= OSGeoLive translation moved to weblate. Please get involved! =

31. March 2023

OSGeoLive translations will soon move from transifex to a OSGeo hosted deployment of weblate [1]. Please do not translate at transifex [2] anymore.

Please join the translation team. You only need your OSGeo-ID to login. 

If you do not have an OSGeo-ID please have a look at:

Create your own OSGeo-ID here https://id.osgeo.org/ldap/create . You can ask Vicky for the mantra. Please send a mail with subject "mantra for OSGeoLive" to vicky (dot) vergara (at) osgeo (dot) org. 
And please read the Getting started guide before https://www.osgeo.org/community/getting-started-osgeo/  

It is easy to translate via weblate. And you will discover that it is fun. And you will see that there are other projects already.

You find the instructions for translators here: https://weblate.osgeo.org/projects/osgeolive/#information

We can always add new instructions, give us feedback based on your experience on weblate.
Please subscribe to:
https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/osgeolive-doc
where we, translators and documentation reviewers, can interact.

Some languages are already available on weblate. Others are on the way:
* sv
* pt
* nl
* tr
* zh 
Some we haven't decided yet as not much work was done in transifex:
* polish
* russan
 
Please note that we do not use language extension any more, for example, only "pt" and not "pt_BR".

You are welcome to join our team!

It is one possibility to give something back to the project you like.
