Background
This retro is for S96:
Thursday, September 12th | Wednesday, September 25th |
Please add comments before the meeting! We’ll take a few minutes to add additional comments and discuss, then put together action items to operationalize suggestions.
Last sprints (S95) retro is here: S95 Retrospective
Discussion topics:
Translation release check-in
Malayalam updates
Hannah is aware!
Get BETA ready for an guided tour (hiding the unfinished bits as an in progress demo)
Any way to highlight the flow of strings?
not necessarily worth the time
compare english and Malayalam and add placeholder in Crowdin to make it searchable
Paid translations
have not heard back past automated email
Translation Retro
Maintaining existing languages
@Divya Chayanam - Language specific feature release?
Don't currently have this ability to feature flag
Could default those features to english
@David Trapp
can we make explicit to contract with partners?
Volunteer vs partner languages is different process
Options:
default english
bad (but mostly ok) ai translations
language based module hiding (useful long term)
@Duncan Brain can we develop even more relationships per langauge?
Future languages minimum requirements / SOP for how to integrate them
List of all materials that need to be translated when adding a new language
What are our responsibilities for adding a new language?
As we keep adding new features, how do we keep up with translated versions of those features? Do we define a periodical frequency of such updation?
Standard of translation? (Especially for languages further and further from English)
@Anto Sgarlatta - can we organize translation files better as devs?
How do we maintain a realistic correlation between effort and timelines?
Can AI translation help us maintaining release schedules? (It’s getting better and better, specially for western languages). Crowdin has an integrated AI module (in beta though)
