G11n FAD Tokyo 2015

NextGen G11n workflow

• OpenStack continuous translations workflow (syncing strings from git, pushed back via gerrit)
• generic sync agent to replace Zanata clients (webapp or tool)
• use langpack packages to allow updating Fedora package translations (bit like man-pages-override)
• continous syncing of translations from github to Fedora Zanata and push back via pull-requests
• translations.org repo of translations of upstream packages
• Separating translations automatically in buildsystem
• upstream version tracking/configuration

GLibc locale sub-packaging prototyping and testing

• complexity of using current locale archive for updating, adding, removing with locale subpackaging
• copr repos for locale subdirs and locale archive approaches would allow more people to test

Fedora G11n Governance

• FeGSCo to replace FLSCo
• G11n WG (with FESCo liason) vs Fedora G11n subproject
• dilution of i18n and l10n focus
• elected members from i18n, l10n, Zanata, QA, etc
• half seats re-elected after 2 releases

Translation of Fedora core packages discussion

• upstream vs fedora instance
• allowing non-Fedora people to translate upstream packages in the Fedora instance
• really need unified Zanata instance with easy pull and push of package branch translations between Orgs (“Github for translations”)

Fedora String/Translation Schedule

• monitor/alert string breakages automatically for F24
