          Hi,
            

            I'm a member of G11n in Fedora working mainly on
              translations and Zanata (platform we used for
              translation).
            

            There is a suggestion in the group of seeing the
              possibility to get Fedora Magazine localised to reach out
              more to users. 

            
    Hi alex!

    
    We have discussed this in the past, but not much really came of it
    TBH, so thanks for bringing this up again! It is defninely something
    that I would love to see happen

    
            For initial investigation, few questions I would like
              to ask,
            

            1) What type file format does Fedora Magazine created
              in? (Raw format like txt, po, xml?)
          
        
    Everything is stored in Wordpress -- the "source" of the posts could
    be classed as a HTML snippet however, which may be able to be placed
    into Zanata. There are also a bunch of different plugins for
    wordpress that could be investigated to see if we could use those to
    distribute localized content (this is where previous discussions
    focused on IIRC) 

    
            2) What is the usual timeframe for QA on the content
              before it is publish? (if localised, we might need to
              schedule QA for translations)
          
        
    SOme posts are published straight away, especially the news-style
    posts that link to other content. The longer form articles like
    how-tos and release announcements usually are ready and waiting for
    publishing a few days in advance. There is really no offciial "QA"
    of posts really yet however.

    
            3) Is it possible to get a copy of the file for
              previous Fedora Magazine? Would like to do some testing on
              Zanata.
          
        
    If you log in to the magazine with your FAS account using this
    procedure --
    http://fedoramagazine.org/logging-into-fedora-magazine-with-fas/ and
    ping this thread once you have done that, an editor can grant your
    FAS account author status, and you should be able to pull the source
    for each post.

    
    The other piece of the puzzle is the localization of the actual
    theme, and the source for the theme is available here --
    https://pagure.io/fedoramagazine-theme -- i'll need to do some
    investigation on both fronts to see how all this works with
    wordpress.

    
    cheers,
