Translation - how to proceed when all words are translated?

Suppose a translation is 99% finished except for a few unclear cases. What's next?

  1. How do I fetch the finished translation into my local install of Askbot?

  2. If I see errors in my translation while browsing askbot.org or my local Askbot install - e.g. Inappropriately Capitalized Words Within A Sentence - what is the easiest way to find that specific word in Rosetta and fix it? Is there some sort of search function or full view? Or is this kind of translation work easiest to do in the .po file itself? I solved this once in a PHP app that admins got direct links to the translations of all words used on the current page. Maybe such a tool exists as an addition to Rosetta?

  3. What should the long term policy on translations be? How will translators learn that new words have come up in updates and migrations that need to be updated? Will Askbot's developers be notifying people? Should there be a list of translators who are willing to do further work when needed?

Translation - how to proceed when all words are translated?

Here is a list of question I'm having for the phase after the actual translation process.

  1. How do to I fetch the finished translation into my local install of Askbot? (I'll be answering that one in a minute)

  2. If I see errors in a translation I made while browsing askbot.org or my local Askbot install, what is the easiest way to find that specific translation in Rosetta and fix it? Is there some sort of search function or full view? Or is this kind of translation work easiest to do in the .po file itself?
