[Bf-docboard] git manual translations: could a tool like transifex work?

[Francesco Siddi]

Hello Marco,
I’ve had a look at the project and it sounds really interesting!

I’ll of some further investigation as soon as the English manual is in place and then we can talk about it again. Thanks for the suggestion:)

I was randomly thinking about blender manual translation, and just remembered my only short experience for another FOSS project with an online tool called transifex.

Since the FOSS project has an accont there, it is possible for anyone to edit that program's strings and messages in various languages.
The system shows % upto date for every language translated, shows you new strings or strings marked as bad tanslations to be checked,

and suddenly I thought if a similar tool could benefit the new blender manual. since it's in git, it could be suited to use with a similar tool, while the wiki one probably don't.

this way or similar could allow for translated manuals to reflect exactly the structure and pictures, probably, of the original base one, and people all around the world could perhaps concentrate juston the translating task, instead of rewrite and keep up to date a completely separated tranlsated manual from the original base one, as it is with the wiki now...

anyone has thoughts on this or similar tools for developer to check?
