npub1fzx00c36ny4whyuhg4ykx6987wxp885fmwmc784n27qcu6pavwzs3wt6h3 (npub1fzx…t6h3) The French translation had started way before I joined. I think the partial translation I inherited was based on Emacs 19. There were 3 people involved at the time. Then nothing happened for a long time.
I raised my hand to manage the dead project with the idea of moving it to OmegaT but Texinfo not being a supported format not much happened from a while again. Then I thought about po4a and we had the team project feature and I moved all that to sr.ht and Chapril and resumed work. That was during the pandemic.
I had two translation MA interns at the time and I had them work on it, etc. I don’t have much free time at the moment but I’m trying to advertise the thing in “professional” circles because a lot of professional translators want to get practice in volunteer projects. I “have” one volunteer at the moment and potentially another one, and I’m thinking on focusing on the intro to Elisp first. Because it’s a self-contained manual and it’s also useful by itself.
I like that Emacs has this translation readme installed now. I’m not able to help with the make file though (if you know how to fix that, please go ahead), but when somebody does it we’ll be able to advertise more and eventually more language projects will be interesting in trying to start something and install files right in the Emacs sources. po4a is very useful and makes translation easy for people who are used to the PO format.
