    Hi all,

    In a conversation with other translators yesterday, the subject of
    localized images in Ubuntu Docs came up.

    We were wondering how to make it easier for everyone to be able to
    provide images in their language, other than starting to submit
    branch proposals to the Ubuntu docs bzr branch (not everyone is
    familiar with bzr).

    One idea that came up was to set up an Ubuntu One share with the
    content of the upstream branch's ubuntu-help folder, i.e:

    ast/figures
    az/figures
    bs/figures
    C/figures

    Once the documentation string freeze is over, we could open the
    share and translators should only need to:

    - fetch the source images from C/figures
    - create their localized images
    - copy then to their <locale>/figures folder

    Then once the NonLanguagePackTranslationDeal__ine is reached, we
    could submit a merge proposal against the upstream ubuntu-docs
    branch with the contents of the share.

    I believe this would make it easy for translators to provide the
    localized images (just copy images to a folder instead of dealing
    with Bazaar) and easy for members of the docs team to include them
    (just need to accept a single merge proposal).

    If you all think it could be a good idea, I'd be happy to set up the
    share and organize all the rest.

    Let me know what you think.


On the issue of how to visualise what figures are needed or what needs
updating,
I think it's nice to have a feature similar to GNOME's, as in
http://l10n.gnome.org/module/evolution/help/master/es/images/
which shows in the first column the original screenshot and in the right
column any provided localisations.

I like the Ubuntu One idea for the collection of the screenshots.

Since all the files (including figures) in the launchpad repositories 
are brows-able and located in a predictable URL-folderstructure, it 
shouldn't be much trouble to make a primitive version of a page like 
that. If no-one else wants to do it, I can help with it. We just need 
somewhere to drop the files on a webserver with php.
Regards Kenneth

PS: What would off course be even easier would be if we had a access to a server that could run a bzr pull on a cronjob, but that raises the demands a bit.
