Ammar,

welcome! Do you have particular languages of interest?

Because web interface translations are merged into to GeoServer source

code, translation discussions occur on the geoserver-devel mailing list.

Frank is the Transifex project maintainer:

https://www.transifex.com/GeoServer/geoserver/

Frank has written an updated translation guide that describes how to use

Transifex:

https://github.com/fgdrf/geoserver/blob/406b761bf64a4bf345db2402efc9dd4d04ae3cc0/doc/en/developer/source/translation.rst

Here is a mailing list discussion about Transifex from earlier this year:

http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/How-translating-Geoserver-through-Transifex-works-td5248325.html

( The translation guide from the developer manual is out of date and

does not mention Transifex:

http://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/developer/translation.html )

Kind regards,

Ben.

I looked briefly at the tracker, but I didn’t see any issues stating that the contributed-translations part of the docs are out-of-date.

Am I just not finding it, or should this be added?

While I’m at it, is there a clean way to find ALL the documentation-related issues in JIRA? (Like a documentation-type issue as opposed to Bug/Improvement/New Feature/etc.?) I’ll eventually be putting in a PR to get some of the WPS/Script-plugin docs more up-to-date, and I’d be happy to at least provide some basic pointers to users in other sections of the documentation where the current presentation has gotten stale (even if a more expert eye would be needed to make said sections fully exhaustive). That’ll be easier if there’s a good way to determine where current docs-deficiencies are.

Thanks,

It should be added, some of the translations have not been touched in some time.
