Hey all! As you might have already figured out, we are trying to make it easier for translators to contribute to Fedora. Also, we are trying to make the L10N Project more like the rest of the Fedora Projects: with its own group, processes and identity. Here is an overview of the current and future translation process. i18n.redhat.com --------------- This is the "standard" system for translations so far (also called 'elvis'). To contribute here, you need to have a special account on the system and you get the usual web interface to statistics. Once F7 is out, we are moving all Fedora software away from this system. ** NOTE: ** Translations for Fedora software will CONTINUE on this system until the release of F7. cvs.fedoraproject.org --------------------- This system hosts all that has to do with Fedora, including Documentation. In fact, as mentioned earlier, once F7 is out, all Fedora-specific software (`anaconda`, `system-config-*`, etc) will move here too. ** NOTE: ** Translations for Documentation are done on this system NOW. If you would like to contribute with translations to Docs for the Fedora 7 release (browser homepage, release notes, install guide, etc), you need to create a Fedora Account and request 'cvsl10n' membership now. 1. If you already have a Fedora Account, request membership to `cvsl10n`: https://admin.fedora.redhat.com/accounts/userbox.cgi?_edit=1 2. If you don't have a Fedora Account, please create one and join the group: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/L10N/Join This group is a special CVS group for translators: It has access to all `po` directories for projects hosted on `cvs.fedoraproject.org`. Those of you who already have `cvsdocs` but only contribute to Docs with translations, can safely remove `cvsdocs` from your list. Probably some of the above might sound confusing or daunting. Any questions, clarifications, feel free to ask. I hope that eventually we will increase the coverage of our translations. The default browser homepage in FC6 had only the following translations: Brazilian Portuguese, Greek, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Spanish, Swedish, and US English. Where is *your* language on that list? How about making the browser homepage localized in 50 languages? :) -d PS: I wrote the `/L10N/Join` page quickly, so it might contain mistakes.
