Revision as of 00:02, 28 July 2010


Creative Commons is currently transfering the management of translations for our web site and open source software projects from Pootle to Transifex. During this process, the references to Pootle and related materials in this page are out of date.

There are several opportunities for translators to get involved with Creative Commons projects.

Creative Commons uses Pootle to manage translations for the web site and our open source software projects. We wrote a set of tutorials on using Pootle for translations. Information on translating using gettext and poEdit is also available.

creativecommons.org

Check out the video tutorials in our Translating with Pootle guide!

The license engine, deeds and legal code hosted at creativecommons.org are all translated directly by CC jurisdiction partner institutions. While there are usually people at the partner institutions who handle these translations, you can suggest translations for them using our Pootle server.

For CC Project Leads
To set up translations for your jurisdiction's language(s), please:

  1. Select one or more people to manage your translations
  2. Each translator should create an account as described below
  3. Email the translator usernames to CC CTO Nathan Yergler

For Translators

  1. Go to Transifex.net and create an account. Once you have validated your email address, log in.
  2. Go to the Translation Teams tab for the Creative Commons project.
    • If a team already exists for the language that interestes you, then click on that language and then click the "Join this team" button, which will allow you to send a message to the coordinator for that language asking then to allow you to become a member of that team.
    • If a team doesn't yet exist for the language that interests you then simply click the "Request a new team" button at the bottom of the list of available teams. This will send an email to the administrator for the Creative Commons project requesting the new team.

wiki.creativecommons.org

We'd like every page on this wiki to be translated into as many languages as possible. See CcWiki:Translate for details.
