Easily grabbing all POs for one language
by Dimitris Glezos 18 Feb '08

18 Feb '08

One feature that is really useful for a translator is to be able to download all the PO files for their language easily. We've been receiving this request for *years* now, and rightly so! Here's why: On elvis, I estimate all language's POs totalled about 500MB. To download them, one needed 2 hours on an ADSL, or 20 hours on PSTN. A langpack of PO files for a single language weighted at about 10MB. That's 3 minutes on ADSL or just 25 minutes on PSTN. Now think of giving the chance to the translator to download the langpack zipped. It could go down to 2MB -- that's 30 seconds on ADSL, 4 minutes on PSTN. Unless I'm mistaken in some calculations, does the above mean we could allow our translators on PSTN lines to get the files they need to contribute by waiting 4 minutes instead of 20 hours? Here's a handy single command that gets you all F9 language files (msgmerged) for a particular language from translate.fedoraproject.org. I've already added it to our FAQ page. export MYLANG=el wget -nv -r -N -l 1 --accept *$MYLANG.po -nd -nH -P pofiles http://translate.fedoraproject.org/languages/$MYLANG/fedora-9 My dream is to have the tools to do all the dirty work for us, and save us time for enjoying life instead. So, I'd like to add support to Transifex to serve PO files, ready to be translated, from the command line. Something like this: tx list-modules (see what modules we serve) tx get <anaconda> (get all anaconda files) tx get <anaconda> --lang=<el> (get iclandic anaconda PO) tx get --lang=<is> --gz (get all iclandic files, zipped) tx get --tag=<fedora-websites> (get only files related to Fedora websites) ...translate... tx login tx submit anaconda po/is.po Until we have such a dream tool to our disposal, we'll have to settle with the wget-style command. So after a lot of jabber, here's the rub. We could have the above wget command run daily on our servers, and produce a langpack for each language in .tar.gz with all its PO files, for easily download. Is this something we want to spend some time on, or are we OK with running the wget command for now? -d -- 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."

Hi All, I have started working for Maithili language since few months back and reached upto the stage where I can maintain the language and be the co-ordinator for it. Anyone interested in translating Fedora for Maithili please do get in touch with me directy or sending an e-mail to the list (fedora-trans-list). It would be of great help and contribution to the Maithili language. Thanks ! -- Regards, Rajesh Ranjan http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/RajeshRanjan

Git statistics for non-default branches work again
by Dimitris Glezos 17 Feb '08

17 Feb '08

Quick note: We fixed a bug found in the git support of the statistics interface, where statistics for branches other than the 'master' one didn't show up. Check out them apples! :-) http://translate.fedoraproject.org/module/anaconda -d PS: git gets on my nerves. -- 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."

Upcoming elvis move -- preparations
by Dimitris Glezos 16 Feb '08

16 Feb '08

Hi all, a quick reminder that on Monday we have the elvis move. I've prepared a mass email to the people with an elvis translation account to inform them for the move, and suggest to create Fedora accounts. The email will be sent (hopefully) tomorrow, to give our contributors a window of 3 days to create a Fedora account. A couple of things for consideration: 1. We'll use the updated Translation Quick Start Guide for instructions to join the Fedora L10n Project. All teams that would like their contributors to migrate smoothly, might want to make sure their TQSG translations are up2date: http://translate.fedoraproject.org/module/docs-translation-quick-start-guide 2. We'll need some help over on IRC, to make sure any users having questions will find the help they need for information about the project, and SSH key and account creations. 3. We'll get a bunch of new users on our FAS group and mailing list. To people who have 'sponsor' access on cvsl10n: please keep an eye on upcoming requests, check out if the user is indeed a user of ours, and grant her access as quickly as possible. Anyone willing to help out in this process, just send me an email. 4. Let's make sure all new contributors feel welcome! Our more distributed environment is definitely more complex than the older one, but it's the right thing (tm) to do. The TQSG and /wiki/L10N/FAQ are our best docs right now, feel free to add any Q that comes up in the FAQ and then point the user there, so that we have it ready for the next time. That's it for now! Now, if only I had a way to send an email to ~2300 people without choking any SMTP servers.. -d -- 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."
