Translation Problem?

[Brian Teeman]

In case you didnt see the report on the forum http://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?f=303&p=3158639#p3158639

This page has been updated with Vietnamese http://docs.joomla.org/Portal:Developers

I assume it is a translation gone wrong but I didnt want to just revert the changes

[Tom Hutchison]

Thanks, all fixed now. 

They just translated pages and pieces without regard to what is marked for translation. 

It's happened before we started translating and is likely to happen in the future. Someone signs up for a docs account and starts putting pages in their own language. Last time it happened, it was back in December on some help pages someone was changing them all into German versions. 

Go ahead and revert if you see it.

Main reason I didnt as I thought you might have a way of not losing the translation

[Tom Hutchison]

No, unfortunately there's no way to save their translation because they operated outside of the workflow and storing methods. 

It's like a developer fixing a piece of code for us but doing everything in notepad text files. Then sending over 25 text files saying please integrate these as changes to Joomla code. Sure, I guess you could do it but it would probably make some of the code maintainers heads explode. :)

This editor did not even add themselves to the translation team list where they would have gained knowledge of what to translate and then had additional support to do the translations properly.
