Transifex is out

Effective immediately we have stopped using Transifex.net for translating LXDE components. All translators and prospective translators inside the LXDE project have been informed about this move via the platform itself.

Will LXDE continue to use transifex.net?

UPDATE:
We’ve dropped transifex by now.
Maybe.
The recent weeks have been interesting in the world of online translation management as Transifex got promoted to 1.0. As we are one of the project using the hosted service at transifex.net since almost a year now it was with both joy and disappointment we read the changelog. While bringing many [...]

LXDE translation status

During last year we had biweekly updates to the translation community and it was a great help but as our components got more and more completed in regards to translations and the supported languages we dropped those reports to do more targeted messages.

As we approach the imminent release of GPicView [...]

Improving the translations workflow with Transifex

Roughly about a month ago Martin Bagge mentioned that we were researching the possibility of using Transifex as a translation platform for all of the LXDE components. That is not to say that our Pootle server won’t be around, but we felt that our translators could benefit from a few handy features that Transifex has [...]
