[Package Translations section] suggests for efficiency
« on: April 17, 2011, 06:00:08 PM »
Hi,
In only 3 pages I can see numerous "attachment deleted by admin". Therefore I suggest all files that are needed to be transmitted could preferably be in a Dropbox account, or a web space anywhere on the web,  where it can be accessed with a web browser, or with a downloader such as wget. Or if it is text files not too long, just pasted between quotes in the post. Then if it's in a webspace, only the link to the file would need to appear. Hopefully, this would not be deleted. ;)

Some posts don't wear any tag. It has been suggested when this sub-forum was created to ease the reading of the index with the help of 2 simple tags : one [-T-] for translators, so that anyone knows at once it's about a translation done ; one [-P-] for packagers, so that anyone knows at once it's a packager coming to request a translation.

Some requests come with a unique translation for one language. What about coming with a translation of a program/script anything, and leave it opened for other languages ?

And I thought also I would like to suggest the packagers who come for translation requests to bring as much information as possible about the work they would like to be done, something looking much like the rules in the packages request. Where we can find the relevant files for the translations they are asking ? How the translations can be transmitted to them ? Mail ? a web space somewhere ? (Some people don't have a webspace where to put files... )

Regards,
Mélodie
