Call for Telegram translations

[Michal Karnicki]

I have to admit I wasn't aware of that page. Now that I think of it, it
would be really awesome to reuse the strings from one of those apps,
however it may be difficult.

a) Currently I'm the only internal developer + one actively contributing
community developer on "Telegram for Ubuntu" and as such, our resources are
limited. We're working on features, while trying to find time for bug
fixes. I doubt we'd find time to try convert Transifex output to a pot form
- but perhaps you know if it does support gettext format out of the box? Is
it available for download?
b) If we were to reuse those, we would have to re-align our app in some
places for those strings to match our UI flows.
c) I believe we're simply not enough feature complete and stable to request
moving in to Transifex for our translations. I may be wrong though on this,
so I will reach out to Telegram task force with a question.

While we're not at capacity to reuse those translated strings, and I belive
our community is quite strong, at the same time if there's anyone that
would like to support the effort of re-using Transifex output for our app
(also engineering-wise), I am more than happy to try support this effort as
well.

Thanks,
karni
