Hi Laura, > 3.- Which are the next steps? (I guess attack the Perl scripts,
I'd love to help with those scripts but I'm afraid I lack the experience of the translation team to understand what is that needs to be done. I found the issues listed on the wiki page WebsiteGitTransition, but I can't figure out the changes that need to be made in the Perl scripts from those. Thus, if someone could elaborate on the details I may provide some code. In particular, I think it'd be best to split the scripts from the translations in webwml repo, so they could evolve separatedly and the scripts could be migrated to salsa sooner. > or find a way of facilitating translators the work to keep > translations in sync with the "english" folder).

I like the idea of using PO files for translating very much, since I was member of the translations team for GNU website long time ago. I would've loved to have something like Weblate... Some time after I left, Yavor Doganov created GNUnited Nations, also based on PO files, though it isn't packaged for Debian either. Therefore, I think moving to PO files would be worth the effort the sooner the better. Even if that means breaking the current workflow for a while, it sure will help getting more people into translating Debian texts. Hope this helps, Alex
