Tutorial/Classroom session - L10N using Weblate

[Shehroz Kaleem]

Dear All Fellow Fedora People!

I have started work on a proposed Tutorial/Classroom session about L10N, I
have created a slideshow; to accompany my tutorial video.

I am presenting my draft for record and input from the community.

These are the links to my slide https://switch.shehroz.pk/L10N-Slide.pdf &
https://switch.shehroz.pk/L10N-Slide.odp

Similarly i have opened an issue on pagure to track the progress, you can
see this here https://pagure.io/fedora-join/Fedora-Join/issue/217

Any kind of input/suggestion is welcome; feel free to say about it.

Ciao!
Shehroz

P.S. If you see this multiple time; Pardon myself, i have sent this to
multiple mailing lists.

Thanks very much! This will be a great session.

Could you include a short blurb on:

- What is the difference between I18N (internationalisation) and L10N
  (localisation)? (And how do these work in Fedora?)

I always forget and end up searching online. I think it's the kind of
thing where the difference may not be clear to everyone too :)

[Shehroz Kaleem]

Yes! that is a tip, certainly a good idea. Thank you!

AFAIK i18n is the process of generalizing concepts / features of Software;
to make it useful and simple for general crowd.

Where as l10n is the process of making the software fit for a particular
purpose / group.

I hope this is helpful, and explained this correctly ;-)

Yes, I think that sounds right. It's just that the two sounds so similar
to a newbie like me that I'd often get confused XD

I always end up here whenever I search for this:
https://blog.mozilla.org/l10n/2011/12/14/i18n-vs-l10n-whats-the-diff/

[Shehroz Kaleem]

This definition is even better :-)

Thanks for sharing.

By the way i will upload the tutorial video to YouTube momentarily..
