Hello,
in the last 3/4 days I've seen an huge rise of the DeltaChat translation
teams join requests. I've also noticed that many of them (4 pending user
at the moment, 3 Russians and 1 Ukrainian) have all signed up on
Transifex today. I suppose that some of them may be spammers or
something like that. I usually don't approve/deny any non-italian user
because the Language coordinators can do that, but I'm afraid that these
users can do something bad. On the other hand, these user could be real
users that just want to join the project... What should I do in your
opinion? It's better to leave the Language coordinators the choice to
approve/deny the users or it's better to send a message to these users
and see if they reply? Some big projects ask some questions just to be
sure if the users are real users.
Thanks,
Enrico

I think leaving that to locale coordinators is safe. They can see how
new members behave and act accordingly.
Also, many members can be dormant for months and one day shoot a
complete translation, or considerable amounts of contribution. You
never know.
I'm really curious about “…big projects asking some questions…” as I
never had any such case myself.
Best,
Besnik

And so somebody adds translators without the coordinators' question. A
few days ago someone was added to the Polish group.

Hi Sebastian, Enrico, all
Xenia yesterday sent an ask out to some tech channels
to help with DeltaChat translations and quite a number
of people reacted apparently. So Bjoern and me admitted them.
In general acceptance of new language members so far
has been opportunistic: rather admit first and block/cancel
if problems occur (did it happen yet?)
FYI both desktop and android development was/is pretty heavy currently
as we are trying to push out good new releases in 2018 ...
which is why we were reaching out to folks to help with translations.
Personally i think that "reviewing" is quite important --
when i did this for german i found a lot of things and someone
else is currently going through reviewing.

Nothing has happened yet, but this newly accepted man did not contribute
to the translation and did not reply to my message.
If it's about translating a new file strings.xml then I won't do
anything until I see the running application and the location of these
strings.
This is my proven translation principle.

Sure, it's hard to translate when the context is not really known.
If you like you could install the latest Android delta-dev (which uses
the strings.xml) from the "Assets" section here:
https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-android-ii/releases
I advise to use it with a test-account -- drop me a private e-mail
if you need one as we can generate test imap/smtp accounts
quite easily on the "testrun.org" domain.
