Hello,

We, the Red Hat OSPO Community Infra team, have been maintaining translate.zanata.org since 2019. When we took over, the future of Zanata, the software behind the scene, was already uncertain. Unfortunately it has not received any love (bug or security fixes) since 2018 and in the end the project halted since no one stepped up to take over the maintenance. Activity in our instance also has reduced over time. Therefore we have decided it is time to sunset this service.

On 2024-09-09 translate.zanata.org will be shutdown. Please export all your data before this date.

To be sure everyone is aware of the shutdown, in case this mail did not reach them well or got lost in their spambox, we plan to switch off the service for about a day on 2024-06-03 and 2024-08-05.

There are a number of alternatives with comparable features but unfortunately they do not seem to have public instances. Here is a short list of leads if you plan to run you own instance (the community may also suggest affordable hosting): - [weblate](https://github.com/WeblateOrg/weblate/) ([sources](https://github.com/WeblateOrg/weblate/)) - [Jabylon](https://jabylon.org/) ([sources](https://github.com/jutzig/jabylon)) - [Pontoon](https://pontoon.mozilla.org/) ([sources](https://github.com/mozilla/pontoon/)) - [Pootle](https://pootle.translatehouse.org/) ([sources](https://github.com/translate/pootle))

Weblate is used in Red Hat projects like Fedora and works well. You can find container images as well as an OpenShift template in their installation documentation.

There are free of charge services out there which are not opensource; they may fit your need but beware not to be locked in a solution your cannot escape. Moreover certain services also require permission to exploit your translations to feed into their automatic translation system, which might not be what you want.

If you are not interested in receiving further notifications you can easily unsubscribe by sending a mail to zanata-sunset-leave@lists.osci.io (using the same email address we used to reach you).
