About translation with Crowdin

Open DursunCanPoyraz opened this issue 4 years ago • 6 comments

I used to translate with GitHub repo. I want to continue Turkish translation with Crowdin. But the translation pages are very old and the usage of Crowdin is different. Can you authorize my [email protected] email address on Crowdin? To approve translations.

https://github.com/flarum/docs/pull/154

Some file contents to be translated are missing, still outdated. for Turkish language.

I believe your email should already be authorized as a translator on crowdin?

My translations appear as suggestions. I translated the documents when I was in beta. Now the documentation has received huge updates. It is necessary to synchronize documents. Some pages even merged. I am having a hard time translating.

Hmm, try now, I've set you and other active contributors to be proofreaders

@askvortsov1 Moving the question of quality over to the authority of roles doesn't actually work that well, because now the question is who became a proofreader first. For everyone else, translations are held up in voting. This is especially true of smaller languages, where the first mover has precedence. Consider using Weblate btw.

In an ideal world, perhaps. But this is a community effort driven by volunteers, and I don't see how imposing bureaucracy and measures that would deliberately increase friction would be worth it, especially at our current stage.

Consider using Weblate btw.

Weblate doesn't support markdown anywhere near as well as crowdin: https://github.com/WeblateOrg/weblate/issues/3106

I'm happy to say that Weblate is now supporting Markdown, since 5.0 which came out this summer :) https://github.com/WeblateOrg/weblate/pull/9597
