Choosing a review policy

You can help maintain the quality of your project's translations by adopting a review policy. This sets who can submit suggestions, directly enter translations and review translations for your project.

The review policy you choose is closely linked with the translation group you choose, as their role is largely dictated by your project's review policy.

Launchpad offers you four policies:

• Open: anyone can submit translations directly to your project in Launchpad. Great for encouraging drive-by contributions.

• Structured: if your project's translation group has assigned an individual or team to a particular language, only that person or members of that team can review and accept translation strings for that language. Anyone can suggest a translation for those languages, though. For languages that aren't covered by a translation group, anyone can directly submit a translation.

• Restricted: similar to structured, except that translations are closed on languages that don't have an individual or team assigned to it within the translation group.

• Closed: only people or teams appointed in the appropriate translation group can suggest or make translations. Translation is closed to everyone else. This is ideal if your project requires an agreement to transfer copyright before starting work.

Set your project's permissions policy at https://translations.launchpad.net/<your-project>/+changetranslators.
