Tails

I was wondering, shall i create a new page “Translating with Git”?
Or shall i add the documentation to this page: https://tails.boum.org/contribute/how/translate/?
This page seems a bit too specific / too developer oriented.

What is your opinion on this?

I think so, yes. But perhaps sajolida has better ideas about it.

If the documentation specific to translating Tails using Git keeps growing, yes, I think it is useful to have all the info in a single page. The current /contribute/how/translate will also gets simplified by factoring everything related to translating with Git into a dedicated page.

Another issue I see on this page is that the “Translate this website into a new language” is not structurally related to translating using Git, even if it is the only possible way at the moment. So why could improve that in the same move maybe.

I think so.

For languages that don’t have a translation team that takes care of it
via Git (that is, every language but French, currently), yes.

No, translation work happening in Git is not sync’d to Transifex.
