Pootle rights request [Cy- Cymraeg (Welsh)]

#1

I'm writing to request permission to contribute to the Welsh (Cymraeg, Cy) localisation on Pootle.

WithoutPootle rights, Ihave had to report errorsand suggest corrections by way of emails to the Welsh project lead, often having to give guidance as to the location and context of the strings and/or laboriously taking, editing and attaching screenshots. Ifeel this is a lot of needless time and effort and is against the spirit of openness.

Using LibreOffice in my job as a translator over the past year I have noted around fifty further instances of typos,mistranslations, inconsistencies, etc in the Welsh LibreOffice suite. The project and its users would benefit from these being corrected. I would much rather particiapate openly by spending a few minutes making the suggestions publicly in Pootle for the community to review rather than continue to spend hours submitting each in a continuing series of private emailconversations.

I have contributed to the cy.libreoffice.org website localisation (with permission granted in SilverStripe, not Pootle) and have translated and adapted this LibreOffice video to Welsh(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BjggFWx8lXQ). Ihave also contributed to Welsh localisationsof Skype, VLC, Notepad++, Doodle, SubtitleEdit, FileZilla, uTorrent, Mozilla.

Diolch.

Bore da Aled,

Right, for now, I've bumped you up to the level where you can suggest changes in Pootle yourself. As the lead, Rhoslyn, is quite active and comes highly qualified (not all translation in LO may be his) I'm copying him in though to check if he's ok with giving you reviewer rights so you can implement changes directly.

Rhoslyn, could you comment please?

Cheers

Michael

We'll see how we get on with the reviewer rights for now.
Thanks

Sorry, I meant the suggestion level, for now. Getting mixed up with the terminology.

Actually, Rhos, it would be useful if I had access to the comment button as well.

Diolch.

Not sure what option that comes bundled with to be honest. Nothing obvious in the admin panel.

Diolch for taking a look, Michael.

I'm also unable to remove my own suggestions. I can see the "remove suggestion" button, but it doesn't do anything. It would be handy if I could as I sometimes spot mistakes of my own and it seems a little counter-intuitive that the system makes me leave them there for someone else to have to check and remove.

I need to find out if that's actually possible within Pootle.
