Hi.
This is to remind you about one week there's left for the L10N teams coordinators to sync the four-letter and the two-letter resources before the duplicate teams get removed from Transifex.
The transifex-client package to give the coordinators ability to remove the duplicate groups one by one isn't ready. AFAIK, most L10N teams coordinators have no *write* access to the duplicate teams because they have never been granted the coordinatorship. That means, should the tx-client package have arrived by August 15th, it would be useless without the project maintainers still involved. So let's just stick with the current deadline and then we can ask the project maintainers to remove all the duplicate teams at once.
According to the thread discussion, the following teams are to be REMOVED:
as_IN
bg_BG
bs_BA
ca_ES
cz_CZ
da_DK
de_DE
el_GR
fa_IR
fi_FI
fr_FR
gu_IN
he_IL
hi_IN
hr_HR
hu_HU
id_ID
is_IS
it_IT
jp_JP
kn_IN
ko_KR
lt_LT
lv_LV
ml_IN
ms_MY
nb_NO
nl_NL
or_IN
pa_IN
pl_PL
ru_RU
sr_RS
sr_RS at latin
sk_SK
sv_SE
ta_IN
te_IN
uk_UA
vi_VN
The following teams are to be LEFT INTACT:
bn_IN (is different from bn)
zh_CN (as opposed to zh_TW and zh_HK)
I hereby include the original message in case someone has been on vacation and missed it. There are step-by-step instructions given.

> The docs translation period starts in two months, it would be nice for the l10n teams with duplicate language resources on Transifex to have their resources justified.
>
> From what requires action, the duplicate resources named as regional codes (like ru_RU or es_ES) hold our previous work. While the resources named as language identifiers (like ru or es) are out of sync or contain empty translations. It means that the project translators would lose progress if the project maintainers kill the duplicates now. The progressed modules need to be merged in the right place, where these would be available to the teams members afterwards. This is to be done by the l10n coordinators.
>
> There's also a deadline to be set so we don't make the cleanup an endless process. August 15th, 2011, seems to be enough, in case someone's on vacation. That's 2 weeks before the docs translation period starts and about 1.5 month from now. Then we may ask the project maintainers to run a script to remove all those language resources.
>
> The merging task can be accomplished by using the Transifex-client tool available in Fedora repository. You will need the language remapping capability introduced in version 0.5.2, which is currently in the testing repo. To use now, run:
> su -c "yum install transifex-client --enablerepo=*testing"
> or update using the testing repo:
> su -c "yum update transifex-client --enablerepo=*testing"
>
> Please give the package transifex-client-0.5.2-1.fc15.noarch [1] good karma so it would land in the stable repo soon.
>
> The procedure has been summarized before [3], there's also a complete manual to the tool [4]. It took me less time because I only downloaded one language I wanted. For instance, to update the Virtualization Guide I did:
>
> 1. configure the tool to use the chosen resource:
> a. create a folder, say, "transifex" in the home dir and cd into it
> b. [misha at pc transifex] $ tx init
> c. [misha at pc transifex] $ tx set --auto-remote https://www.transifex.net/projects/p/fedora-virtualization-guide/
>
> 2. pull the "ru_RU" translation modules:
> a. [misha at pc transifex] $ tx pull -l ru_RU
>
> 3. use language remapping to push the modules as "ru":
> a. remap the language by adding the line "lang_map = ru:ru_RU" to the main section of ~/transifex/.tx/config [5]
> b. [misha at pc transifex] $ tx push --translations -l ru
>
> 4. delete the local files
>
> You may be able to do the whole docs collection at once using
> $ tx set --auto-remote https://www.transifex.net/projects/p/fedora/r/fedora-15-docs/
> as soon as the corresponding ticket [6] is closed.
