[Bf-docboard] Reconfirm docs team membership

[Francesco Siddi]

Hi,

Is there a person in charge of manual translations? I see a task here https://developer.blender.org/T43083 and there are already a few translations in progress. Would Aaron available to take onto that as well?

Regards,
Francesco

That sounds good to me, I am unsure about Greg's availability though.

This is something we have been working to setup this up [1]
so far the only people who have signed up for a spot are
John Roper and myself.

One thing that is missing from that list is for members there are
two types of members:

- English Documenters
- Translators

The Translators never got a list of members something that I
will like to do after hearing what translators are active.

I am a Chinese (Traditional) translator who just quietly reads the news on doc (manual) mailing list occasionally. The main reason translators not active is that we don't actually get the official workflow.

What we all wish is that the manual could be easily translated and updated to follow English pages. Chinese (Simplified) and Japanese translators[1] have been successfully experienced the ability of sphinx to handle manual strings into PO files which we mostly work on, and the strings could be easily updated as well.

I don't jump in  to translate at that time because I don't see any consensus on the manual platform.

The key to have translators get involved is to make all English strings easily translated and updated. If we are going to use MediaWiki system, I suggest "translatewiki.net" tool to handle the translations.

If there is any news on manual translation, please let us know and we can discuss then get involved. :)
