Set up Transifex for Maptime

[almccon]

@qyu is translating Maptime materials to Chinese. Is Transifex the best approach? Can we set this up for maptime.io, and also have separate transifex projects for tutorials, too?

[qyu]

Transifex is really user friendly. I know fieldpaper and HOT is on it. And I am working on those projects also.

@qyu, do you have a link to the project on Transifex? I'm not quite familiar with it but would love to try it out!

[qyu]

We haven't set up Transifex for the Maptime yet, but you could try the LearnOSM project. It's under the HOT project.

See maptime/maptime.github.io#56

Set up a maptime transifex organization. I can add HQ folks as admins, and others as maintainers or translators as requested. https://www.transifex.com/maptime/

Made a project for the website but then deleted as there's a choice to be made between uploading source files as resources for translation and what they call their new "Live" option which is supposed to be better for websites.

Not really sure how all of this works, but here are some resources:

• The LearnOSM repo and their Transifex account

Hi @geobrando, I tried checking out the maptime organization on transifex, and that link gives a 404.

@almccon Hmmm.. Their server must have been down. I know they've been working on a redesign. Works fine now. I created a project for the site https://www.transifex.com/maptime/maptimeio/

[almccon]

You're right. Works now. Cool! Yeah, please add me as an admin. I'll do what I can to help facilitate maintainers and translators.
