[Fwd: String changes for pirut to add error messages]
by Jeremy Katz 10 Sep '07

10 Sep '07

Whoops, sending to the right list... Jeremy -------- Forwarded Message -------- From: Jeremy Katz <katzj(a)redhat.com> To: Fedora internationalization discussions <fedora-i18n-list(a)redhat.com> Cc: rel-eng <rel-eng(a)fedoraproject.org> Subject: String changes for pirut to add error messages Date: Wed, 29 Aug 2007 17:05:38 -0400 This is a request to break the string freeze for pirut to add some error messages when handling repo editing. Not doing so means we either need to a) rip out the capability b) not handle errors c) only give a generic "Error" type of thing rather than useful error messages d) don't mark the strings for translation and have them show up in English only None of which feel all that right to me. So sound reasonable? Jeremy

Need to break string freeze for system-config-samba bugfix
by Nils Philippsen 09 Sep '07

09 Sep '07

Hi there, I've already built the system-config-samba-1.2.48-1.fc8 package (didn't know that would violate policy). This contains a new dialog which warns about unknown Samba configuration options instead of throwing a traceback, see: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=247541 IMO, it would be better to keep the new string in without it being translated than throwing it out again.

Hello, Thanks everyone for helping me sort out this query. Thomas had sent in the following reply right after my mail acknowledging it as a typo (and he has fixed it already!). Somehow it did not make it into the mailing-list and is missing from the archives. Very wierd! I am forwarding this mail again for everyone.

Self-Introduction: Sveinn Svavarsson
by Sveinn Svavarsson 29 Aug '07

29 Aug '07

Hello I want to join in the translators team to improve the Icelandic translation of fedora and I am introducing my self now. My full legal name is Sveinn Svavarsson My fedora project username is sueno which is also my username on irc.freenode.net I live in Reykjavík which is the capital city of Iceland. I'm studying to become an electronic technician and I'm currently doing my practical education which means working and I'm working for Marel food systems I have been a fedora user for three years now and have noticed that the icelandic translation was incompleet and is getting constantly less complete probably because nobody is updating it. So I want to hop in and continue the work that has been started. I don't have much programming skills but I am eager to learn and I am not afraid of the command line so I hope I will be able to start doing some work soon. That is after I've gotten fluent with cvs and diff and those po files which I hope I will figure out soon. I considder myself good speaking Icelandic which is a special language in many ways. I noticed that there is no maintainer for Icelandic so I was wondering how do I become the maintainer? Here is my GPG information pub 1024D/C779573B 2007-08-09 Key fingerprint = 67F9 E215 49C9 D423 9B39 8FE0 E21F 344B C779 573B uid Sveinn Svavarsson (Snilld) <sueno(a)strik.is> sub 2048g/79EEBEEE 2007-08-09 Best regards Sveinn Svavarsson

New release-notes component
by Paul W. Frields 29 Aug '07

29 Aug '07

Over the next day or so I would like to add a new module, "readme-live," to our CVS, to be included in the fedora-release-notes collection. This file will be included on live spins so anyone who receives one will have some clues what to do with it. The document was generously drafted by Nelson Strother, by the way; I will do an editorial pass on it in CVS and do the necessary Makefile-cobbling to get it included. Followups, questions, and concerns to the fedora-docs-list are appreciated and happily addressed! :-) -- Paul W.

[Query] system-config-firewall/string # 60
by Runa Bhattacharjee 29 Aug '07

29 Aug '07

Hi, In system-config-firewall, I got stuck at the following string while translating: "Internet Protocol Security (IPsec) incorporates security for network transmissions into the Internet Protocol (IP) directly. IPsec provides methods for both encrypting data and authentication the host or network it sends to. If you plan to use a vpnc server or FreeS/WAN, do not diable this option." Can someone please clarify the line: "IPsec provides methods for both encrypting data and authentication the host or network it sends to. " I am not sure if this is a typo or if I am missing some information here. :( It is string number 60, if you open the file in KBabel. Thanks a lot cheers Runa

Questions about specspo/desc
by Adrien BUSTANY 29 Aug '07

29 Aug '07

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I'm currently translating specspo/desc, and was wondering why every msgid (and as a result every msgstr) does begin with a blank line... BTW, why does the translator have to deal with all those \n ? Shouldn't word wrapping be the job of the application ? This remark apply to other files as well.

Αύγ 28 20:02:24 * glezos has changed the topic to: The Fedora Localization Project - Meeting -- http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/L10N/Meetings#agenda Αύγ 28 20:02:29 glezos hey all Αύγ 28 20:02:32 glezos who's here? Αύγ 28 20:02:55 beecher Hey, RichardBukovansky (Czech Translation team) Αύγ 28 20:03:20 fed Hi MagnusLarsson (Swedish translation team) Αύγ 28 20:03:23 vpv VillePekkaVainio, fi Αύγ 28 20:04:39 glezos okey Αύγ 28 20:05:16 glezos I don't see the meeting log posted on the page Αύγ 28 20:05:20 glezos (the past meeting log) Αύγ 28 20:05:40 glezos Here's the summary: http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-trans-list/2007-August/msg00082.html Αύγ 28 20:06:02 glezos Most of the TODO were done Αύγ 28 20:06:11 * rdieter_away is now known as rdieter Αύγ 28 20:06:18 glezos I finished today all the checks I wanted to do on transifex Αύγ 28 20:06:40 glezos and we'll probably ready to add the fedora repos Αύγ 28 20:06:45 glezos I'll work on it today and tomorrow Αύγ 28 20:07:10 beecher ? Αύγ 28 20:07:12 glezos Hopefully by tomorrow we'll have it working with the normal FAS -- we'll discuss this with Infra Αύγ 28 20:07:27 glezos beecher, go ahead Αύγ 28 20:07:46 beecher Greenhorn question: What's the Transifex, please? Αύγ 28 20:08:23 beecher Link would be enough. eof Αύγ 28 20:08:25 glezos beecher, sorry -- transifex is a system we are developing for allowing translators to submit translations to any version control system we are using Αύγ 28 20:08:46 glezos Here's the project's description: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SummerOfCode/2007/DimitrisGlezos Αύγ 28 20:08:57 glezos And the project's homepage, code, etc: https://hosted.fedoraproject.org/projects/transifex/ Αύγ 28 20:09:03 beecher OK. Thanks. Αύγ 28 20:09:57 glezos That's it from me Αύγ 28 20:10:05 glezos we are in good shape Αύγ 28 20:10:24 glezos I'd like some help today and tomorrow for testing, so anyone who'd like to help, #fedora-l10n Αύγ 28 20:10:50 glezos any thoughts? Αύγ 28 20:11:17 beecher I will... Αύγ 28 20:13:52 glezos ok Αύγ 28 20:13:57 glezos anything else anyone would like to discuss? Αύγ 28 20:13:59 fed glezos: good work of you, but is this really the way to go? Having so many different VCS will probably lead to trouble.. Αύγ 28 20:14:32 glezos fed, well, obviously we'd prefer if we translated stuff that are on cvs Αύγ 28 20:14:34 fed I've been out of Fedora for a while so Im sorry if this has been clarified already Αύγ 28 20:14:41 glezos on one VCS anyway) Αύγ 28 20:14:42 * scsibear (i=bkonrath@nat/redhat-ca/x-4b11ac9a02d42224) has joined #fedora-meeting Αύγ 28 20:15:05 glezos but there *are* stuff that are not hosted on cvs.fedoraproject.org which want translations Αύγ 28 20:15:19 glezos so the first step is to give translators the ability to send something there Αύγ 28 20:15:55 glezos if we see that it works, then I guess developers will have less thoughts in using any VCS they'd like Αύγ 28 20:16:20 fed we can have this discussion last. Lets do whatever was on the agenda first.... Αύγ 28 20:16:42 glezos fed, I think we're done with the agenda -- I don't see any reason to do a live demo now Αύγ 28 20:16:55 fed hehe.. wow that was quick. Αύγ 28 20:17:15 * jrb has quit (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out)) Αύγ 28 20:17:25 glezos fed, yeah, not many issues to discuss this week Αύγ 28 20:17:30 beecher ? Αύγ 28 20:17:39 fed ok. speaking of demo, can you please do some screenshots and put on the web site for transifex... Αύγ 28 20:18:06 glezos fed, hang around #fedora-l10n, we are talking about it often Αύγ 28 20:18:13 glezos beecher, feel free to speak anytime you want :) Αύγ 28 20:19:07 fed and then back to the VCS stuff... Why do we have to adjust to other people's use of VCS? If they pick something out of the ordinary they should adapt to the rest rather than the opposite Αύγ 28 20:19:12 beecher Following meeting protocol... :) Anyway, which repos are going to be included in Transifex? Only Fedora related or others (like GNOME) also? Αύγ 28 20:20:52 glezos fed, well, since the developer is the one who's doing most of the complex stuff regarding the VCS, it's better if we let them decide the VCS they want Αύγ 28 20:21:23 glezos fed, translators usually just do a checkout & commit, once in a while. Developers interact with the VCSs much more Αύγ 28 20:21:32 fed glezos: thats fine but why do they have to pick 5 different ones? You want to use all? Αύγ 28 20:21:47 fed all outside Fedora as well? Αύγ 28 20:21:56 walters fed: the vcs scene is slowly converging Αύγ 28 20:21:58 glezos I think that making developers stick to one VCS (especially a centralized one like CVS/SVN) then this impedes development Αύγ 28 20:22:09 * bpepple|lt has quit ("Ex-Chat") Αύγ 28 20:22:34 jeremy walters: california may fall off of north america before the vcs scene converges :-) Αύγ 28 20:23:04 jeremy fed: for the same reasons that people prefer different editors or different desktops or ... Αύγ 28 20:23:07 * svahl (n=svahl(a)dslb-088-070-024-197.pools.arcor-ip.net) has left #fedora-meeting ("Ex-Chat") Αύγ 28 20:23:10 jeremy fed: each has its good and its bad points Αύγ 28 20:23:12 fed all: ok. nuff said about that... Thanks for the info all. Αύγ 28 20:23:23 walters jeremy: converging to 4 instead of like 10, anyways Αύγ 28 20:23:34 walters jeremy: i don't mean to 1 =) Αύγ 28 20:23:49 fed glezos: Why no live demo today? Αύγ 28 20:24:04 * scsibear (i=bkonrath@nat/redhat-ca/x-4b11ac9a02d42224) has left #fedora-meeting ("Leaving") Αύγ 28 20:24:41 glezos fed, we could have one if you guys would like Αύγ 28 20:24:54 glezos We have a testing environment. For more info: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SummerOfCode/2007/DimitrisGlezos/Notes#testing Αύγ 28 20:25:38 glezos Here it is: http://publictest5.fedora.redhat.com/submit/ Αύγ 28 20:26:15 glezos instead of getting all to create accounts, let me grab a couple of screenshots Αύγ 28 20:27:06 fed glezos: there is nothing commited? I have to login to see? Αύγ 28 20:27:44 * CyberSpy has quit (Remote closed the connection) Αύγ 28 20:28:12 glezos fed, it's a testing environment, we clear the data often. You need to be a translator to submit translations. Αύγ 28 20:28:34 fed I just want to see it... not submit... (not yet at least) Αύγ 28 20:30:27 glezos fed, 1 min Αύγ 28 20:30:54 fed glezos: it's ok. you can do later... Unless we are finished with meeting Αύγ 28 20:31:11 beecher BTW I have registred on Testing-FAS right now and I'm getting some Python errors when editing my account... Αύγ 28 20:31:26 * Rasther (n=diego@fedora/Rasther) has joined #fedora-meeting Αύγ 28 20:31:49 * CyberSpy (n=cyberspy(a)cpe-065-191-191-010.nc.res.rr.com) has joined #fedora-meeting Αύγ 28 20:32:19 glezos ok, we can have this in #fedora-l10n Αύγ 28 20:32:38 beecher +1 Αύγ 28 20:32:58 glezos any other topic for the meeting? Αύγ 28 20:33:23 glezos fed, were your questions answered? Αύγ 28 20:34:23 beecher My Q wasn't... But I will move it to fedora-l10n... ;) Αύγ 28 20:34:44 glezos beecher, oh sorry Αύγ 28 20:34:46 fed glezos: i think so... i need to see transifex first... maybe it will amaze me. later discussion. Αύγ 28 20:35:10 glezos beecher, we'll start with some fedora repositories/modules and play around with them Αύγ 28 20:35:35 glezos then if we see that everything is ok, we'll add the i18n.redhat.com CVS which still hosts some translatable modules Αύγ 28 20:36:02 glezos then we could add some related to Fedora modules like yumex, yum, OLPC Αύγ 28 20:36:09 beecher OK. Thanks. Αύγ 28 20:36:20 fed glezos: another question. If I want to do some translation right now, what are my options? Using the different VCS for the different modules manually? Αύγ 28 20:36:44 glezos it's more tricky to use it with projects which have existing translation communities because we need to think how to integrate transifex with their translation workflow Αύγ 28 20:37:38 fed glezos: to clarify: if I want to do what I did 6 months regarding Fedora translations, what do I do now? Αύγ 28 20:37:47 glezos fed, most of our projects (18/20) are hosted as before: some on i18n.redhat.com and some on cvs.fedoraproject.org. So you'll just need to create two accounts for them, like always Αύγ 28 20:38:00 * kital (n=Joerg_Si@fedora/kital) has joined #fedora-meeting Αύγ 28 20:38:28 glezos fed, very few modules have moved away from our traditional CVS servers. Αύγ 28 20:39:16 glezos for those few modules, until transifex is in place, you'll need to send the PO files to the maintainer manually (or ask him to add you to the users having write access) Αύγ 28 20:39:20 * rdieter has quit (Remote closed the connection) Αύγ 28 20:39:33 fed glezos: So if I just use the CVS as before, I am safe (except for 2 modules)? Will it also show in your nice web pages you created to show status? Αύγ 28 20:39:57 glezos fed, yes (for both Qs) Αύγ 28 20:40:33 fed glezos: ok. thanks. That was a bit confusing at first. Αύγ 28 20:40:37 * knurd is now known as knurd_afk Αύγ 28 20:41:06 glezos fed, I'll create a wiki page explaining some of these things. Thanks for pointing them out. Αύγ 28 20:41:18 * glezos has changed the topic to: The Fedora Localization Project - Meeting -- Open floor Αύγ 28 20:41:46 * glezos is a bit tired and dizzy, sorry if I sound incoherent and stuff Αύγ 28 20:42:31 * stickster_work is now known as stickster Αύγ 28 20:43:03 fed glezos: it would be good just to know what has changed and what we have to do change with it. Basically, it similar to before except 2 modules needs to sent manually to maintainer. Glezos working on a common interface to all VCS. Αύγ 28 20:43:45 glezos fed, agreed Αύγ 28 20:46:23 glezos if there's nothing else, I'd suggest to close it and get back to work. :) Αύγ 28 20:46:40 beecher +1 Αύγ 28 20:47:11 fed +1/2. I still want a demo, but we can take it in l10n instead. Αύγ 28 20:47:39 glezos fed, http://publictest5.fedora.redhat.com/submit/ -- login with guest/guest Αύγ 28 20:47:51 glezos I've enabled it just for now Αύγ 28 20:48:04 vpv we should close it here, thanks, especially to glezos :) Αύγ 28 20:48:10 glezos vpv, thanks Αύγ 28 20:48:34 glezos closing in 30 Αύγ 28 20:48:41 fed thanks... im logged in Αύγ 28 20:48:57 glezos </meeting> -- Dimitris Glezos Jabber ID: glezos(a)jabber.org, GPG: 0xA5A04C3B http://dimitris.glezos.com/ "He who gives up functionality for ease of use loses both and deserves neither."
