Hi Stefan,
I don’t know much about translation (well, anything really 
), but have you looked at how other Open Source projects manage this sort of thing?
Translation management even seems to have its own branch of Translation Management Systems. This one is open source - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GlobalSight - there may be a freely hosted deployment of it somewhere (ala git).
There’s also this extremely timely article about the translation effort of QGIS documentation:
http://www.paolocorti.net/2012/01/05/managing _documentation_translations_with_open_source_tools/ - may be worth talking to them.
Hope that helps,
Jonathan

Hi list,
after translating the missing parts of the GeoServer webinterface I would like to translate the documentation too.
For this reason, I am looking for some people who help me translating it but if you have some thoughts or experiences about tools, methods and organization things, I also would be pleased about it.
So if you have good German orthography and enough English skills, enough time for doing some parts you are welcome. You need also basic knowledge on git, ideally sphinx.
Some questions where I need discussion or hints about:
-Is it possible to manage translated and not-translated parts of the documentation with git?
-Any ideas on manageing reviews of translated parts?
-Is there a possibilty to manage a dictionnary or rulebook for translations, for example who to translate „you“ (choose „Du“ or „Sie“)?
-Would it possible or wise to create a separate list for the translation project or should all sub-discussions take place in this list? Or better in the developer list?
I am quite unsure about these questions/problems, so tell me your perception.
Thanks already for your comments
