But which OSM components does this cover? I'm
assuming this only covers the
main OSM website (and the wiki indirectly since MediaWiki is already in
TranslateWiki) but not Potlatch, and the other editors.
It's only the website at the moment as Siebrand says. But it would be
very nice to add other OpenStreetMap applications, the most obvious
next step being Potlatch.
It would also be a very interesting project to use Translatewiki to
translate some subsets of the OpenStreetMap data itself.
For instance country or state names, capitals, or cities with >0.5
million people, stuff like that.
TranslateWiki .. awesome stuff!
Agreed some kind of way to translate specific parts of the OSM database would have huge
payoff.
There's a large open translation community online, we only need to give them familiar
tools.
I'd reckon that we'd want our own custom tool for this. It would connect to the
API, rather than SVN.
Maps could be embedded in the tool, to provide geographic context for translators.
Also, the Foundation has growing needs for translators for our communications. Wonder if
TranslateWiki or something else
is a way to get that done.
