Re: [Audacity-translation] enough is enough

[Cleber T. <cle...@gm...>]

Well, first of all, let me apologize for that little hot-headed email ...

We have two issues to solve here.

First, the release frequency. The stables are getting longer and longer to
be released, and a lot of distros are just including the beta within their
packages. And what's the problem with that? In Brazil, e.g., we have a law
reducing taxes for desktops with linux, so it's quite common to sell
desktops with some sort of Linux, usually a small distro, supported only in
that particular hardware.

And, we end up shipping thousands of computers with an unfinished version of
Audacity, partially translated, with parts in english and parts in
portuguese.

So, it's not a wish, but a demand to have a litle more effort driven to the
translations at beta releases.

Second, regarding the PO workflow:

Groekenfold said that:

*"I think moving to Pootle would solve a lot of these problems and make
the process of translation and collaboration a lot more transparent
and accessible for new possible translators, although of course it
does involve some work setting it all up.*"

I think it's time to try this solution.

The ideal situation would be if we could run our own pootle server, but it
would be fine to have it in another server as well.

But, what we had this very same discussion before and no decision taken on.
This time I hope it will be different.

How do the other translators see this change?
