PM Online Translation HOWTO

Managing translators

  • Send email to translator once account is activated on Pootle
  • Update before translators start work
  • Commit to save work to version control

General Guidelines

  • Commits and updates may be done as often as desired. As a rule of thumb: update once a day, commit every hour or so, daily at the longest.
  • Update and Commit functions appear to those with access by clicking on the project name, then "Admin", then "Show Editing Functions".
  • Commit fires off a build immediately.
  • Each translation bundle (.po file) is updated and committed separately.
  • Access to both functions must be specifically granted by an administrator.
