Fwd: Semi-mechanizing the DTTP translations

[Hannie Dumoleyn]

Hallo allemaal,
Onderstaand voorstel van Pierre is een heel goed idee. Ik heb zojuist de 
eerste 900 kb van main-quantal naar GTT gestuurd. Als er mensen zijn die 
in GTT hieraan willen werken, laat het even weten en ik zal het bestand 
met je delen. Of misschien is er een betere manier om het met al onze 
vertalers te delen?
Groeten,
Hannie

The DDTP represent around 50 000 strings to translate * 140 languages. 
On very good weeks, a typical translation team translates 500 strings 
(see UWN for examples weekly figures).

Would take a lot of weeks (years?) with highly motivated volunteers of a 
large translation team, working non-stop, at their best to get done with it.
Thus we had the idea to delegate initial translation suggestions to 
Google Translator Kit and review translations with humans to speed the 
process.

We successfully did an import for circa 40 000 French strings  (yup you 
read that right) this week-end in a mock project called DDTP Automation 
(https://translations.launchpad.net/ddtpautomation).
To keep it short, the translations from this project appear as 
suggestions in the French DDTP, and can be reviewed by actual translators.
We've started using them, and it turns out that a lot of them are 
actually useful and are speeding up the translation process a lot.

We detailed the (somewhat) tedious process in English at 
http://lite.framapad.org/p/ddtpUbuntu
Questions and inquiries welcome.

Pierre
