A common place on Transifex to translate add-ons

Permalink
Torsten (@Tsilbermann) proposed to have a common project on Transifex where the concrete5 community can contribute to the translations of the concrete5 add-ons.
IMHO it's a great idea that should be discussed about in the concrete5 forums...

IMHO having a centralized place where people can contribute to translations may lead to a greater level (in terms of quantity and quality) of the add-ons translations.
The only drawback I can see is that Transifex only offers free services to free projects, so we can only accept translating free add-ons.

Furthermore, to have a greater level of visibility, I'd create a new project under the concrete5 Transifex organization (https://www.transifex.com/organization/concrete5-1... ).

I wouldn't add add-ons resources in the existing concrete5 project: mixing core resources and add-ons resources may lead to a quite unclear project.

Mixing core and package translations would improve the visibility but, I'm fine with a second project as well!

Maybe we could talk to Transifex and get a deal for all paid concrete5 add-ons? We'd also need access to all the packages which we currently don't. That part would need a few things from the core team..

Hi guys,
I know Bernd (@bmatzner) has translated the commerce add-on. Cali (french community) has a huge list of translationshttp://cms.concrete5.fr/ressources/telechargements/telecharger-une-...

Often add-ons are translated not really well. Working on add-on translations together can be of benefit to the CMS. That improves the quality of the whole CMS. We have a well filled, growing glossary for german translations. If we could use it for translating the ecommerce add-on e.g. makes it much easyer for users to work with.

Translating the core works much better than on year ago. Transifex has already proven as the right place for translations.
I don't know how the guys at Transifex see it. It could be an argument that a lot of people spent time translating the add-ons (for free). But at this time there is no place to put that together.

All good subjects. Let's see what the core team thinks about it.
I'm very curious
