Hi,

Ledgersmb.org relation: You should put the link to here, if you think it is valuable for the community

We can put it there if you would like. Sure, thank you!

Yes, this system uses Pootle in Bitnami stack. I had to hack a little to get it work as expected, but seems working for a long time now.

Regarding the contribution as translator, as I do the Hungarian translation, here is my practice:

I do mass translation on pootle.

Download and put the new po file into work on my development system.

Check the context of the existing translation.

When I decide to share, I file the new translation file to the Sourceforge as Proposal and/or send the new file directly to Chris to include it in the next release.

If you are running this, you might be a good person to help translators do this. Sure, no problem, this is why I wrote you :)

As this translation system is open, everybody can download the recent translation file from this system, even automatically:

Just create a script to get the recent version automatically, downloading a link, like this:
http://translate.startit.hu/pootle/export/LedgerSMB-1.3/hu/LedgerSMB-1.3.po
So, daily update is not a problem.

My opinion, it would be nice to involve "official translators", who should discuss translation related questions, because there are accountant-language-like expressions, ordenary people has no idea, what does it mean.

If you are running this, you might be a good point of contact for this. Are you interested in working on building the translator community there?

Sure, the core infrastructure is there. Probably a translator mailing list (or lists for different languages) will be useful in the future:
for example: lsmb-translators@ lsmb-hu-translators@ etc.

Best Wishes,

Chris Travers
