Re: [xwiki-devs] [VOTE] Selecting a tool to manage localization

Hi, I think we need to move forward and get to a decision on our approach. I've currently not been very convinced on the launchpad approach given that it seems overly complex to get our translations loaded in their system. The french translations I've been trying to load are blocked for review (see https://translations.launchpad.net/xwiki/+imports ). Also I don't see clearly where to get the source code for launchpad to have our own install if we wanted, and how complex it would be given that launchpad has many other features unrelated to translations. On the other hand, I've improved the speed of the translation app on http://l10n.myxwiki.org using counting caches and it seems to work quite well. So I would like to launch a vote to go with the XWiki translation application approach and move it to it's own wiki on l10n.xwiki.org. We also need this wiki to be UTF-8 in order to support translations in all languages. Here is my +1 for using l10n.myxwiki.org
