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,
