Dear translators,
Following the issue opened by Yaron [1] about DL, I'd like to suggest
some modifications to the traditional Web translation workflow:
- Allow to submit a translation or a review directly without passing
through the reserve step. The reserve step still remains, of course, but
would be optional.
- Allow a committer to Submit to repository as soon as a .po file is
available in the workflow, without requiring a review or a Ready for
submit action.
This would shorten the minimal number of required form submits to 2
(upload the translation / submit to repository).
What do you think about this. I have the feeling that it would be an
answer to a concern that several coordinators have expressed in the
past, especially for smaller teams.
Thanks a lot for considering this -- it would be absolutely fantastic.
FWIW I have two main usecases:
* A current limitation of D-L is that it's not possible to have
inline discussions of changes. Compare to Gitlab merge requests
where any line can be commented and have a full discussion thread.
In order to have inline discussions one needs to use another tool for
the proofreading part of the workflow, and hence most of the clicking
in D-L is unnecessary.
* Normally 90% of changes happen in 10% of modules. The other 90% of
modules have very few changes and it makes sense to proofread them in
a single batch after translating those modules with many changes. But
manually committing every small change is a lot of clicking.
(I also dream of having a commit-multiple-files option. It could
preview the change in translation stats so it's easy to verify that
each file is committed to the right module.)
Best regards
