Desktop and AppData translation ?

Hi there,

I would like to answer those questions : how to help contributor to know
how/what to translate software in gnome software.

Thanks to Emmanuel (Eseyman), i understand that :
* the name of the software and one short description string are in a
.Desktop file
* the full description, link to website, etc. are in a AppData file

Both are freedesktop standards :
* http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/desktop-entry-spec/
* http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Distributions/AppStream/

Files are in the repository of each software and can be translated.
Everything is not in Zanata, but even so I don't think there is a way to
find only those files in zanata.

Anyway, I still would like to have an overview of a language and after
blind searching, I found this website :
https://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/screenshots/f23/
It gives you :
* a graphic status page that shows you what's in fedora actually :
https://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/screenshots/f23/status.html
* a matrix page that shows you what's good and bad for each package :
https://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/screenshots/f23/matrix.html

Still, nothing related to translation.
Luckily, everything is in a big xml file :
https://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/screenshots/f23/fedora-23.xml.gz
You can search for you locale, like "fr" and see what's translated.

Do anyone know who is taking care of that website and where is the code ?

Thanks for you help
