I've been really busy lately. I can still work on occasional release announements(with reduced scope, without full bug fix list translation...),

probably that can bring... some more hope for Japanese.(I know translator volunteers are kinda rare, though)<br>

<div class="PlainText">We've had this discussion on translating the manual for quite some time now,
<br>
without an effective solution. <br>
<br>
The KDE system for working with translations is based on subversion. There are <br>
shell scripts that call shell scripts in the git repositories, generate pot <br>
files, submit those to subversion, where teams can start translating them. <br>
There is no provision, other than the release scripts for pulling the <br>
translations back into the git repository.<br>
<br>
For the docs.krita.org site we need to have the pot files inside the git <br>
repository, so would make sense to skip the whole subversion step. That breaks <br>
the workflow of the KDE translators, though that workflow is already broken <br>
for wiki sites and wordpress sites, so the question is, how much of a problem <br>
would this be?<br>
<br>
We have two options:<br>
<br>
* let translators just clone the docs-krita-org repo and make them create <br>
review requests through phabricator.<br>
* put a convenient website such as weblate (<a href="https://weblate.org">https://weblate.org</a>) on top, so
<br>
translations can be done in their browser.<br>
<br>
Note: we also regularly get questions from people who want to translate Krita <br>
itself, and who find the current KDE system unworkable. <br>
