Hello, as described in The Babylonian 2, Sabine Cretella and I had a meeting with Sandy Ordonez in the last month. One of outcomes were an idea of [[TR]] improvement.
Then we reached the conclusion that some kind of simplicity would be nice to that page.
From several people I heard they have difficulties to get involved
into translation mainly due to complexity of [[TR]] series. They hardly found the page they might be a help. And even for me, the pages increasing in number are hard to grasp in a minutes. Also, there are no instruction for newcomers. And today we have two portal pages: [[Translations]] and [[TR]] and their merger have been one of our concerns. All those concerns are better to solve as soon as possible.
Now I am developing a possible replacement on my userpage [[User:Aphaia/Sandbox]]. Today I wrote two kind of "Translate me" page where people can submit their requests (of course if you have no problem to set it up on TR/Translations, please do. It is a kind of "XX for dummies"). One earlier created page is verbose and later one is a bit simple (too much?). Perhaps via media would be better .... and you can help us to find the way.
Please visit two pages and give your comment to [[User talk:Aphaia/Sandbox]] (not [[Talk:TR]] for avoiding confusion with the current TR related talks, if any).
