[Learnosm-coord] [HOT Training] [learnosm] LearnOSM translations on GitHub

[Nick Allen]

Hi Ben - althio

Good to hear from you again.

I think we're better promoting the use of transifex for the translations 
and any amendments to them.

With transifex there is a review system and we can keep all of the 
modules aligned across the different languages. Before adopting 
transifex we were in the position of not knowing exactly what each 
language version of a module contained. An amendment in an English 
version because software had been updated may or may not have made it 
across into the other languages. With Transifex we make an amendment to 
a module in the master language for that module (at the moment that is 
English, but there could be modules where the master language is 
something else - for instance the intermediate & advanced sections in 
French could be the masters when they are ready for translation), and we 
can easily see if that update has been translated in the other language 
versions.

This spreadsheet 
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1NlJHTYAYpyyF5o9D8UMAsSzFG7lHY2cIi2mzncx530w/edit?usp=sharing 
has the cells coloured dark blue if the module is present on LearnOSM as 
a result of translation on transifex. This is a vast improvement over 
the situation before we started using transifex.

My language skills aren't good enough to know if the proposal in the 
pull request is better than that originally in place, but if we accept 
it as better, when we next bring a translation of that module across 
from transifex, it will overwrite this amendment.

We may need to amend the contribute statement at 
https://github.com/hotosm/learnosm/blob/gh-pages/_posts/en/0100-01-01-contribute.md 
(which we will then update onto transifex for translation & putting back 
onto the main site - this is part of the 'essential setup' file).

Regards

Nick
