CentOS docs - Dec 2019 - CentOS website/blog localization support for IT (italian...) language

Hi guys, greetings from Italy.

My name is Andrea Flori and I work in an IT company who give Linux
support to his customers

I am somehow involved with CentOS in the last 3 years (both for
private/personal use and work) and I think that time is arrived to
give some contribution to the project.

In the last 3 years, I am somehow involved with CentOS (both for
private/personal use and work) and I think that's time is arrived to
give some contribution to the project.

I haven't a super technician skill so I think that the best support I
can give now is to help translate the CentOS website/blog to Italian.

So why not to start from a good basepoint like this -> "Contribute to
the Wiki"?
[ https://wiki.centos.org/Contribute ]

And of course also the related ones ...

Like this :
https://wiki.centos.org/ToDo
https://wiki.centos.org/Donate
https://wiki.centos.org/Promote
https://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Wiki/Editing
https://wiki.centos.org/Newsletter/Contributing
https://centos.org/download/

Some translations, harder and complex, will come after a first
training period if I'll be able to survive to the extra job that this
task requires :-)

I'm talking about :
 - https://wiki.centos.org/FAQ
 - https://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOSStream
 - https://wiki.centos.org/HowTos
 - https://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks

Some questions :
- There's some Italian guy on this list? Who wants to help me in this job?
- There's already some translation job started but not finished to
reuse / from which start from?
- What's the relationship (from the translation point of view) of the
website, the blog and the mailing-list? Blog and Website are on the
same web publishing platform?
- There's some dictionary with shared and clear key words? (Like using
"host" for "server", etc.) ?
- There're some guidelines about how to do the translation task?

I can't access this link... what's wrong? What's the purpose of this
page?

Happy hacking a tutti !

PS : I'll in Bruxelles next January @ FOSDEM 2020, so I'll try to meet
you at Dojo on Friday, 31-JAN (I'll arrive in the morning at the
airport, before midday on the Marriot hotel)

Hi all, still again here...

I'm doing some working to start the Italian translation job (build a
glossary and share some good rules to approach translation task)

I've analyzed the wiki software (MoinMoin) and found it extremely
useful and simple
and I'm trying to get in touch with the it-translator-team of that platform.

I've two questions :
1) Can you share the usage/mostly accessed page on the wiki (to choose
where to start from the translating job and also to check how many
pages are served from the /it/ sub roots)
2) Is there/can we access an svn/git repository to save/backup the
translated page (both shared with another language translator team or
specific to our use)

and also ...

Exactly what's https://planet.centos.org?
It seems to be a historical overview of what's happened in the CentOS
community from the beginning of 2017 until today ...

Can I also translate this? Perhaps starting from the beginning of 2019 posts...
I noted this page seems to be served and managed from a different
platform (http://www.planetplanet.org/)

Again Happy hacking a tutti!

Fleur

PS: Even any references, errors and related lessons learned by other
translators can help, so ... don't hesitate to give me suggestions and
useful tips

No, I don't think we track any stats of that nature.

planet.centos is a blog aggregator. However, since we have almost no 
active bloggers in our community, it ends up just being a mirror of the 
main blog.centos.org site. A while back I looked around for some active 
centOS bloggers who were posting quality content, and came up with 
almost nothing. If you're aware of any, we can try to get them added on.

If you think there's value in translating these blog posts, I suppose 
that would be fine. I'm not sure, though, where we would host that content.

I'll reply to myself only to redo a point of where we've arrived and
what I need to start my job

On last Monday 9th Dec I Wrote
> What I can give now is to help translate the CentOS website/blog to italian
language.
I followed the steps suggested in the Contribute to the Wiki [1] page
- Create a login account with username in the right format: FirstnameLastname
- Subscribed me to the CentOS-docs mailing list
- Sent a message to that mailing-list " CentOS-docs" after I've
received the subscription notification
- Wait a bit that someone in the AdminGroup creates the requested
pages and give me editing rights

So, after I've verified that my email arrived, has been archived, and
no reply was sent to that, I'm now at the check step "...If there were
no replies then be persistent and resend your original email".

I think that after my first proposal with a long list of pages to be
translated can be revised to start directly from this shorten list :
(Yes, I'm official asking to edit this pages)

 - https://wiki.centos.org/it/Contribute?action=edit
 - https://wiki.centos.org/it/HowTos/Wiki/Editing?action=edit
 - https://wiki.centos.org/it/FrontPage?action=edit
 - https://wiki.centos.org/it/Documentation?action=edit

Can someone read this message (Rich are you there?) directly involved
in the CentOS Project support me with this request to the AdminGroup?

It's time to strike while the iron is hot

Forgive my impertinence but I'm impatient to start giving a -small-
but I think useful contribute to the project

Happy hacking
