Pootle update

    • Making first release for new Web release on the Django platform

  • Investigate how Pootle would work with new LOL formats
  • May investigate the po-->DTD conversion scripts and minimize the diffs when it comes time to the Hg

Questions

  • Was an user experience person ever engaged to look at the Pootle UE and UI?
    • Some designers mocked up about 5 versions, but an important learning was that none of the designers had ever done any translation
    • Changes have been made on the most frequent request that were made
    • Look and feel changes from Dan and Wil last year
    • Current layout is still similar
  • From Friedel:
    • HTML conversions scripts haven't been used much, so please let us know any difficulties
    • Difficulties in adding new projects are partially addressed
    • AMO and SUMO gettext
