Translators, Because Transifex 0.8.0devel brings some nice features compared to the version we're currently running (and also some needed fixes in the code and appliance), I'm thinking about making the switch once some minor issues are fixed. However there are some changes in for example the online translator that make is harder to use when updating translations, SO IT'S UP TO YOU GUYS whether we switch or stick with 0.7.3.
Some of the biggest changes: The online translator (Lotte) now generates server-side pages, which means the 200 strings limit is removed. The downside is they haven't implemented filtering (see http://transifex.org/ticket/378), so what you will get is something like this: http://foo-projects.org/~nick/screenshots/tx-01.png. Makes it hard to find that 1 string that is fuzzy or untranslated. Translation teams have been added, which is a good thing. It gives a nice overview which users are translating in a language and also handles permissions (you can only edit/update/lock your language) and probably more i haven't figured out yet . See http://foo-projects.org/~nick/screenshots/tx-02.png and http://foo-projects.org/~nick/screenshots/tx-03.png. A downside of this is that you cannot share translation teams between projects. To work around this i wrote some sql we can run on the server (cronjob) to automatically setup the groups, this will render the add/delete/join features in a team useless, but we're not going to manage 3762 teams by hand (99 projects, 38 languages). It requires setting the right language in your user profile and being in the correct group (translators group, so introduction on this ml is still required, + valid registration etc). Of course you can easily join another group by changing the language in your profile, but i hope you guys are mature enough to not abuse that ;-), ie. not worse then what we have right now. So what will it be? 0.7.3 or wait until the online translator supports filtering...
