Community Translation User Group

• Second Life Knowledge Base
• Wiki
• Other relevant information

NOTE: Next meeting is Thurs, April 7.

Schedule

Every other Thursday at 12pm PT at http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Localization%20Central/205/50/31

Also see the calendar of public user group meetings.

Agenda

Agenda for the next user group meeting is:

• I just would like to mention why we keep asking about the translation of the terms of service (no need to discuss)
  • German (and I believe most of european) trade law requires companies doing business with germans (most europeans) to either NOT have a localized website or if the website is localized to have available the terms of service in the languages provided by the company's website. If any company infringes trade law the terms of service are null and void. With that in mind and knowing which fines companies had to pay for infringement of european law I really think it makes sense to keep asking about a translation before Linden Lab is being sued and bankrupt as the result.

• Volunteer(s) to take and post minutes of this meeting?
• Should Localization Central be public access during user group meetings?
• Which languages will contribute and how much contribution is expected from CT members (areas of contribution)
• Future workflow for contributions
  • knowledge base
  • new viewer strings
  • viewer strings improvements
  • other miscellaneous requests
• Open bugs from Viewer 2 Beta and future releases
• How to become a Community Translator?
• Three questions added by Irene Muni (in my opinion, these 3 questions would be more appropriate for the Private Forum, but it seems that, today, the Lindens don't read those forums LOL):
  • What should go on the Private Forum and what on the mailing list? Which is the better way to receive responses from Lindens? (from a not answered question by Boroondas Gupte).
  • Is it necessary (and appropriate) the totally outdated wiki page of the Localization Potal about Top Translators in the Community Translation Project?
  • If we have a translation of a KB article NOT suggested in the KB TRanslation Project, where should we post that translation: wiki page, KB article...?
