L10N Tools/zh-cn

= The Fedora Localization Project - Tools and Infrastructure =

This an overview of the tools the Fedora Localization Project uses. This is not a complete list.

Collaboration

 * We work in teams, with each team being responsible for a language/region. The central place to list teams is at L10N_Teams, which we try to keep more or less up to date. If your team is not listed there, please file a bug report.
 * Every team should have a maintainer/coordinator. This is the contact point for the team, so that someone could say "thanks!" or "can someone from the team fix file X because it's broken?".
 * Maintainers could be members of a special group,, to receive automatic notifications of new bugs being opened.

Website

 * The L10n Admin Group is responsible for the Infrastructure. Its members are Dimitris Glezos,  Diego Búrigo Zacarão,  Asgeir Frimannsson,  Ankit Patel.
 * Main website, used for viewing statistics and submitting translations: Transifex
 * Wiki space: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/L10N.
 * There exists a category for L10n.
 * Many localization teams/ambassadors have localized websites, hosted elsewhere. This is normal.

Repository access for translations

 * All translatable modules related to Fedora are listed on Transifex, together with the repository they are hosted on.
 * Some modules listed in Transifex can't be translated with it. Usually there are instructions for submitting translations in description of specific module. If not, open a bug report for the maintainer to commit your translation.
 * Project maintainers who would like to receive translations for their project should follow these instructions.

CVS of the Fedora Localization Project
The FLP has its own repository, to use it host project-specific resources (like the website, etc).

This repository is different from the repositories that host various software the FLP is translating.

The project's CVS space is on the l10n repository. Members of the  group have access to it.


 * Anonymous checkout:
 * Eponymous checkout:  and
 * Update your repository:  (best done before you start with your translation work)
 * Check your files:
 * Take a look at the status:
 * Commit your changed files:
 * Add a new file to the CVS:  then

Bugzilla
Useful Bugzilla pages:
 * Create a new bug report
 * List of all open l10n bugs
 * All Bugzilla L10n components
 * owners.list file is in FLP's CVS.

Mailing list
There are some mailing lists that interest members of the FLP.


 * The main list is trans, which holds discussions about translations, team coordination, etc.
 * Technical issues are discussed at i18n. If you are interested in more than translations, like eg. our websites, Bugzilla, the mailing list, etc, you would want to join this as well.
 * Each team with over 2-3 members should have it's own mailing list. To request this, please open a ticket at fedora infrastructure. If you are to discuss only translations, a name like  is appropriate (eg. trans-de). If you have bigger plans and would like at some point to address also end-users, a name like   could be considered.

IRC channel

 * on Freenode

Meetings

 * See: L10N Meetings

Commits list

 * We've setup the group 'l10n-commits' for those who'd like to receive emails for commits in the  repo and various other emails.
 * To subscribe, go to your account and add yourself to 'l10n-commits'. Unfortunately the system needs approval, so someone should jump in to approve you, which should happen really soon.
