So I'm asking to all developers to follow a simply uploading policy to keep the site updated and complete for all languages:
- When you add a new section to an english page (like this in
download-en.inc) please copy'n'paste the same english section to related localised pages (i.e. download-it, -fr, -de, -es)
- If you commit minor or cosmetic change (a broken link or similar),
please apply the same patch to other languages, or at least drop a mail to translators about it.
Following these simple hints, you will make translators' work simplier :)
Comments, suggestions and critics are welcome.
I don't think this approach is going to scale, since it becomes a significant amount of cut-and-paste work as the number of translations increases.
I agree with Bryce: this don't scale well. Personally, if I would have to deal with this cut-and-paste work , will think twice before committing anything to the website.
But I got another proposal, which could solve this better: as we have the CVS commits mailing list, it would be useful to have a similar list but only for commits in the website module. This way translators could subscribe to the list and receive automatic notification for each website change.
