Press Release 80

@@ +1 @@
+Dear OSGeo-Live contributors,
+
+We are excited to announce that after many months work, we have set up the Transifex platform to run OSGeo-Live translations [1], and we want help battle testing it in several languages.
+
+Transifex will hugely simplify and improve the sustainability of our translation experience (over our previous manual spreadsheet / git / .rst process). 
+
+* It offers machine translation.
+* It provides a review process.
+* It shows us what is changed in the English doc version.
+* It shows translation progress
+ 
+== What is involved ==
+
+We describe what to do in our first draft of the translator guide [2].
+For testing the infrastructure, translated files are needed. You can translate based on the priority mark, or on the amount of lines to be translated, or complete a translation that someone else started, or start with your own project. Note that we already marked files that don't need translation.
+
+Please tell us if the guide makes sense. (The guide is probably more for a reviewer than for a translator.)
+If the images below don't show in your mail, they are included in our translator guide [2]
+
+They are mark with a red >> on the left:
+
+[[File: OSGEo-Live_transifex_01_index.png  500px ]]
+
+After that testing phase, we will work on translating included projects, where people from the projects can help us.
+
+Those files generally start by overview-- or quickstart--  and are mark with an orange >
+
+[[File: OSGEo-Live_transifex_02_second_priority.png  500px ]]
+
+The files  marked with a green dash  don't need to be translated (and would be retired at some point).
+
+[[File: OSGEo-Live_transifex_03_retired_files.png  500px ]]
+
+Best way to start is to filter for v11 files and descending priority:

+[[File: OSGEo-Live_transifex_04_priority.png  500px ]]
+
+As you can see on the dashboard [3], we already have 8 languages registered waiting for translators:
+
+* finnish
+* french
+* german
+* greek
+* japanese
+* polish
+* spanish
+* Mexican spanish
+
+If you can help us translating those languages, or help us with another, please create an account on transifex and join us.
+
+Pro. tip: you can copy/paste translations from current documentation [5] or from github [6] and check whether it still fits in with the string to translate.
+
+If you have any question, please join us on IRC or on this mailing list.
