I have manually quote Roozbeh reply from the web, as my email was down for several days. ---quoted message--- Please note that in some languages one may need to use different part of speech (grammatical forms) to translate things only changing in one word. One cannot assume that this can always be done using a %s. Languages are different. So, you should simply copy the translations and simply change the word each time, if your language translates these to the same thing only with the word changed. roozbeh ---end quoted message-- I thought Gettext has solved this issue by using plural form string for the msgstr? And I personally don't think the issue is about the singular or plural form, because it not related to numbers or counts. The %s only address the special word used in the sentence, which is the name of the daemon, such as cyrus, smtpd, httpd, etc. I don't think other language translate that daemon name to their own language and character sets, right? ------------------------ Sharuzzaman Ahmat Raslan

Fedora Core 3 Release Notes translation
by Andrew Martynov 26 Apr '05

26 Apr '05

Hello, Sarah and Jeremy! We has discussed in June question about translation of FC3 Release Notes. I understand Red Hat team should be very careful with this document but end user is waiting good translation of whole product. I suppose translation teams could provide good enough "unofficial" translation of Release Notes. I see some points to discuss: - remark of "unofficial" status of translation in title - copyright notice of original document and translation - file format and encoding ( plain text and html in unicode UTF-8 ) Please find attached translation of Release Notes for FC3 test2 as sample. Best regards, Andrew Martynov Russian translation team

too many repeated string in system-config-securitylevel
by Sharuzzaman Ahmat Raslan 24 Apr '05

24 Apr '05

Hello, I'm in the process of translating system-config-securitylevel. I found out that there are too many repeatable string that only differ in single word, where the word can be replaced %s in the source. The example is as below: ----- #: ../src/selinux.tbl:22 #, fuzzy msgid "Disable Selinux protection for crond daemon" msgstr "Matikan perlindungan Selinux untuk daemon xfs" #: ../src/selinux.tbl:23 #, fuzzy msgid "Disable Selinux protection for cupsd daemon" msgstr "Matikan perlindungan Selinux untuk daemon xfs" #: ../src/selinux.tbl:24 #, fuzzy msgid "Disable Selinux protection for cyrus daemon" msgstr "Matikan perlindungan Selinux untuk daemon xfs" ----- See that the only thing that differs is crond, cupsd and cyrus Thank you. ----- Sharuzzaman Ahmat Raslan

Selinux Contexts
by Pedro Fernandes Macedo 20 Apr '05

20 Apr '05

While translating system-config-securitylevel , we had a little question: should the context names be translated? For now , we've opted to keep the contexts in english (since the context name will be in english when you run ls -Z). We'd like some input from the other translators to see what is being done in this regard. Thanks. Pedro Macedo pt_BR team

Does anyone know if Sarah is still the localization coordinator for Fedora? I emailed her and emailed i18n(a)redhat.com several times but I'm not getting an answer. Can anyone else help? Thanks. -- Арангел Ангов Слободен софтвер Македонија http://www.slobodensoftver.org.mk info(a)slobodensoftver.org.mk

I already sent two emails to i18n(a)redhat.com requesting a change of my current SSH key. Who do I have to email with the new key? I'd really like to fix the translations for FC4 on time. Thanks. -Arangel

semi-annual initscripts string OOPS
by Bill Nottingham 15 Apr '05

15 Apr '05

So, I forgot to regenerate the pot file for initscripts at the string freeze; I apologize fully. (It's not something that can be automated, unfortunately.) Looks like the changes from the previous release are ~16 new strings, and ~35 get fuzzied. Sorry about the inconvenience, Bill

14 Apr '05

There are finished translations in Fedora that we have reviewed. How can one submit such reviews? (One can not get a lock on a translation that is already "Finished".) roozbeh
