[Shotwell] translations

[Vadim Peretokin]

Id recommend rosetta from ly experience as a translator and developer. It
doesn't require a welled move to lp.net either, you can just register a
project on lp solely for the translations.

For translators, a web interface is offered for doing the work - ie no
download, works on all platforms, and a person can use multiple computers
without a prob. lp also has a killer "suggestions" feature - same text
already translated in other oss projects is offered as an option, so one can
just click on the appropriate translation. Helps consistency across the
relevant context of applications, and saves time.

Out of curiosity, what are your plans for growing a larger set of
translations for shotwell ?

I see several options:

- Relying on the GNOME translation teams - this gives you a large set
of languages, but would require moving to GNOME git, which may not be
an option for you...

- Use transifex - I haven't worked with transifex myself, but I have
heard good things about it from others. The advantage of transifex is
that you can set it up to automatically push translation updates into
your svn, or you can manually pull them, if you prefer that.

- Use Canonicals rosetta tool - I don't know if this would require you
to move to launchpad, and if it is suitable for doing upstream
translations (as opposed to 'improving' translations for a single
distribution...).

I'm asking because I would like to recommend using shotwell instead of
gthumb for photo management in the next Fedora release, and having
reasonable translation coverage would be a prerequisite for that.
