Conversations: Use Weblate as translation platform

Created on 9 Jul 2015 · 5Comments · Source: iNPUTmice/Conversations

CopyQ, Exaile, Money Manager EX and even Gammu are currently being translated at https://hosted.weblate.org/ using Weblate which provides integration with Git.

Move away from Transifex. It appears they are not interested in freedom.

@GreenLunar That issue is fixed, Weblate got better, and Hosted Weblate is gratis for libre software projects. Transifex managed to get a whole lot worse:

You grant Transifex a non-exclusive, world-wide, perpetual, royalty-free, irrevocable, sublicensable and transferable license to use your words for purposes of performing the Services.

https://www.transifex.com/legal/terms/

We offer Transifex for free to Open Source projects (http://docs.transifex.com/faq/#what-is-considered-an-open-source-project) that have no funding, revenue, and/or commercialization model.

https://www.transifex.com/pricing/

The above $1500 a month pricing is for "Starting at 100 collaborators", which means Conversations.

This is not a new situation. This was already the case when we switched to using transifex.

Some still do not know it is proprietary. We can switch at anytime.

Currently this feature is available only for commercial (non public) translations. This might change once nijel/weblate/issues/516 is implemented.

When restricting access would be possible, I will ask, again, to migrate to Weblate.
