I thought of bringing this to a broader audience. I suggested to my team (Arabic translation team) while ago to have some sort of web interface to help non-technical ppl to contribute translation. The idea was: - Application that parse CVS po files - Store the strings, headers, and translation into DB - 3 interfaces: o Contributor - where an authenticated user can view untranslated and fuzzy strings and contribute translation from his browser. o Maintainer - Approve translation and merge new translation, QA, ..etc. o Admin - Populate DB with the PO files, generate PO files and check them back to CVS where it can be later sync'd to Fedora CVS. Mohamed Ghoniem and Maha Helwa from the Arabic team volunteered to contribute a Java code. The work still going and we only got a parser for the PO files but we wish to have full featured java application in the near future. To check the current first initial code: http://www.arabic-fedora.org/po2db.tar.gz This code takes care of all PO components. It handles strings correctly in UTF-8 charset, it works fine with Arabic, and it should handle anyother charset and/or all languages supported by java. We thought to bring this to a broader audience and other teams as we think this can be of a great help to all the translation effort. Also there maybe other ideas that we can share.
