Hi translators and potential colleagues,
I'm about to record an audio tutorial explaining our translations process,
as well as to add a translations seminar at the upcoming NVDA conference.
As for the tutorial/seminar, here's the outline I'm proposing:
1. What is involved in NVDA translation?
2. How to join the translations workflow.
3. Software needed: SVN client, Poedit, a Unicode-aware text editor
4. Checking out and committing files
5. Understanding, translating and testing your main and add-on
interface translations
6. How symbols and character descriptions work and how to translate
them.
7. Translating, testing and refining documentation.
8. Tips on translations workflow: testing documentation, file
encoding, braces in po files and so on.
9. Working in groups: process management, new maintainers and
communicating deadlines.
10. Key terms and dates to remember: translatable string freeze,
translation submission deadline for a release and so on.
I expect the tutorial (or the seminar) to take no more than an hour. If a
seminar is desirable, it'll be held on the second day of the NVDACon (March
21st) as second to last session. If a tutorial is preferred, I can record it
(or someone can record it as well) and will be available sometime next
month.
Please let me know (preferably offlist) if you have comments on the
tutorial/seminar contents and your preferred mode of information (tutorial
or a seminar). Thanks.
Cheers,
Joseph
