Appointing Launchpad Georgian Translators Team (lp-l10n-ka)

Asked by Giorgi Maghlakelidze

Our team (https://launchpad.net/~lp-l10n-ka) will probably use the information from Ubuntu Georgian Translators, since duplicating it won't make much sense :)

Could You please approve the team as Georgian(ka) Translation team?

We would like to start right away :)

Hi Giorgi,

Thanks for creating the Launchpad Georgian Translators team!

May I ask you to address these points before appointing the team?:

* I could not see any translations guidelines. Do you have any that you could add a link to, or are you planning to work on them?

* As a team coordinator, we (or new translators) might have to contact you, so it would be advisable to have a stable e-mail address visible to logged-in Launchpad users. Do you think you could deactivate the "Hide my email addresses from other Launchpad users" checkbox from https://launchpad.net/people/+me/+edit ? Again, this address will only be visible to logged-in users in Launchpad.

* This is only a suggestion, as you are free to add the relevant content to your homepage, but as the team will be responsible for translating any project assigned to Launchpad Translators, and not only Chromium/Ubuntu, I'd recommend adding generic information to the page, rather than just a link to the Chromium translations and to the Ubuntu team.

Once you've had a chance to address this, we'll be happy to appoint the team and get you translating right away!

Regards,
David.

P.S. As a side note, if the people translating Ubuntu are also going to want to translate other applications in Launchpad, you can simply add ubuntu-l10n-ka as a subteam to lp-l10n-ka

Hello, David!

Firstly, I've just made my email public for Launchpad Users.

Secondly - as I've mentioned in the request - I didn't want to duplicate the guidelines from Ubuntu Georgian Translators. When I've written our guidelines, I've used the one as an example... When I've finished - it turned out to be almost the same as the guideline of the aforementioned group...
I agree that it is necessary to have information on the first page. If it is that important, I will post our version of the info on the first page :)

Also, I am currently working on a more complete version of guidelines for translating process. I'll gladly publish it on Launchpad wiki.

Regards,
Giorgi

P.S.(I know there aren't a lot of people in the team, as I haven't told the others yet. People are eager to translate Chromium[well, and other projects too!]. So I think it would be better to tell them when the opportunity presents itself, don't You think? )

Hello David!

I have written the guidelines for translating into Georgian:
https://help.launchpad.net/Translations/GuidesList/Georgian

Also, I have put together small instructions on how to become a team member, how to translate, where to be and how to contact us... IRC and forum included... mailing list as well :)

I think the team page satisfies the requirements... Could You please appoint us as Launchpad Georgian Translators Team?

Wow, great work!

I've just accepted the team in Launchpad translators.

A couple of suggestions:

I'd recommend you to subscribe to the launchpad-translators mailing list to be kept up-to-date of news around translatable applications in Launchpad. You can do this by joining thoe open https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-translators team
You can also add the ubuntu-l10n-ka team as a subteam of lp-l10n-ka, in case members of the Ubuntu translation group are interested in translating other Launchpad applications.

That's it, happy translating!

Regards,
David.

Hi again David!

It's weird, but I cannot find our group in the list:

Could You assist please? :)
or am I being impatient...? does this kind of procedure take time?
