How to update translations in the wiki?

DenisKormalev

CreMindES, by tag I didn't mean tag as it is at right pane :) I meant something like
[quote author="Alexander Antsev" date="1291405423"]How about add new wiki keyword? Something like [[translation:lang:"original-url"]].[/quote]

CreMindES

Oh, I'm sorry Denis! Somehow I accidentally skipped that post, I see what your are saying now.

Maybe I'm wrong again, but it feels a real "(ab)use", as Tobias said on the Tagging system for me. Please explain it, why is this is better and easier to implement, and make it only visible for that certain article (or have loads of tags), than adding an extra field to the editor and an extra little property to the article? Don't misundertand me, I'm just trying to understand all possibilities, to make the perfect suggestion :)

Oh, and Alexandra have mentioned it somewhere, that she want to figure out a certain way to rename the translated getting started guides to make life easier, so I think this also can be interesting for her.

CreMindES, this way copies wiki categories way :) And I don't see any difference between field at form and additional keyword.
I don't think tagging will help with linking original and translation because I simply can't see how it can help :)

CreMindES

Sorry, maybe it's because it's late now, but I think I still don't understand everything perfectly.

[quote author="Tobias Hunger" date="1291400462"]We are getting more and more translations in the wiki. Is there a way to mark which page is a translation of which? That would be really helpful to mark the translations as in need for an update once the original page gets changed.

Maybe we can we (ab)use the tagging system for this? Any ideas?[/quote]

I hope tomorrow, with more energy, we will come up with something to Tobias' post, because it would be really helpful for everyone.

Anything new about it? I did not find any of these tags.
I would suggest an improvement:
@
translate:langcode from:langcode
@

spaces are allowed for tags and this is better to keep in mind.

here are some wiki pages to update from en translation, I have tagged right now

translate:ru from:en
translate:es from:en
translate:it from:en

I "discovered" the syntax for smaller and larger fonts (de, en are already up-to-date)

p{font-size:smaller}. interested?

p{font-size:larger}. Yes! :-)

I'm lost.

OT: Do you know, a thread dealing with Qt documentation transation? Is a translators group intended?

troubalex

I think the regional groups take a lot of action on the matter, no?

Wolf P.

(I'm not sure if I was unmisunderstandable with my question.)
I asked about plans to translate the whole Qt API documentation, currently available only in English.

troubalex

There is an ongoing effort to translate the docs to "French":http://qt.developpez.com and "Spanish":http://www.zonaqt.com/. Both efforts are driven by community sites.

I don't think it makes sense to have a general group for translators to all sorts of languages. The regional ones are probably better suited.

Wolf P.

Ok :) thanks for the info.
Do you know if French is the only translation project so far?
