All the pointless work
by Lauri Nurmi 21 Aug '07

21 Aug '07

Hello, A few months ago the missing translations of system-config-network were discussed on this mailing list, e.g. in <https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-trans-list/2007-June/msg00011.html>. I have submitted a bug report requesting a translation update for Finnish <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=234705> before the release of F7, and after the release another one <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=246469> about a wider set of languages. The situation still remains the same. Over 20 translations are not up-to-date in the released package, and at least three languages (bs, ro, te) are completely missing from the package although they have had 100% translations committed to the translation CVS well before the release of F7. Nobody seems to care about about the bug reports mentioned above. Nothing happens. Dozens of translators have spent their free time on these translations, which are then not used at all. At this pace I don't really expect to see these getting updated in F8 either. When Bugzilla is not enough, what to do next? Since most teams have limited number of people and limited time, it would be best to focus on those translations which actually do get packaged for distribution. Maybe such packages could be listed on the wiki. Regards, -LN

Transfix : extended web-based translate application
by Marek Mahut 20 Aug '07

20 Aug '07

Hello all, I've some ideas how to extend Dimitris' cool tool transfix. The idea is similar to translation system of jamendo.com which we have actually: Every user with CLA signed can translate a string, but only "trusted" people can approve it afterwards which will result in commit to cvs/git/whatever upstream work flow. Those translation are via web interface (something like Ubuntu's proprietary roseta), when user begin to translate the system checkout the PO from the upstream and this local copy is modify directly via web interface (does someone from the list know if Python has some extension which can handle work with PO files?) after the translation/update of the local PO file, user submit the translation to review to maintainer which if approve will result in commit to the upstream cvs system. Thoughts? -- Marek Mahut http://www.fedoraproject.org/ Fedora Project http://www.jamendo.com/

String Freeze Policy now official
by Dimitris Glezos 20 Aug '07

20 Aug '07

RelEng had a meeting today and the String Freeze Policy we prepared is now an official policy: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/ReleaseEngineering/StringFreezePolicy I'll send an announcement to -devel-announce to let people know. The above policy helps us in ensuring that translators can start working from the freeze date (28 August 2007) without worrying that any strings will be changed. Any developer wanting to break it should get the approval of our group. If anyone notices any POT file changing after the date, please send an email to the list to let everyone know.

Anaconda version mismatch between cvs and t.fp.o
by Xavi Conde 19 Aug '07

19 Aug '07

Hi all, Today I've checked out ca.po from anaconda, and I've noted that the version showed on http://translate.fedoraproject.org/POT/anaconda.HEAD/anaconda.HEAD.ca.po is older than the one on CVS. Also, http://translate.fedoraproject.org/module/anaconda has the following error message: Notices * error Errors while running 'intltool-update -m' check. * error Can't generate POT file, using old one. I understand that CVS has the most up-to-date version. I'm right? -- Google talk/Jabber: xavi.conde a gmail.com

Module Movements in the repositories
by Runa Bhattacharjee 17 Aug '07

17 Aug '07

Hi, Since quite a few modules are being moved by their maintainers to new repositories, it is perhaps a good idea for the Translators to be informed as well. Right now the repository list can be determined from: http://translate.fedoraproject.org/module/ I would like to propose the following: @ Request the maintainers to send in a notification mail to the main devel-announcement list @ The above mail can be cc-ed or forwarded to the fedora-trans list for notifying the translators @ A page linked from the Fedora Translation Project wiki page, listing all the available repositories and their respective account information. Please add on your thoughts. Thanks a lot regards Runa
