D9 localization server upgrade initiative:taking care of our translation tools for Drupal community
About this talk
This talk discusses the ongoing efforts to port the Drupal community translation server from Drupal 7 to Drupal 9, which was initiated by a group of volunteers at Drupal Dev Days in Ghent in April 2022. The speaker highlights the importance of Localize, which serves as a vital tool for translating Drupal core and contributed projects into various languages, allowing contributors from diverse linguistic communities to collaborate effectively. The first phase of this initiative focuses on porting existing features while also aiming to enhance the user interface, provide web services for language statistics, tackle crediting challenges, and integrate a translation memory tool. The speaker emphasizes the need for feedback from translation teams to ensure the tools meet user needs, inviting volunteers to participate in the effort during the event.
