Move to another translation service

Open florianfesti opened this issue 6 years ago • 2 comments

Looks like my suspicion about Zanata where justified and the service is not longer properly supported. So we either need to move somewhere else or have translations edited via GitHub pull requests.

https://hosted.weblate.org seems like a possible solution.

Do any translators have an opinion/advice on this?

Hello,

I once contributed to the FreeCAD translation project for the French language. This project uses Crowdin to translate .po and .ts files. Here is the FreeCAD project on Crowdin, and FreeCAD's localization documentation. I receive requests to translate new strings by mail every now and then, when new strings are to be translated, which I believe are discovered via some Git integration. I found it was an overall good experience.

Crowdin features a Github integration which can push approved translations in a i10n branch as a PR, and they are free for FOSS projects.

Another software I used in the past was Transifex, also free for FOSS projects.

I am not affiliated with any software, but I'm simply interested in contributing to the localization of the software in French !
