[Sugar-devel] [IAEP] [SLOB] meeting reminder

[Tony Anderson]

I can't imagine the process is so simple. The overwritten translations 
were probably on translate.sugarlabs.org.

Sugar developers need to determine which Pootle files to install in an 
image. Each individual Sugar activity has an independent set of 
translations which needs to be updated into a new version of the Activity.

As Sugar, we need a process to handle this. I strongly believe it is a 
mistake to do perform localization directly on the Pootle server. It 
would be better
to do the localization at the locale and verify it by use by the native 
language speakers (primary school children). Update for activities is to 
submit new po
files in an updated version of the acitivity (version += 1). This 
process is under git version control. These updates, once vetted, can be 
updated on translate.sugarlabs.org. On a new Sugar release, OLPC or 
someone determines which activities and which versions of those 
activities to include in the image.
