Translation -- Files to translate
Am I correct in assuming that we should only be looking to translate the
files from the "edge" directory? Or should I also bring over some of the
specific version files into the crowdin translation system?
I'm working on the automated script that compares the github files to
those in crowdin and makes sure we have the latest and wanted to make sure
I was correct in assuming for now it'd just be edge. (side note: I know
that we're going to be moving out some of the documentation from the
cordova-docs dir eventually. So we'll have to pull in the plugin specific
documentation when the time comes)
Thanks for the input,
Lisa

I think it would be better for us to track the releases instead of 'edge'.
We can start with the latest release (3.0.0).
Today:
The 'edge' files change regularly and in the past we've never had a
translator dedicated to keeping up with the daily changes.
The more sane approach has been to pick a release and translate it, because
that documentation is less likely to change.
So for now, I think it would be better to try and translate the latest
official release (e.g. 3.0.0).
Tomorrow:
Soon, most of the documentation will be pulled out of cordova-docs and put
into the cordova-plugin-xxx repos. At this time, we will drop versioning by
directory and rely on git tags.
By the time this happens, hopefully we'll have used Crowdin for a bit. If
we are finding that it's easy for translators to stay on top of incremental
changes, then we can consider tracking the git HEAD (the new 'edge'). If
not, then we will track tags. An important feature that we need from
Crowdin is the ability to recognize when a repository has been re-tagged.
That is, the 3.1.0 tag being updated. When this happens, our contributors
have updated a releases documentation.

Mike Brooks will have some thoughts on this. (He's refactoring the docs
generator now.)
I just sent him a ping to respond.

Re: Translation -- Files to translate

Two consideration here I think:
1. Might depend on how the system handles changes to the files. The files
within edge/ change pretty regularly, so it would be annoying if for each
one-line change the file needed to be entirely re-translated.
2. edge/ gets snapshotted on each release, so if our goal is to have
translations done at the time of release, then edge/ will work well. If
translations lag behind, it might be better to have the latest stable as
the source so that they can be done after a release.
