[Typo3-doc] [Translation]

[Sylvain Viart]

Hi,

hooo! Such a long thread guys.
Thanks for your time. (mine too, reading it) ;-)

I think that you will be agree with me that there is not much real 
content in your words that will help me to take the decision. :-\

First, my name spells Sylvain. I hope to have more respect with my own 
name than with DocTEAM or TYPO3 case spelling. :-P

Well, about translation, if you've read my post about Kasper rely, you 
see that he gives us the charge to find a translation workflow. It seems 
some of your are often involved in translation, I would be happy that 
someone offer part of his time to drive the DocTEAM translation process.

Any volunteer ?

I update the proposed workflow for documentation translation:
http://wiki.typo3.org/index.php/Talk:Alternative_Language#Translation_guideline_.28proposal.29

1. English is the main priority language for TYPO3 documentation.
2. Fix the documentation structure.
3. If translator comes during the step 2 they can:
    * Write in English if they can, and ask for grammar and spell
      checking.
    * If you are foreign speaker and have written a text in your native
      language, ask for help about English translation, the DocTEAM will
      find some native English reviewer to help you. (? I hope)
4. Translation workflow from English to foreign language, must wait until
    we established the structure at step 2, please offer your talent to
    something else.
5. If you really need to translate a manual right now, ask the DocTEAM
    for help.

Yes, may be, but that old proposition is not bad too:
http://wiki.typo3.org/index.php/Typo3Wiki_bugs_and_suggestions#Multiple_language_documentation

It will help us managing only one Matrix for the moment.

I will also find a process to collect peoples spoken/written language.
