Thread:Translating talk:KDE/I offer my wholehearted support for this motion

I think it would be brilliant if the KDE localisation project was moved to Translatewiki.net. The current website (which uses the KDE3 style, like almost all KDE sites unfortunately) presents a large barrier to most people including me, and I was not very enthusiastic about signing up for it.

But I've always been enthusiastic about quality software translations. As a full-time KDE user (with no other operating systems/desktop environments on my computer), I would be proud to improve the quality of the translation (it's fairly complete) for the Greek language, and I strongly believe that the KDE localisation project would grow massively were it hosted on Translatewiki.net. Additionally, KDE e.V. won't have to pay for the required infrastructure anymore.

So in conclusion, I think a migration to Translatewiki.net to handle KDE translations would be greatly beneficial to the KDE Software Compilation, KDE e.V. and the KDE users' community in just about every single way possible.

My only reserve is that developers of individual applications (e.g. KDE games developers) are sometimes cut off from the wider KDE ecosystem (e.g. a lot of Kontact developers also work on Akonadi)... they would need to be exposed to Translatewiki.net somehow and be willing to take translations from here and into their software projects. I'm confident something can be worked out, though. :)
