Re: [xwiki-devs] [Brainstorming] How should we review translations?

We still need to make some decisions before making an official announcement to the community. I'd like to know here how we should deal with translation reviews. I'm thinking of two ways to review translations: 1) Reviewing directly on the Weblate platform Pros: - Users can only make suggestions for already approved translations (which means we'll only have approved translations in the commits) - We can compare the translated keys to the source one (English) - We could push commits directly on the git repository instead of making PRs Cons: - AFAICS we can only review one translation key at a time (and overall the review process seems to be quite hard) - It seems that we receive an email for each new suggestions/translations (and we can't group them) 2) Reviewing on Github (with PRs) Pros: - We can review everything in a single view (github diff) - We know exactly what we are merging in the repository Cons: - Can't see the English source next to the translation (even if we mostly don't need to) - It's harder to manage spam as people could change every translations (no locking/suggestions) - You'll have to go on Weblate and revert rejected keys (one by one) I'm in favor of option 2 as it's the simplest and the safest one as everything can be checked on the PR. If you need to see how reviews are being made on Weblate, I can probably send screenshots or just give, for some of you, manager rights on the platform. WDYT?

Thanks, Adel
