Thanks for pointing this out, Alick. I will need to update the Zanata files with the translations made over the last month on Transifex. Due to logistical issues at my end, the files currently on Zanata are one month old. Updating them should, if I understand correctly, merely entail pulling the translation files from Transifex and pushing them to Zanata. Before I do that though, I will need to disable submissions to the two guides on Transifex. As per Dimitri's explanation in [1], I should be able to do so at [2] and at the equivalent URL for every file. However, I'm forbidden from accessing that URL. Might I need to be the owner of the project to disable submissions? Can anyone give me any advice on this? In the meantime, could all translators please refrain from working on the Installation Guide and Installation Quick Start Guide in Zanata so that when I upload the updated files, your work isn't overwritten. My apologies for jumping the gun on this. Hopefully this can be sorted out quickly though. As for why these guides have shifted to Zanata, there are a couple of reasons: 1) Transifex can't handle the long filenames that the sheer size of the Install Guide necessitates, so we have to maintain some kind of mapping between the filename and the Transifex module names. This requires a massive amount of manual handling. 2) Pushing and pulling the 800 small files that comprise the Install Guide across the 20+ languages that we have partial translations for is prohibitive as the connection keeps failing. It's a shame that we have to use another platform for these guides, but it's sadly unavoidable. I'm hoping to make the process as painless as possible, particularly once these initial hiccups are cured.

Since some translations are now managed on Zanata, I tried to become part of it. Logging in was no problem, and I found the Swedish team, and requested to join. Shortly after, I got an auto-reply, which I didn't have time to look at at the time. (A disk crash came in the way. :-( ) This was a week ago. I went back to this now, and found that I'm still not member of the Swedish team. Furthermore, according to the page, while the team does seem to exsist, it has no members at all. Taking a second look at the auto-mail I got it looks as if it was aimed at at the team coordinator, not just a confirmation to the requester. It contains language such as "Dear Language Team Coordinator". The mail has a link to a ticketing system at engineering.redhat.com. That address doesn't resolve, it is probably a Red Hat internal thing. And at the end of the mail, there are instructions to go to the page for the Swedish team and "Add Team Member". But there is no such button on that page when I go there. I get the impression I have become the coordinator for the Swedish team at Zanata, but not completely. I am tha coordinator at Transifex, so it wouldn't be completely surprising if I was automatically assigned the role at Zanata too. My email address was obviously used for the request mail. But when logging in, I don't have the permissions I need to perform any coordinator tasks. Like adding myself to the team! :-) Or maybe I just don't understand what is going on here. Is the problem on my side? Anybody knows the correct place to turn?

Runa Bhattacharjee: Thanks! It works now.

Hi Jack, I saw different languages in the said project, but after sign in with fedora username, I cannot find out how to translate. The "Help" section of website is also completely blank. Do you have any guide for this? Tks! Regards, Lex 2012/7/24 Jack Reed <jreed(a)redhat.com&gt;

написане Tue, 24 Jul 2012 04:38:05 +0300, Jack Reed <jreed(a)redhat.com&gt;: Hi, What is the publishing procedure on Zanata-based guides? Is it the same as for Transifex [1]? What is the general policy of Documentation team on translation, does the appearance of new guides on Zanata mean that we should prepare to Zanata migration? Thanks in advance for your answers.
