There are publishing instructions in the Documentation Guide, but it
occurs
to me now that a few bits of the SOP that are missing :
- publishing needs membership in the docs-writers and docs-publishers
groups. Many translation team leads have been sponsored into these groups to
allow publishing, and we are happy to sponsor more.
- publish from the release branch, ie f20, not master. Commit your POs to
make life easy if we need to republish.
- after publishing, open your local copy of web.git and look it over before
committing to that repo. In particular, check the menu structure. Strange
things can happen.
- As Chris said, there is currently no notification for when translations
reach 100%, and you might want to publish sooner. It isn't uncommon to see
code snippets or command output as untranslated strings, for example, since
there's little reason to translate those. I might be able to get such
notifications going, but it would require some consensus among the l10n
group on what is considered "ready for publishing".
Also, I like having translation team leads do the publishing because it
gives them the opportunity to do a final review and build test. I can and
do correct obvious markup issues, but I can only push changed strings back
to projects I manage. I can't assess the language I'm correcting, just the
markup structure.
Ok, thanks for the details, I will discuss with my team about how to
include publish steps into our workflow
