[Bf-translations-dev] Looking for Ideas and Suggestions for Improving Translation Workflow

[Daniel Tavares]

Hi Gabriel,

Thanks a lot for replying!

This is great. It's actually very motivating to know that you were able to translate the majority of the text by yourself, on your free time. I'll worry about reviewing the translations and its context after I'm done with the po.

Cheers,
Daniel

I'm dealing with this right now by revising different parts of the program (just using it) to find errors in the terms. sometimes I've found some terms that are wrong because they are used in other contexts and can't be fixed in all places at a time, so the PO will have to provide two strings for them. we're right now discussing this issue.

Every now and then I think about ways on improving this, either by somehow increasing my productivity or effective ways on getting more collaborators.
