be transformed using XSLs to output
similar to http://kvota.net/sri/stats26.php for HTML, and a line like
I used before to send to desktop-devel-list:
1. Czech 100%
2. Serbian 95%
Spanish 95%
4. German 92%
...
For HTML generation, it should be possible to easily switch to using
comma as decimal point instead of, uhm, point (dot).
So, I hope it's enough activities for someone eager to help here -- I
just don't want all that enthusiasm to be wasted, so step right on,
folks :)
Cheers,
Danilo
