Translation Guidelines

[AntoineTurmel]

Some locales have matching Translation Guidelines such as German :

Where should we copy them ? On the wiki ? On the forum ? On Babelzilla ? (could be useful for others projects)

Babelzilla has most of these guidelines already, and the page you linked to contains a link to it :)

I'm for adding them as links (where available) or text to the locale's team discussion as now for de: http://forum.getnightingale.com/thread-541-post-2400.html

So I have created a wiki article based on the Songbird one: http://wiki.getnightingale.com/doku.php?id=l10n:guidelines
I will put specific locale guidelines on wiki and they can be discussed on the forum, is it ok ?

@GeekShadow, I'd prefer to keep the locale-specific part in the locale-specific forum thread. All global rules (like do not translate &brandShortName; and stuff) should go into the wiki or some other global thing, though. Maybe locale-specific and/or locale-unspecific forum threads can put a link to that ressource in the first posts or something.

I agree with @rsj(sorry,phone has no autocompletion)

I've looked through our backup of the bs wiki and could only find dutch translation guidelines in addition to the german ones.
I've also added a link to our guidelines in each topic.
