Sugar Labs and OLPC benefit greatly from work done upstream (Fedora, GNOME, etc.).  These upstream projects typically host their own localization and in order for us to get the greatest benefit from these projects, it is important that we check on and contribute to their localization of the modules and languages of interest to Sugar Labs / OLPC.  The benefits of making these upstream contributions flow directly back to Sugar labs / OLPC as we get our L10n bits for these packages from the upstream.

These projects have formal localization projects with a hosting server and typically a language team that acts as the gatekeeper for new L10n.  It is necessary to learn about their L10n process and possibly join their language team to contribute.

While this is hosted locally it is listed on this page again to emphasis that these are the strings involved in switching from the Sugar UI to the GNOME UI in recent OLPC builds.

Recent OLPC builds are dual boot in Sugar and GNOME UIs.  We inherit the GNOME L10n bits from the upstream, so in order to have a fully localized XO laptop, it is critical to make sure that the L10n of the GNOME modules we pull into our build process are complete.

These are specific GNOME modules tha are pulled into OLPC builds.  Please work on these first when you go to work on upstream L10n.  There are dummy PO files in the Pootle Upstream L10n project that are not meant to be translated literally, but instead serve the purpose of acting as :tracking tickets" to record the status of the upstream L10n effort.

These projects have less formal localization projects.  They typically employ a general L10n mailing list (or sometimes a language team specific list) and completed PO files are posted to the lists for review and commit.  In other cases, the completed PO is posted as an attachment to a ticket in their bug tracker.  It is necessary to learn about their L10n process and possibly join their language team to contribute.

In some cases, we may decide to host a copy of the upstream POT file locally, but this is only for the convenience of allowing our localizers to work in a familiar tool (Pootle) and to allow us to track completion status.  To get the translated PO file submitted, it is still necessary to work though the upstream's process.
