Rosetta

Summary

Make it possible for the community to spontaneously translate the Fridge into other languages through Rosetta.

Rationale

Fridge is a community portal, and the community is global. English might be the most popular language, but is not the only one, for sure.

Use cases

José is not Joe, and thus does not speak English. Help poor José.

Scope

All FridgeContent.

Design

Create localised fridge pages that will pull PO files from Rosetta automatically (hopefully it's doable on a daily basis).

Implementation

Unresolved issues

  • How can the Fridge export POT files?
  • Will translators be fast enough to keep up with the Fridge?
  • How will the translations be published?
  • How can the translated PO files be converted back to whatever format is used for publishing the translations?
