Re: Shortcuts in DL workflow

[Matej Urban <matej urban gmail com>]

It sounds like a dream! Great idea! I also second Sveinn's about multiple files.

I would also like to suggest an option for a commiter to commit in the name of a translator, and coordinator to also be able to add a name not registered as a translator.

Best regards!

Yes, please; this would be of great service to us, one-man teams, who
don't have to ask ourselves for revisions or permissions to proceed ;-)
But mostly it's a question of ergonomics and health issues (wrist strain)...

My dream is of course to be able to upload multiple files at once,
especially after correcting/adapting/streamlining a term in various
files, or when some dev has fuzzied a bunch of strings in plenty of
places (applying typographic conventions, updating notions of years, or
just some cosmetic features).

I won't mind if this is a ""shortcut" for trusted
translators/proofreaders", depends though on the definition of who would
be those trusted translators/proofreaders.
