I finally understand how it's work. The tm_suggestion goes directly under the translations when there is results. In my case there was no result because I only have one project and my unit source are technical keys.
Is it possible to configure how the tm server store the translations and retrieve them ? Because in my case the feature is useless. My .po files use a technical key as "msgid" and become the unit.source in pootle (exemple: company.edit.title). In this case, pootle try to find on the pm server how I translate "company.edit.title" which is a nonsence. I want him to search for the english translation for exemple: How did I translate "Edit company:" string in my previous project.
Is this possible without changing my po files ?

One other thing, when I translate my italian units, pootle show me tm_suggestion in technical to french language. Why ?

What is the difference between Markdown vs Docx vs HTML files?

@Bachstelze

Markdown has very easy syntax and is often used for documentations. Docx is commercial garbage and HTML is the format for nearly every website.

What is the reason for all the unmerged PRs?
It will be horrible to merge them after the rewrite to python3! With this in mind it could be better to rewrite pootle completly to a lightweight, maintainable translation tool.

Just to say I went to Weblate and I'm very satisfied, at the moment, weblate have more documentation, is more easy to setup, configure.. and have a modern UI: https://weblate.org/fr/ (weblate seem to be a fork of pootle)

I have a tamil PDF which has embedded font...I tried in many softwares but nothing gets converted to word....Even in worst case, got converted with many tricks, Still the converted word doesn't have unicode text or unable to convert the font to unicode...Unable to change the font to a different font or different unicode font....

The only way.....

Convert a PDF file to Images - each page with each image
Give the image to Google Cloud Vision OCR. It gives 100% unicode text where we can change the font.
Prepare the document

The above process is very time consuming and cumbersome process.

Do we have anything or any software to Convert PDF to Unicode Word Document ???

If not, is something is possible as below

a. Support PDF file conversion to Text. Internally convert each page to image and get the contents in Text
b. Capture the formats, lines, spaces in PDF
c. Create a Word Document by applying the text with format
d. Option to download the Word Document

Does any other software does this???

Hello everyone.

I started conversation with fwolff about updating Translate House's Localization Guide. My idea is to at least tackle existent issues and PRs, but many more improvements could be made. The way I see, It would be awesome to have this guide as central point for some localization concepts and generic info on FOSS translation, plus point to also have more up-to-date info on other upstream projects (GNOME, KDE, etc.)

Any thoughts? Does anyone want to join in?

@unho @phlax Can I have access to Localization Guide project in readthedocs ? I have access to GitHub and I'm updating stuff, but web integration doesn't seem to be enabled.
