I believe it would be good if we give translators a list of recommendations on what to translate and the priority of that translation. For example, `homepage` is of very high priority (highly visible, small), one should translate the PO inside the `devel` directory but also FC-6 (and notify us if we really need to push an update) and it would be OK to do it now because it will get very few changes before the release. These are a lot of information for each of our docs, but I think such a page with detailed information for all our Docs would be highly beneficial for all. The only page related to what I mention is '/wiki/Docs'. Here's a list of things we might want to consider listing for each of our Docs: * Name * Short name * Target audience * Maintained at * Published at Translation-specifics: * Exposure / priority * Need to translate also non-devel branch? (ie, will it be republished?) * Start translating at * Stop translating at Do you think this is unnecessary, not rational? Comments? I've also prepared a very quick page for new translators, over at: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/L10N/Join Please make any corrections & suggestions before we announce it. did-you-know-that Q of the day ------------------------------ Did you know that... ...probably more than 2500 people have contributed translations to the Fedora Project?
