Re: [FIX]:Weblate - use po file download/upload - revisions
I give my reply for italian language/community:
Yes, this is a weakness. I don't know if it can be done and how, but I'd like to have a system in which the reviewed terms can be changed only by reviewers and other terms can be changed (and then loaded) by anyone (view *).
> Clearly define the problem we are attempting to solve? For instance, Is it "vandalism" of existing translations (this could be solved by banning offenders)? Or is it incorrect/low quality new translations (which can be fixed easily after the fact, I suppose)? Or something else?
As far I know we don't have problems of a misuse of the tool. What we noticed is that the "need" and the "hurry" to have the translations, or a lack in the definition of a glossary for common terms, or the contributions of a new entry (like in part I am), goes to some incorrect or not so pertinent translations.

Hm, here I don't know what to say, can't be done in the "same way" that PSC are nominated for repository in GitHub?

Absolutely yes: the lack of resources is a problem and (*) I prefer that a thing is done now than perfect never. So the activation of the review process should be decided by each community.
Thanks for expanding the discussion, I hope others will join.

Oggetto: Re: [FIX]:Weblate - use po file download/upload - revisions
We discussed a translation review mechanism before, I think, but IIRC we concluded we need a process first.
Here are a few questions that come to mind. There might be more.
- Clearly define the problem we are attempting to solve? For instance, Is it "vandalism" of existing translations (this could be solved by banning offenders)? Or is it incorrect/low quality new translations (which can be fixed easily after the fact, I suppose)? Or something else?
- What would be the process to appoint/elect reviewers? Currently we accept anyone who asks.
- How to make sure translation proposals are not stuck for too long waiting for review?- Should/can we enable the review process per language? This may be
important as not all language communities have the resources to have
dedicated reviewers.
Best regards,

Weblate - use po file download/upload - revisions
Hi,I did some translation on translation.odoo-community.org using the web interface.Now I desire to have an overall view of a repository translation and fix some imprecisions I did, expecially for common and repeated strings.I see that I can download the repo's POs file but the Weblate option to upload them isn't enabled.If isn't possible to enable the upload, there is a way to go around this (i.e. sending the fixed files to someone)? Or the only solution is the web interface?Second question, on Transifex for Odoo project there is the revision option enabled that grant a better quality of the translations.Do you think that it can be activate on OCA Weblate too?Thanks for attention.PS: I hope to had use the right mailing list for this questions.Stefano Consolarowww.mymage.it
