Hello,
I tried transifex today for the german translation. It works fine and is
fun. Thanks Vicky and Nicolas for your great work.
Maybe we should mention that translators do not have to start from
scratch and can use the existing text snippets from
https://github.com/OSGeo/OSGeoLive-doc/ (or an archive branch that we
refer to)
Presse Release 80
https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Disc_Press_Release_80
It would be also good to add the links to IRC and mailing list at the
last sentence.
If you have any question, please join us on IRC or on this mailing list

Hi Nicolas,
Press release is fine. I've made a few changes [0]. I work on the
concept that "Less words get read more". Assume most people will only
read the first sentence or two.
I suspect that it would be useful to set up an OSGeo-Live-Translators
email list, which I suggest setting up before sending out this "call
to action" for translators. Send something like:
"I notice that you have translated OSGeo Live before. Are you still
keen to stay involved? (I hope so.) We are setting up an
OSGeo-Live-Translators email list, would it be ok if we included you
on the list?"
Cheers, Cameron

Hi Cameron
Here is my first draft email (I also prepared a press release
[4]). Can you review it before sending ?
Best,

Dear OSGeo-Live contributors,
As you might know, we are working on translating OSGeo-Live
Documentation using the Transifex Platform.
We choose that in order to provide a better translation experience
than the old .rst files and git one.
It will help us doc building process of course, but we also add
machine translation capabilities (thanks to <compagny name>) to help
translators.
It adds a review part too, that was sometimes not possible with the
old system (when the merger didn't speak the language), so it will
help us provide better quality documentation.
All that said, the platform is online [1], ready to test. So we need
early translators to battle test it with several languages, writing
systems and such.
We are in the moment where we can start testing the infrastructure
and our first draft of the translator guide [2].
For testing the infrastructure, translated files are needed, you
can translate based on the priority mark, or on the amount of lines
to be translated, or complete a translation that someone else
started, or start with your project. Note that we already marked
files that don't need translation. Some feedback about the guide is
100% useful. (probably the guide is more for a reviewer than for a
translator)
If the images below don't show in your mail, they are included in
our translator guide [2]
