After submitting git-gui translations to a "mob" branch of a special repository, and not figuring out where to find and submit translation for gitk and main git itself, I would like to suggest adding these to Translation Project () since there is alreay infrastructure for handling PO translations to multiple languages there. -- \\// Peter - would like to see a full Swedish translation of git.* ``` ## Shawn O.

This looks like an interesting project. There certainly appears to be a wider range of languages and backgrounds than we have active on the git list doing translation work. As a maintainer it looks easy for me to use. Email in a POT file, rsync back the PO files a week or two later. But they ask to be the sole source for PO files for a package, for all languages, and the translaters may or may not make git a priority. I'm open to using it for git-gui. What do the other translators active on the list think? -- Shawn. ``` ## Miklos Vajna, 2008-03-24 01:43 Subject: Re: RFC: Use TranslationProject.org for git, gitk, git-gui Message-ID: <20080324014345.GW14567@genesis.frugalware.org> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/20080324014345.GW14567%40genesis.frugalware.org In-Reply-To: <20080315045913.GD8410@spearce.org> ``` On Sat, Mar 15, 2008 at 12:59:13AM -0400, "Shawn O.

What do the other translators > active on the list think? i think when we want a good translation, we want somebody, who: 1) understands how git works (as a user), so he/she won't misunderstand the messages to translate 2) is a good translator. i think it's hard to find someone who is good in both. probably the current translations are 1)-like, and TranslationProject.org provides a 2)-like one. not sure which one is better. ```
