Team activities with release
============================
This page documents what the i18n team and teams concerned needs to do around
OpenStack releases.
This page documents what I18n team concerns and which things are needed
to do with OpenStack releases. Each OpenStack release has around 6-month cycle
and the corresponding schedule is available on https://releases.openstack.org/
(e.g., https://releases.openstack.org/ocata/schedule.html describes Ocata
release schedule).
#. (Project) Release milestone-3. "Soft StringFreeze" is in effect.
#. (Translator) Start translations for the release.
One of main goals in I18n team is to incorporate translated strings into a new
release so that more global users experience translated version of OpenStack.
To accomplish this goal, some of team activities need to be aligned
with a release schedule.
.. note::
I18n team sets target projects to be translated and prioritizes
during around the Forum (renamed from the Design Summit).
Current translation plan and priority are available on
`translation dashboard <https://translate.openstack.org/>`_.
