Re: [NSIS-devel] Where is an instruction for submitting translation corrections?

[Amir S. <ki...@gm...>]

You're right. The tracker is probably a better option than the forums. I
used to go over the forum and add new stuff, but haven't in a while. I
tried always including the original translator's opinion,
manually verifying changes myself and keeping everyone in the loop with
nsis-translations mailing list. But the process is problematic for all the
reasons you have mentioned and translators do tend to disappear,
even immediately after the initial submission. It's not usually their
interest to stick around. They simply want to share their translation which
was only for their installer.

I always thought the ideal solution would be a website where people can
upload and vote on translations. Each language can have multiple
translations and we will only include the best one. New translations will
have to get a certain number of votes before inclusion in the installer,
but can still be downloaded.

Maybe we can use something like http://translatewiki.net/ ...?
