Ok, we’ve got localization for StatusNet set up on TranslateWiki — setup was pretty straightforward and they’re excited about supporting us. Big thanks to Siebrand Mazeland for getting a test setup in yesterday and the live setup today! [And of course thanks to GerardM for pimping out TranslateWiki every chance he gets — lots of cool stuff going on there now!]
Portal page for our project:
http://translatewiki.net/wiki/Translating:StatusNet
There’s still some rough edges in the display for gettext-sourced translations, and I want to make sure we’ve got the update process going cleanly, but it seems to be working pretty well. We’ve already had some fixes to the German translation, and I’ve confirmed that I can pull and commit updates from TranslateWiki into git — yay!
To get set up, create yourself a login and hit up the requests page to get your edit permissions confirmed.
If you need to grab TranslateWiki folks live to poke something, right now the best place is the #mediawiki-i18n channel on irc.freenode.net; Siebrand and Nikerabbit are our main contacts there. There’s also a web gateway to the channel.
I’m also collecting some ideas for improvements to the interface and process on my user page.
