Re: Proposal for manuals translation process

 

I agree that we should define our objectives with respect to translations.
And we should also define the criteria of the translation web tool. There
are three
tools mentioned in the community now: Launchpad, Transifex and Pootle.
They have their own characteristics. The strength and the shortage are
different.
Before we start selection, we need to decide the criteria, and the
priorities of the required features.

How can we start this work? Shall we start by a vote?
