Hi all,
I am happy to share with you that I have organized and held a small "translation race" last week for Turkish in Ankara, Turkey. :)
And here are the details:
- 4 newcomers (CS students) attended the race (but one of them had issues with his laptop, so the effective number of attendees was 3), and I was able to handle them in a comfortable way.
- It took about 4-5 hours, and each attendee has translated at least one module (some of the translations traveled back and forth a few times between me and the attendee because of meticulous reviews. I tried to let them correct their own errors so that they would learn as much as possible)
- We have raised the completion rate of GNOME 3.26 (development) branch for Turkish from 91% to 93% during the event. (And GNOME 3.24 (stable) branch from 91% to 92% as a side effect of the shared modules)
- The attendees were happy about the home-made cake and snacks I prepared for the event (I wish I had some stickers too, but I didn't have time to print them)
- The attendees expressed their happiness about the event, and asked if I could come to their school (in Northern Cyprus) in September or October in case they organize an event there.
- We created a slack group, and all attendees joined in. We are now talking about repeating the event remotely (communicating via slack) a few times more during the string freeze.
