[i18n] Pootle for Horde

[Jānis]

Dear Jan!

I'd like to invite you to the test Pootle installation at http://pootle.dv.lv.

I think, the registration should work, but if you are rejected, you  
can log in using tulks/tulks as l/p. Please note: this virtual  
appliance is deployed on a server with limited resources so only 12  
concurrent connections are permitted by server's cfg. For demo  
purposes only some languages are created/uploaded on server. Lng files  
- from 29.02.2012 git tree. (may be at the end of the week I'll have a  
chance to put it on more powerful server).

What I already found - pootle theoretically could support the  
structure of the git tree, but to simplify translation process it  
could be possible to use the structure one can see on demo server -  
all files separated by language.

Checking out from pootle also could be easy enough - may be even not  
using git as the engine but once a day (at midnight) committing  
changes form Pootle db's to disk and making language archives, which  
later are treated on Horde's git server in order to shuffle the  
language files to the right directories.

It is possible to use git on the pootle server, but that means super  
heavy sym-linking to mimic Horde tree and actual inability to add new  
language using Pootle's tools.

As for the translation process itself - it can be done online or  
offline using routine tools and uploading the results to server by  
replacing already existing translation (of file) or putting all new  
translations as suggestions for later review by team's leader or  
permitted translators.

Until Thursday I'll attend a conference so my communication abilities  
will be limited, but Your or i18n team's suggestions are very welcome.  
Even if "We do not need this".

If you'll find it useful, I can provide the virtual machine itself for  
download and more extensive study (it is Slackware-13.37 on  
VirtualBox, the size of compressed appliance - ~300 MB).

Best regards -
Janis
