OK – getting nowhere with this – my own searches have been fruitless so far. One thing is for sure though – I am not going to handle the translation issue as has been done to date – it is just too time consuming. So… it is getting a little urgent as 4.1 PO friles really need to go out very soon – it is already late in terms of expecting anyone to complete a translation by the time we want to hit a beta.
My ideal system would be a separate OS web application that acts as a sort of library. Anyone could 'check out' a specific PO file which would then become 'locked'. Anyone else wishing to work on it would be able to send a contact message to the current 'holder' of the file who could (a) accept their help or (b) re-assign ownership to them.
The conditions of holding a PO file would be that your name is public and your email address held for such contacts.
I know there are currently only a couple of people who can read these threads but (a) does anyone know of a third party web application that approxmates this requirement? Or (b) does anyone know of a WP plugin that may suffice?
In all probablity this will end up being self written. I am OK with that and can obviously do it – but time is running short and I am not prepared to go to beta of 4.1 until we have at least something in place.
So all and any ideas are welcome…
