Enabling gitlocalize for online translations?

[Christian Brabandt]

Bram,
there exists a project called Gitlocalize (https://gitlocalize.com),
that allows to create online localizations. It expects an input path (po
file) and a target file (e.g. de.po). It then analyzes the input and
allows to edit the translation files via a webbrowser.

Once the translations are ready, a user can then automatically create a
PR. I think enabling the gitlocalize access to the vim repository can be
beneficial, what do you think?

If we want to enable this, we need however to check in the vim.po file,
otherwise we do not have all available input translations avilable.

Best,
Christian

Don't you mean the vim.pot file?

That file can be generated, thus including it with the distribution
isn't very useful. Does it work to put it separately, in another
sub-project?

Yes.

No, it is expected to reside in the repository which you want to
translate. Also, you would need to approve the gitlocalize app to access
the vim repository.

Hm, perhaps not. Let me check again.

That is still true.

Hmm, it's about 160 Kbyte. I suppose that's doable.
