−	~~= Language administrator tasks =~~

−	~~There are a few things that only administrators of the language can do: accepting suggestions as translations, and committing translations to see how they look at staging.creativecommons.org.~~
−
−	~~== Accepting suggestions ==~~
−
−	Handling suggestions in Pootle is very easy. If on in the '''translation screen''' you see a message reading, ''View Suggestions'', you can click it to show the suggestions that have been made as well as the name of the user who made the suggestion.
−
−	~~[[Image:Pootle_view_suggestions_dropped_down.png\|frame\|The ''View Suggestions'' option available next to a message.]]~~
−
−	~~If you want to act on those suggestions, click the ''Edit'' link at the end of the row. This will bring you to the full edit screen with that message selected.~~
−
−	~~[[Image:Pootle_edit_screen_with_suggestion.png\|frame\|The edit screen with a suggestion visible.]]~~
−
−	You can click on the green check-mark or the red X; they will accept or reject the suggestion respectively. If you want to accept a modified version of the suggestion, you can click the green check-mark to accept the suggestion and then edit it in the translation field. Be sure to hit ''submit'' afterwards.
−
−	~~== Creative Commons' "Staging" website ==~~
−
−	~~We run an experimental clone of the Creative Commons website at http://staging.creativecommons.org/. The ''cc_org'' translation catalog is made available in near-real-time in two places.~~
−
−	* The staging license chooser at [http://staging.creativecommons.org/license http://creativecommons.org/license/] allows you to preview questions users see when they choose a license.
−	* The staging deeds at, for example, [http://staging.creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/no/ http://staging.creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/no/] show the localized versions of the human-readable license deeds.
−
−	~~For both of these, appending ?lang=no lets you see the Norwegian translation; that should work for any short language code.~~
−
−	~~== Committing translations ==~~
−
−	Language editors can use the ''commit'' facility in Pootle to permanently store their changes. Each commit is a permanent snapshot of the PO file. In addition, we only update ''staging.creativecommons.org'' once you commit.
−
−	~~As a result, the commit feature is very useful as as "preview" feature. To use it, you must have the commit privilege to a language in Pootle.~~
−
−	~~Start at the message catalogs page, as seen below:~~
−
−	~~[[Image:Pootle_show_editing_functions.png\|frame\|The message catalogs page with ''Show Editing Functions'' highlighted]]~~
−
−	~~Follow the link to '''Show Editing Functions'', and you arrive at a page like this:~~
−
−	~~[[Image:Pootle_editing_functions.png\|frame\|The editing functions page]]~~
−
−	Click on "Commit," and after a somewhat substantial wait, you will see a message indicating that some files were committed. (If there are no changes, then Pootle will not actually perform a commit.) You can then expect that ''staging.creativecommons.org'' is up-to-date with respect to the language you are working on.
−
−	~~== Pushing to the live site ==~~
−
−	WHen you are happy with your changes as they appear on ''staging.creativecommons.org'', email webmaster@creativecommons.org to request that we update the main creativecommons.org website with your translations. You should expect a response saying it's done within a couple of work days at the longest.
−
−	~~== Granting permissions ==~~
−
−	~~As a language administrator, you can grant privileges to other translators who have shown their ability to provide good-quality text. To do that,~~
