Re: Octave 4.0 call for translations

[David Rörich]

I think the work package method is a good idea and the easiest option. If you agree, I will attend to the first work package:

beginning to de_DE.ts(2420)

Armin, could you send me a patch reflecting your current state of the file de_DE.ts?

Cheers,
David

Sounds feasible. Is there a third translator?

I guess it would be you, Andreas and me.

I agree that there shouldn't be a lot of collisions unless we work on
the same part of the file at the sime time.

Yes. It would be favorable to checkin in short iterations to avoid collisions, too.

The probability of collisions could be reduced if one works from top
to bottom and the other from bottom to top.

Right.

By the way, where do you check in? Certainly, just a bunch of people
can push changes to the repo?

According to the file log, Andreas and Torsten did most of the checkins. I don't have rights.

Armin
