Hi Clément,
Thanks for your feedback.
I think Weblate offers all the necessary features like git and github
integration, making PRs instead of directly pushing changes.
We should also be able to use xwiki.org as an identity provider using an
OAuth2 plugin.
If you see a missing feature that other tools have, we can consider them
for sure.
As for Python, why would it decrease maintainability and other what?
Thanks again,

Hello everyone,
Hi,
AFAICS Weblate looks nice, but haven't we looked at other alternatives ?
Here are some of them :
* http://jabylon.org/ (uses Java, so it might be easier to integrate)
* http://zanata.org/
* http://pootle.translatehouse.org/
* https://pontoon.mozilla.org/
Also, I think that it has already been discussed, either on
https://xwiki.markmail.org/search/?q=weblate or on IRC, but being able
to use xwiki.org as an identity provider on our translation platform
would be neat, so it could be something to look for in the possible
solutions.
As you may already know, we have thought about
replacing the l10n
platform
which is becoming too slow. Weblate seems to be a
good replacement
choice,
as it will able contributors to have their name
in the commits and it has
every features needed to make translations.
One problem is that XWiki doesn't use a standard method to process
translation files. We can solve that by creating some scripts to convert
XWiki translation files into one that Weblate can understand.
A detailed solution can be found here :
http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Proposal/
WeblateasXWikistranslationplatform
We'll indeed need to convert our translation files to a more "standard"
format, but I fear that using Python might decrease the maintainability
of those scripts.
WDYT ?
Feel free to discuss it by responding here or
directly in the design
page.
