  • How do I translate menu entries?
  • How can we coordinate uniform translations of the same terms in a given team?
  • How do I Download or Upload files into Rosetta. What are these strange formats PO or MO? What Software can be used to work on them? Is it recommended to work on the files in my local computer instead of editing the files online?

Rosetta specific

  • Which packages have translations released via "langpacks"? All of the packages available in Rosetta?
  • In Rosetta, if the option "Someone should review this translation" is on, is the translation accepted? When is it accepted? If it is turned off, the translation will be automatically accepted without any reviewing?
  • Is there someone with the responsability of looking to the translations marked as "Someone should review this translation" and correct them if necessary?
  • When should I turn on the option "Someone should review this translation"?
  • If no one turns off the option "Someone should review this translation" during several weeks what should I do? Will the translation be automatically accepted?
