Goals
- Translation Process Improvements
- Internationalization / Localization Improvements
Translation Process Improvements
- critique of the current translation tools and process,
- help evaluate other tools,
- ensure it works for your workflow,
- help with a good workflow,
- documentation on a new improved process,
- help with creating resources for other translators (like a list of common pitfalls, or a template for making certain terms translated in a consistent way across CiviCRM),
- help with adjusting/extending/rewriting the current tools we use in the backend,
- help with coming up (or fixing existing tools) we use for keeping the translations of various CiviCRM versions synchronised
- help with extending the tools with any features deemed desirable (Google Translate hints?).
Internationalization / Localization Improvements
- support for different address format depending on location (example: US vs European postcode position) CRM-3854@jira
- Mailing labels, but also when addressing organizations and people in bulk mailings.
- add full (as per format) address token
- make it trivial to customize specific strings within a translation (for example: change "Contribution" to "Donation") CRM-6154@jira
- support for different languages when sending bulk mailings (based on preferred communication language, see CRM-6138@jira), support for translation of titles and prefixes
- International organizations which works with many countries, have several official languages (UN and UN organizations, all hundreds of them is a good example) and when sending newsletters and other material need to address the recipients in quite formal tone.

- gettext context support (see CRM-6049@jira)
- split of domain.config_backend? CRM-3349@jira

- Check use of truncate vs mb_truncate in templates, since non-latin names are sometimes badly truncated CRM-6139@jira
- When inheriting the CMS language, regional languages (fr_CA, pt_BR) are ignored CRM-6140@jira
