That's what I mean. As I mentioned, this topic has been resurfaced multiple times in the past 10 years I have been around but nobody from GNOME has ever pointed out what is the workflow for this kind of decision. Most of these conversations usually end with "There's no plan from GNOME", but who makes the "plans"? Where can I submit one? Nobody tells you what's the first step to take. Is it enough to contact "GNOME system administrators" and ask them to "install weblate"? Who should decide whether Weblate is good or maybe we should go with another solution like Mozilla's Pontoon? Can I just make that decision? If I gather answers to those questions, where should I put them? Who should I give them to? > Ciao, > Emmanuele. > >> On Mon, Jun 22, 2020 at 4:09 PM Baurzhan Muftakhidinov via gnome-i18n >> <gnome-i18n@gnome.org> wrote: >> > >> > Hi Kukuh, >> > >> > What I found is https://docs.weblate.org/en/weblate-3.10/workflows.html >> > >> > IMHO the Weblate's translation workflow is simpler than DL's. >> > While DL operates on PO file level, Weblate operates on individual >> > messages, >> > which effectively makes several stages from DL workflow unnecessary. >> > >> > Contributors can have suggestion or translation rights.
