Hello Dimitris,

I don't remember if I brought this up in the past, but some people have suggested to add a tool to our translation infrastructure for doing translations online. Some translators might prefer it, so we could have that too (as long as it integrates with our existing workflow).
Benefits: more people working on the same translation, lower barrier to entry, easier to handle big files, tools have workflow embedded (reviews etc).
To the folks that are interested in working on our l10n toolchain, here's a small task: Interested in investigating this a bit more? :)
+1, I think that this is what Fedora Translation project really needs. If I look at ubuntu (lunchpad) or jamendo.com, I see that this strategy works in awesome way!
Please, count me in for help!
Some Qs that we'd need answered: What tools are out there (eg. Pootle)? How do they interface with the VCS and what are the options for authentication? What are their requirements in terms of software and infrastructure?
- From system point of view, I'm not sure what's the best. But form I've heard pootle isn't so bad.
- Regarding authentication processes, I think everybody should be free to translate without login, but for direct commit only few people (team leads) would have ability to commit translated text.
- I would integrate it to transfix, what do you think? How much work is it?

Thank you,
