In response to a couple issues that came up:
When translations go online (to the php.net mirrors):
------------
There isn't a true algorithm or formula to determine this, but the most negative factor is old
content. For example, if a translation is 30% translated but most of that is critically old and
outdated, then it won't be online. A fresh English file is preferred over an old translation.
But let's say a translation is 20% translated but without critically old files, then it'd
live online. Maybe we can come up with a simpler method but for now it follows a gut check, and is
manually configured.
However, languages that build (current or in the past) do show up on the doc mirror:
- http://docs.php.net/download-docs.php?sizes=1
A proper and detailed translation specific HOWTO:
------------
I once started the process of rewriting it here:
- http://wiki.php.net/doc/howto/translations
But then realized I lack proper experience and translations knowledge to write it. Hopefully others
(Alexey and Yago?) will add details and tips, and eventually we'll have a proper translation
HOWTO. The main part we're missing is how to update files from extremely old to new. And how to
restart and/or manage a translation, and keep it active. And a translations FAQ would be useful.
