If you are interested in the work of a reviewer, but do not meet all conditions or if you can speak an uncommon language, ask if you still qualify on the dev:translation category.
Be a Translation Manager
There are some tasks that you can do as a Translation Manager, without needing to be multilingual yourself:
- Make sure all new translations are reviewed in a reasonable amount of time
- Even better, help set up automated process to alert when this happens
- Make sure that all languages that have translations are available in modules
- Even better, help set up an automated process to alert when a module's config.xml doesn't mention a translated language
- Find commonly-used modules we aren't translating yet, and encourage module authors to get these into Transifex.
- Help recruit translators and (especially!) reviewers
- Help us craft a strategy for uncommon languages (i.e. what to do where it's too hard to find reviewers)
- (Maybe allow unreviewed translations of certain languages. Or maybe decide that if a language is that uncommon in the OpenMRS community, we shouldn't be including it.)
Thanks to Ismael Batista for volunteering in this role! (We can always use more help, though.)
