Translating PH to Portuguese

[DanielAlvesLABDH]

The Portuguese team has translated pages Index.md, Lessons.md, Project-team.md, Feedback.md, Contribute.md, Privacy-policy.md, About.md, research.md, reviewer-guidelines.md, support-us.md and Editor-guidelines.md (https://github.com/programminghistorian/jekyll/tree/gh-pages/pt). We want now to proceed to the other pages of the platform. The notes we get from @acrymble were that we were supposed to contact for advice. Don't know if this is the best way to do that, but since I need to practice on GitHub and with "issues" it sounded adequate.

@DanielAlvesLABDH please remember I asked you to let us know when translation of one of these pages starts so that we can make sure no further edits happen to it while your team are working on it. I said we'd put a 1 month pause on changes to any page you were translating. If you don't tell us this your pages may be out of sync with the rest.

@acrymble I remember that talk but has I mentioned to @JoshuaGOB and @rivaquiroga the Portuguese team will work a little bit differently because we will have two translations versions of each of the files, one made by a Brazilian colleague, the other by a Portuguese. That was done for the files mentioned above. We will start now the process of revising both files and merging them in a single final version (now on GitHub). For this second phase (that will start probably in two weeks) we will ask you to stop further edits. What I was asking here was advice on the translation of the other files. In the doc that you initially send to us you specifically mentioned "Website data that needs translating (contact Adam Crymble or Jessica Parr for advice)". Because part of the team is working on the revision process I mentioned, and part will start now the translation process of these second set of files, I'm asking advice for this second team. Thanks and sorry for the confusion...

@DanielAlvesLABDH thanks for clarifying.

I think it's best to ask @JoshuaGOB for help on those, and he may need to consult with the tech team. These are the following files:

Activities.yml
ph_authors.yml
snippets.yml
teamroles.yml
topics.yml

Similarly, it might be worth talking to a ME (maybe @rivaquiroga) about:

Translator-guidelines.md
Author-guidelines.md

As these need to be tailored to the specific needs of a publication in Portuguese. She might be able to suggest how the Spanish publication managed those.

FYI - I'm the tech team contact for this, so just let me know if you have questions.

[DanielAlvesLABDH]

Thanks both @acrymble for pointing the colleagues I should talk and @walshbr for reminding that you are the person I probably will be asking for more help when we start to upload the translations ;-)

Communications manager here: @DanielAlvesLABDH no pressure and no rush on this idea but it would be maravilhoso if, when we write a blogpost signaling the launch of PH in PT, we have a paragraph on the issues you are facing and decisions you are making on translating to Brazilian/Portuguese.

[DanielAlvesLABDH]

Great @jenniferisasi ! Nice to meet you. Already in the agenda! The Portuguese team have some peculiarities, glad to share that.

@DanielAlvesLABDH Congrats for the work of your team! A small reminder here for something that could remain unnoticed: once you prepare to launch the site and make a pull request for the PT about page, please ping or ask for review from @rivaquiroga @svmelton and me so that we all modify this part of our respective pages and add info on the PT team and launch of web site. Thanks!

[DanielAlvesLABDH]

Hi Sofia! Thanks. Will do that. We already incorporate those changes in the translated versions of that file.

[spapastamkou]

Great, thank you very much!

We expect to start the process of uploading the translations of the first set of files mentioned in my first message during next week. Since my time is very limited until the end of July and I will have my vacations on August, I want to make sure that we finish this first set of files, including the choice of the logo (#1822), during next month. The Portuguese team has two members with a better expertise on MD and GitHub then myself, and they are willing to help in this stage. My question is if they can do it, with my supervision, and how?
