Event idea: Translathon #21

What about organizing an event where people translate Codeberg software together.

The idea in a nutshell:

• requirements for projects:
  • having localization and using Codeberg Weblate
  • Codeberg's Weblate must be in a working state (e.g. not locked / up to date) - but they can also ask for help during the meeting
  • the maintainers need to communicate times during which they plan to be available
• projects "register" to take part by contacting us and adding a "translathon" label to their repo topics
• during the day or even the whole weekend, we have a meeting room that allows for translations
• we publish a list of projects and when the maintainers plan to be around
• during this time, users can get in touch with the developers to
  • ask questions / clarifications
  • discuss deficiencies with the design system (e.g. plural support etc)
  • translate the game with other translators
• translators can come and go at any other time, but they might be "alone" with their project
• we could also consider announcing language meetups (e.g. getting feedback from other French translators for a project)

ToDos:

• find a date and time (a weekend? whole day?)
• encourage projects to participate
• announce the event and schedule
• be available and help
• eventually ping the Weblate maintainers to also schedule a "help with Weblate" session?

What about the weekend October 12 + 13?

It should be sufficient for preparation assuming we start within the next days.
And it is shortly before the Forgejo release so it potentially allows to improve the translation status and save the need for frequent backports.

It also fits me personally, because it is after my last exam and I think it allows some of my family members to participate, too.
