I am not a translator but I think that working from XLIFF documents
would make the translation a bit easier.
XLIFF makes it possible to follow the translation process, at least
partially.
For example, if the translation tools implement the "Change Tracking
Extension" module defined in the latest XLIFF specification (v2.1), you
can track the status of elements. The "property" attribute can indicate
a new level: for example, the translator who changed the "state" (XLIFF
attribute) of the translation: initial, translated, reviewed, final.

Unfortunately, translators would need to use translation tools based on
the latest XLIFF specification (v2) to take advantage of this. However,
someone will eventually be able to use the tools at their disposal.

Does anybody has a guide about "how to set up a documentation translation project with git ?". One requirement will probably to define how propositions are officially validated. Does it requires Joaquín to learn how to use git ? Can we just work by sending files (or patches) to Joaquín who will update with a single git command ? -- Best regards, Kevin Vigouroux
