I wonder if an organisation like www.translate.org.za would want to get
involved, say by:
- offering their facilities for FOSS GIS translations
- helping out with FOSS GIS translations through OSGeo channels
- extending their model beyond South African languages
?

Subject: [OSGeo-Discuss] Proposal Software Translation Portal
Hi,
as you may know, some of the OSGeo software projects
come with translated messages. E.g. GRASS has been
translated (partially) into more than 10 languages.
We (GRASS) have a dedicated mailing list for this and
a translation manager who takes care of synchronization,
update and message standardization.
So far - so nice. But.
We could gain more translators with a Web based
solution (think rainy day and you just want to translate
10 messages and don't want to mess around with .po
files from CVS and so forth).
Our suggestion is to set up a Web based solution for
all interested OSGeo projects (e.g. using "pootle").
To better brainstorm on that, we have made a Wiki page:
http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/Software_Translation_Portal
Comments welcome,
Markus Neteler
