LibreOffice website localization?

#1

Hello all,

New LO website is live now so I have question.
Will we be able to localize it (on libreoffice.org, not those team libreoffice pages)?
Are there any plans for localized websites (like Mozilla has for Firefox, Thunderbird etc.)?

Best regards,
Mihovil

there is already localized websites, it seems that I don't understand your question :slight_smile:

Where?
We wanted to localize libreoffice.org 1 year ago, but it was said it wasn't possible. We could only run our own subdomain (something like hr.libreoffice.org) with our content and localization which isn't interesting to me.

Best regards,

So, you see I didn't understand your question :slight_smile: and you're right we
will have subdomains like in the past because some of us don't have the
same content as the EN site and we would like to preserve this
possibility to have either the same or a different content.

Cheers

So, no libreoffice.org main site localization in the end? :slight_smile:
I have no interest in new content or managing contant, I would just like to have main page in my language if possible.

It seems we lose the choice of content for all in that case.

May be you can just copy the html from the EN website and translate it,
the download page has a script to update the versions, doing so, you
just translate the main page once and have only the version numbers to
update on the download page.

Hi :slight_smile:
The in-built help download button seems to be missing in English (GB)
is it missing for other languages too?

Hi :slight_smile:
I just had another look and it's there now. It was several hours ago
that i last looked and i think they must have fixed it since then.

Can a l10n team decide to use the old design of website if they do not
like the new design/content distribution?

Hello Martin,

I would actually advise against that. I think one can have different
pages, different content, but it's all too easy to claim that one new
design is not liked. I don't claim it's not a respectable opinion, but
if you only knew the number of people who didn't like our old website,
then we would have gotten about 15 different designs by that time.

My suggestion is admittedly a rather marketing and design-based one:
stick with the new one. Customize it however you want, but keep the
branding . It increases our brand coherence and the user experience as
well.

Best,

Charles.

I don't understand why there's no localised Welsh (Cymraeg) site at cy.libreoffice.org.

There appears to be a Welsh website translation at 100%; https://translations.documentfoundation.org/cy/

In the Welsh LibreOffice programs, the "About Us" window has a "Website" button which links to the "Page not found" at http://cy.libreoffice.org/.

Hwyl,

I mentioned this on a couple occasions previously. This small project on Pootle only covers localization of certain aspects of the website, such as the Downloads and Donations modules. To actually get your locale a website, you have to follow the instructions at https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/NewWebsiteNLT .
