Description

This is a portion of the ongoing reorganization of the Drupal.org handbook.

This is the chapter on contributing translations for the Drupal project.

It should incorporate and/or cover the same material as existing handbook sections about translation, but should be changed so as not to require CVS anymore.

Well, CVS is still needed, and will be until the common translation server at translation_or_something_like_that.drupal.org is up and going.

However, the following information should be added:

  • There are two different ways of working on translations, the old one (po-files) and local translation servers
  • Telling people to look at http://drupal.org/project/l10n_server to see if there's a local server for their language
  • Describing how to set up your own server if you want one, and there isn't one for your language
  • ...and mentioning the bright and shining future of the common server, of course :-)

I've started a draft for a handbook page (or pages) on localization servers here: http://groups.drupal.org/node/10959. I'll add it to the handbook when it's finished.
