translation workflow for German; was Re: German translation of endof10

[Joseph P. De Veaugh-Geiss]

Hi all,

I thought I would use this thread as an opportunity to raise a topic of 
discussion about the translation workflow. I understand proposing to 
evaluate something like a team's workflow can be unwanted and 
interpreted as an aggressive move, especially from a relative outsider 
to the team. I really do not mean it that way by writing now. I just 
wanted to raise this topic in case the current process continues because 
the idea of re-evaluating it was never brought up.

I will continue here in English, but we can also switch to German if 
desired.

First, thank you and the others for your help translating the website!

Correct me if I am wrong: I am under the impression that many of the 
people initially involved with developing KDE's German translation 
process are no longer active here. I am also under the impression that 
the German translation workflow differs from other language teams and 
the process may be more complicated.

I may be wrong about these points, so please don't hesitate to 
contradict me.

Would there be interest in re-evaluating the translation workflow for 
German and updating it if some aspects of the process are no longer 
desired by those currently doing the work?

I am speaking based on a vague understanding of the process and I don't 
have the know-how to make any particular suggestions. However, I would 
be happy to try to help if there is interest in considering making some 
changes.

Cheers,
Joseph
