Dear translators,
Anaconda[1] and DNF[2] gave the same answer today:
"Please can you delay migration and start after February 18? We are in
the middle of RHEL 8.2 localization cycle, our team is working in Zanata
and I want to minimize potential risk. Thanks."
It kinda bothers me a little bit. Please share your thoughts.
First assumption: the answer only concerns Anaconda and DNF projects.
1. Aren't we suppose to be upstream translation community for DNF and
Anaconda? What does the RHEL localization cycle have to do here? Why
March?
2. Fedora 32 schedule says string freeze is supposed to be reached at
end of January [3]
3. Whatever external translators are helping RHEL:
why wouldn't they be able to upload translations using Weblate? Same
if centralized by a Red Hat employee.
why wouldn't dev team use po merge features?
4. Migrating to Weblate for a translation team means to have a git
repository to host translation, which only implies development teams
Anyone with insights or advice on how to handle this?
