Community Translation Interface (CTI)

Have you heard about Community Translation Interface? If not, today is a perfect day to learn about this cool web-based tool providing a lot of convenience for translation process. Let's read Blanka's notes for more details on CTI:



"Community Translation Interface

Sun started an interesting project for everyone, who can speak at least little bit English and wants to contribute to open-source community with translations. The Community Translation Interface (CTI) is a simple web application with a translation editor connected to the internal globalization management system powered by Idiom WorldServer. On this page you can join your fellow community users and translate OpenSolaris or any other open-source project to the language of your choice. I hope, for you the most interesting project will be NetBeans. Now on that page, you can find only one project NB65_Properties_UC_UML for Brazilian Portuguese. I hope in the future we will find there more projects concerning with NetBeans.














How to do it:

You need to register as a CTI user first to be granted access to the translation editor. However, you might not be allowed to contribute to a certain project until certain conditions have been met, including but not limited to:

  1. your e-mail addres has been verified

  2. you have signed Sun Contributor Agreement What is SCA?

  3. project localization leader has reviewed your registration request

To learn more about how to work with it, check video or slides made by Petr Tomášek, Róbert Malovec and Aleš Černošek from “OpenSolaris developer conference”. They had their presentation on Friday June 27 at 15:15.

Now CTI is supported mainly for OpenSolaris, so if you have any question, you can ask in g11n forum for OpenSolaris. For example here is already establish one thread about it.

And finally if you are wondering about this project, you can also read regularly the new blog http://blogs.sun.com/cti/."
