F9 Website Translation
by Ricky Zhou 27 Apr '08

27 Apr '08

Hey, just to mention this, the Fedora 9 website is ready for translation (we should have few or no string changes from this point). With the changed release date, we're hopefully in a good position to get everything to 100%, since most of the changes are things like 8 -> 9 (next time, we're going to try and set this in a variable instead). fedora-web (fedoraproject.org): http://translate.fedoraproject.org/module/fedora-web Thanks a lot, Ricky

26 Apr '08

Just a reminder for translators: ** RELEASE NOTES FOR F9 FINAL (GA) DUE -- 28-APRIL-2008, 2359 UTC! ** There were a couple changes last week, creating a few fuzzy and untranslated strings. Please take the time to visit the PO in the Docs::ReleaseNotes module, devel branch, in Transifex: https://translate.fedoraproject.org/module/docs-release-notes The following locales/teams that might especially want to check this page, since they are so close to 100% since the extra strings: de es sk fr fi zh_CN Please take a few minutes to check the status, and then use your normal workflow to finish out your translations if possible. Thanks for all your efforts, and thanks for making Fedora 9 such a great release! -- Paul W.

Malayalam rendering issues in Fedora 8.
by Manilal K M 25 Apr '08

25 Apr '08

Hello all, I have updated lohit-fonts-malayalam(Version 2.1.9) in Fedora 8, and it seems that still there are issues in rendering. However these issues are not noticed when using other unicode fonts. The Fedora community is on the brim of a brand new release and it would be really nice to see all the issues resolved. I have uploaded the screenshots here: http://libregeek.googlepages.com/lohit-meera-screenshot Basically the fonts looks ugly(see the items 5 and 4 in the image). There are also critical rendering errors(items 1, 2 and 3 in the image). Please compare it with the page rendered using Meera font. The system is installed with the latest pango(pango-1.18.4) and I am sure that the above issues are due to the bug in Lohit fonts, because the issues in pango are now completely fixed. I believe that the traditional fonts, which is very much familiar to the Malayalees makes more sense in computers. The typewriter fonts were developed in an effort to ease the typesetting in printing press and it may not be relevant in computers. If the bugs are not resolved within the timeframe, at least consider making the Meera fonts(it's already in Fedora 9 repo) mandatory for Malayalam Language support in F9 and remove lohit-fonts-malayalam as a prerequisite for applications such as Openoffice.org. I wish F9 would be the first GNU/Linux distribution with error-free Malayalam rendering and interface(80% translation of GNOME is completed) regards -- Manilal K M : മണിലാല്‍ കെ എം. http://libregeek.blogspot.com

Hi, I wanted to translate the strings for Telugu language but it looks like the group does not exist. So could someone create this group and grant me maintainer access or some access to commit the telugu strings. regards, Suresh (surikoya)

Fedora 9 GA release notes: new content add to PO files
by Murray McAllister 25 Apr '08

25 Apr '08

Hi, Since there was a slip, it was decided that new Wiki changes should be added to the PO files, for the opportunity of being translated for the Fedora 9 GA release notes (https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-docs-list/2008-April/msg00092.html) There have not been any major changes. The following is an overview of what has changed: ## Virtualization (Virtualization.xml) ## minor change: fully virtualized is two words, not one. ## Release Highlights (OverView.xml) ## minor change, took out a double-space (not sure if this affects translations :( ) ## Architecture Specific Notes (ArchSpecific.xml) ## very minor addition... ## Package Notes (PackageNotes.xml) ## - new sections added: * Sound Card Utility * pilot-link and HAL/PolicyKit Interaction ## Fedora Desktop (Desktop.xml) ## - minor content addition and corrections. ## File Systems (FileSystems.xml) ## - minor content addition and a "note" ## Java (Java.xml) ## very minor change ("open source" changed to "Free Software") ## System Services (SystemDaemons.xml) ## new content for NetworkManger ## Internationalization (I18n.xml) ## Language Support Installation - minor addition, "thai, and so on" - 23.2.2. Indic fonts, new bullet point, "The smc-fonts package has been added for Malayalam." - the QT immodules section has been removed --- The PO files are due at 2359 UTC, 2008-04-29. Thanks for all your help, apologies for any inconveniences this causes. Please do not hesitate to ask if you have any questions! Kind Regards, Murray. --------------------------------------------------------------------- pub 1024D/81B3FDEB 2007-09-19 [expires: 2008-09-18] Key fingerprint = 4ED9 9907 5BF0 4132 2B46 20D1 C0C6 362D 81B3 FDEB Murray McAllister (Fedora Docs Project / mdious) <murray.mcallister(a)gmail.com> sub 2048g/B04CFA0C 2007-09-19 [expires: 2008-09-18]

I think that unfinished translations are less of a risk than faulty information. Honestly, there are probably *not* a lot of changes, and the teams with 100% finished translations will not have a hard time processing a small number of changes. I think swift action probably makes more sense than worrying about the extra strings. Who will be responsible for putting these changes in? -- Paul W.
