Dear Sir,
Thank you very much for the quick reply. I like UX stuff basically and
that's why I am very interested in this project. I am trying to get
familiarized with the translator, so that I can come up with
better suggestions for improvements. I would be very much glad if you
can enable
Sinhalese support for me to experience the translator further.
I shall follow your instructions and report once done or if I have any
problem. Thank you.
Best regards,
Nanduni.

Hi Nanduni,
Always great to see someone so interested in working on XWiki :)
We did not really defined any scope for l10n proposal. For me the best
is that you play a bit with it (maybe translate a few things, I can
enable Sinhalese or some other language that would not be listed yet
if you want) and see what are the main pain points for a translator.
You also have a few ideas on
http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/GoogleSummerOfCode/Improvel10nxwikiorg2…
and http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Improvements/i10n.
Then you make a proposal with what you think you can achieve in the
GSOC timeframe.
http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Improvements/i10n is a good
place to put details of your proposal and then discuss it on the
mailing list with the community.
Note: you can also ask quick questions on IRC (see
http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/IRC/). My id on IRC is tmortagne
(but no need to always as to me personally :)) there and my time zone
is GMT+1 (France) and it's more or less the same for most of the core
dev team.
Here are the main features right now:
1) A UI for contributor to translation keys with mainly
** a UI which display all keys filtered by language, resource and
status (empty, outdated, etc)
** a search UI
This is the main target for the GSOC. The idea is to make easier to
contribute.
2) UI and automated scheduler to update the keys and default
translation on l10n.xwiki.org from the source (add new keys, update
the english version if something change on git side, etc)
This is used mostly by the dev team but it could use some love, like
making things more asynchronous (right now you start an import, get a
timeout and hope that it will be done at some point on the background)
3) UI and API to export translation as usable resources (that's mainly)
This one is ok enough for now so unless you see some easy improvements
on your side no need to concentrate too much on it.

Dear Sir,
I am *Nanduni Nimalsiri,* a third year undergraduate at Department of
Computer Science and Engineering, University of Moratuwa, Sri Lanka. I
had
been going through the XWiki's GSoC projects
ideas list since 20th
February
and I was very eagerly waiting for XWiki to get
selected for the 2016
Google Summer of Code programme. I am very happy that XWiki got selected
this time, because I had always been expecting to take part in a GSoC
project with XWiki community.
Actually I am very interested in contributing to open source projects
and I
already have experiences in working with a
variety of open source
projects.
I am very familiar in programming with Java, C,
C#, JavaScript, PHP, XML,
jQuery, web designing, cloud applications and many more which I have used
for most of my university projects and other exterior projects. I am a
quick learner and I am very confident that I would be able to catch up
with
new technologies very soon.
I am very familiar with JavaScript and UI stuff. So I found an
interesting
project in XWiki ideas list that matches with my
interests. Out of the
project ideas listed, I would like to contribute to the project *Improve
l10n.xwiki.org
<
http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/GoogleSummerOfCode/Improvel10nxwikiorg2…
.
*The
project description includes : "*The student will have to study it and
propose improvements, there is no definite list of things to do*". Can
you
please let me know the scope of this proposed
project and how I should
get
started. Thank you.
Best regards,
Nanduni.
