Official Joomla! Website

Description

Joomla! is a free and open-source content management system (CMS) for publishing web content.
Over the years Joomla! has won several awards. It is built on a model–view–controller web application framework that can be used independently of the CMS that allows you to build powerful online applications.

Joomla! is one of the most popular website software, thanks to its global community of developers and volunteers, who make sure the platform is user friendly, extendable, multilingual, accessible, responsive, search engine optimized and so much more.

This project was born in 2005 and over all these years hundreds of developers have work to improve it.
There are over 2 millions of websites created with Joomla!.
Here you can find many of them, including some of the most relevant owned by famous people, brands and companies, such as Michael Phelps, Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation and others.

Why this project

This is the second project I work on, since my beginning as an approved translator. I'm very glad my Language Manager @mcassani proposed Joomla! to me, because it's very challenging to give my contribution to such an important, popular and useful software like this. I had the chance in these last years to create, together with my husband, a couple of websites for our business; being free to build, maintain and modify your website whenever you like, it's something very convenient, instead of trying to explain your ideas to someone else, even if professional.
It's quite easy to use Joomla! and it offers plenty of templates and extensions to customise your website.
This project has been previously translated by other users covering the 82% of the total: being such an important and huge software, there were still more than 20000 words to be translated.

Contribution Specifications

This is my fourth contribution to Joomla! translation in which I had to jump from a file to another to reach my goal, because of the many repetitions, codes and commands found. I faced also several strings partially translated: this fact sometime need more time than translating without any suggestion, because you have to verify if those sentences or words are correct and if they are taken from the official italian website terms or not.
According to Crowdin count I had to go through 1900 words to get more than 1000 clean words. Almost everyday Joomla team adds new strings to render, so in this work I translated also new sections of the Privacy Policy file, that I've already handled in my first contribution.
Notes: In many English expressions you will find words in the singular, while in Italian we use plural for a better performance: for example "Table of Indexed Content" will become "Tabella dei Contenuti Indicizzati".
