Next step: asking the teams what glossary they use, if any.

Could be helpful to version the glossaries via Git too.

For the German translations I tried to follow the Gnome guidelines
https://wiki.gnome.org/de/Uebersetzung
and their glossaries
https://wiki.gnome.org/de/StandardUebersetzungen and
https://wiki.gnome.org/de/Uebersetzung/Dokumentationen

For words not in these lists it was helpful to see
how they are translated (or not translated) in Wikipedia.

The french team is using this one:

http://open-tran.eu/

which does not work for the moment…

Italian team here. Cannot speak for other people in the team, but I’m
using this one [1], which is a bit old but still good for some terms,
with this [2], which is not properly a glossary but a series of
typographical and grammatical guidelines on how to translate free software
programs.

Not really up-to-date in german apparently: https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/torproject/glossary/l/de/

An opensource alternative to open-tran, available for several languages: https://amagama-live.translatehouse.org/

About Transifex glossaries: I wasn’t able to download an up-to-date version, even after registering. I sent them an email about that.

Answer from Transifex:

> I just checked your profile and noticed that you are not a member of any Organization/Project at the moment, in order to be able to following instructions

> What you should do (with the right credential), in order to download a glossary, is click on the Project you want on your Dashboard, then on “more details” near the “Languages” pane (under your “Activity” graph) and hit the “View glossary” button.
> There you are able to select an available language and after that, hit the down arrow button next to “+ Add new term”, so that you download the glossary.
> That’s how you could manage the whole procedure.

Maybe we should not only have a German and Portuguese translator with at least some privileges on Transifex, but also a member of the French team.

Wouldn’t this also be necessary to make sure that people don’t waste their time translating Tails related strings into French? (As mentioned in the Team Duties section https://tails.boum.org/contribute/how/translate/.)

Also, as per the meeting about improving the contribute/how/translate/ documentation: Could somebody assign this ticket to me?

I have the possibility to set assignee, but only to the people registered as “Developers”. Can anyone wih the right credentials have a look?

#17 Updated by intrigeri 2014-07-12 10:01:49

sycamoreone now has the “Developer” status :)

> Can anyone wih the right credentials have a look?

In the future, please send such requests to the sysadmin team.

A note about our plans, so everybody can object early on:
The translation page should get links to a separate page
for each translation team. These pages can list the glossaries,
other resources and agreements of the respective team.
I can also host a small Tails specific glossary containing
terms that don’t appear in the other glossaries.
