The goal of this modules is enable contributors with little or no previous localization experience to learn and contribute localizations using Narro web based tool. The sprint modules takes participants through each step of localization using hands on exercises. | |||
Some of the exercises covered in this module are: | |||
* Logging in and setting up your localization language preferences | |||
* Navigating around Narro | |||
* Translating strings | |||
* Learning by reviewing others translations | |||
* Voting and commenting on translations | |||
* Testing using generated Language packs | |||
Participants are assisted by experienced members of the localization team during the sprint. Discussions and one-on-one mentoring is encouraged. Remote participation via Ustream (for video), IRC and twitter. | |||
The localization team lead or manager would lead the peer review process by taking up each translation and explain the merits and demerits of the translation. This helps build the understand of the localizaiton conventions and improves the quality of the translation. | |||
Participants would have worked each phase of translate,review and testing by the end of this module. This builds the confidence of the new contributors and fosters new mentoring relationships. | |||
