Correct and those contributions matter as much as packaging and development.
Thanks :-)
Me, for instance, I translate. And I have no idea what basing on SLES will suppose for us.
Well translating release notes for something that is called 13.3 or 42.1 should be about the same, taking the release notes as an example. Longer term the translation would potentially be more cyclic w.r.t. to the amount of translation needed. In a SLE-source based release idea there would be fewer changes between lets say 42.1, 42.2 than there will be 42.2 and 43.1 as within the 42 series changes to the "core" are expected to be very small while the transition to 43 would bring an "everything is new" distribution. Currently we get a ""everything is new" distribution with every "regular" release.
Translating release notes is almost trivial :-) The problem is the translation of software. Currently we translate yast and zypper, and a number of programs for which openSUSE is upstream. We don't translate KDE, gnome, xfce, libreoffice, etc: that's done by their respective upstream projects. Now, SLES is translated, at least some core languages, by paid translators. Often those same programs are translated differently by the openSUSE volunteer translators. And we dedicate more time and effort and love to it than the paid translators, I'm proud to say. But with code ported from SLES, at least some of the openSUSE translators will be "out of a job". It is not clear at all what we will do. And no, we don't translate tumbleweed. Some individuals dedicate some time to it, but it is basically not done. We can't. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
