Pitch: Sharing success of Fedora translation sprint with readers

Hi All,

  We had fantastic translation sprint from 1st to 5th April. Overall 50+
participants in sprint with 18 language and number of packages with around
20000 words translated.

   I think it will be good to share this to Magazine readers. One idea i
specifically wanted to push with is translation is low barrier and good
chance for users to get converted into contributor for there own language.

    Any opinions?

Thanks,
Pravin

Excellent idea, definitely should highlight the incredible amount of
translation done within such a short amount of time.

+1 from me

Hi Pravin,

We briefly discussed this pitch in the CommOps meeting when we were 
talking about the vFAD in general. Seems like you and I had the same 
idea. :)

I was thinking whether it would be better to publish this on the 
Community Blog or the Magazine, but I think doing an update to our 
community of readers about the translation status of Fedora 24 is a good 
idea. I think it will match up with our target audience on the Magazine.

I'm inclined to think Ryan and Paul would also agree that this is a good 
article for the Magazine, so I am going to say you are all clear to 
begin working on the draft for this article! Once you have more progress 
and the article is ready for review, please follow up on this list with 
a link to your draft.

Looking forward to reading more about this! :)

It's a very nice idea, specially because it's an usual complaint from
many non-English users.  "It's half translated"  "I don't get
it"
"Everything is in English"  "The programme is fine but
Help/Documentation isn't in my language"  ETC.

This will show that translations are improving every day, is an easy
way to contribute and that Fedora and its community is interested in
non-English speakers users as much as English speakers.


My thoughts,
Sylvia

I would like to see such an article in the Magazine focus instead on
the process of becoming involved as a translator, or how to use the
translation tools to contribute.

Tools that explain team progress are less interesting to our end-user
audience than concrete tips or how-to articles.

I think it would work great on the Community Blog.
