Hi,

I'm a member of G11n in Fedora working mainly on translations and Zanata (platform we used for translation).

There is a suggestion in the group of seeing the possibility to get Fedora Magazine localised to reach out more to users.

Hi alex!

We have discussed this in the past, but not much really came of it TBH, so thanks for bringing this up again! It is defninely something that I would love to see happen

For initial investigation, few questions I would like to ask,

1) What type file format does Fedora Magazine created in? (Raw format like txt, po, xml?)

Everything is stored in Wordpress -- the "source" of the posts could be classed as a HTML snippet however, which may be able to be placed into Zanata. There are also a bunch of different plugins for wordpress that could be investigated to see if we could use those to distribute localized content (this is where previous discussions focused on IIRC)

2) What is the usual timeframe for QA on the content before it is publish? (if localised, we might need to schedule QA for translations)

SOme posts are published straight away, especially the news-style posts that link to other content. The longer form articles like how-tos and release announcements usually are ready and waiting for publishing a few days in advance. There is really no offciial "QA" of posts really yet however.

3) Is it possible to get a copy of the file for previous Fedora Magazine? Would like to do some testing on Zanata.

If you log in to the magazine with your FAS account using this procedure -- http://fedoramagazine.org/logging-into-fedora-magazine-with-fas/ and ping this thread once you have done that, an editor can grant your FAS account author status, and you should be able to pull the source for each post.

The other piece of the puzzle is the localization of the actual theme, and the source for the theme is available here -- https://pagure.io/fedoramagazine-theme -- i'll need to do some investigation on both fronts to see how all this works with wordpress.
