<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="PADDING-LEFT: 1ex; MARGIN: 0px 0px 0px 0.8ex; BORDER-LEFT: #ccc 1px solid">I thought of bringing this to a broader audience. I suggested to my team<br>(Arabic translation team) while ago to have some sort of web interface to
<br>help non-technical ppl to contribute translation.<br><br>The idea was:<br><br>- Application that parse CVS po files<br>- Store the strings, headers, and translation into DB<br>- 3 interfaces:<br> o Contributor - where an authenticated user can view untranslated and
<br>fuzzy strings<br> and contribute translation from his browser.<br> o Maintainer - Approve translation and merge new translation, QA, ..etc.<br> o Admin - Populate DB with the PO files, generate PO files and
<br>check them<br> back to CVS where it can be later sync'd to Fedora<br>CVS.<br><br>Mohamed Ghoniem and Maha Helwa from the Arabic team volunteered to<br>contribute<br>a Java code. The work still going and we only got a parser for the PO files
<br>but we<br>wish to have full featured java application in the near future.<br><br>To check the current first initial code:<br><br><a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="http://www.arabic-fedora.org/po2db.tar.gz" target="_blank">
http://www.arabic-fedora.org/po2db.tar.gz </a><br><br>This code takes care of all PO components. It handles strings correctly<br>in UTF-8 charset, it works fine with Arabic, and it should handle anyother<br>charset and/or all languages supported by java.
<br><br>We thought to bring this to a broader audience and other teams as we think <br>this can be of a great help to all the translation effort. Also there maybe<br>other ideas that we can share.<br><br>Thanks<br><br>Sherif
