Proposal: Fedora G11N Steering Committee
by Pravin Satpute 26 Jun '20

26 Jun '20

Hi All, I am sure, most of the people working with Fedora I18N, L10N from 5-6 year must be aware regarding Fedora L10N Steering Committee. [1] As far as i know this committee was active around 2009 and very effective. During Fedora G11N activity day discussions, we again felt there is need for some kind of official committee to drive Fedora Globalization activities. Fedora is growing faster with number of different domains and G11N also need to adapt those changes quickly to remain on the track. For this purpose and in line with [1], we were thinking of Fedora Globalization steering committee. I have created initial proposal for it. [2] Its open for feedback, please feel free to share other active members, discuss in your respective language groups. This is just initial proposal and i am sure, we can improve and make it more effective with active participation. Regards, Pravin Satpute 1. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/L10N_Steering_Committee?rd=L10N/SteeringComm… 2. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_G11N_Steering_Committee_Proposal _______________________________________________ g11n mailing list g11n(a)lists.fedoraproject.org http://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/g11n@lists.fedoraproject.org

Hi everyone, My name is Takuro Nagamoto. I am a Japanese translator at Red Hat, based in Brisbane, Australia. I just wanted to let you know that I took over a coordinator role for Fedora Japanese translation from Noriko, who left Red Hat in January (greatly missed). Hope to contribute to the Fedora Japanese translation team as a coordinator/translator/reviewer (I already have those privileges granted on zanata). Regards, Takuro Nagamoto

Introduction
by Brenda Jarolímková 07 May '17

07 May '17

Hi all, I am Brenda, originally from Switzerland, but currently located in Czech Republic and I am here at home for more than 10 years already. My native is German (or Swiss German), but I am very fluent in Czech, English and French. From a work-related aspect I do translations from DE, FR to EN and vice versa. My first encounter with Linux was with the distro Linux Mint when I went to Middle School, and since then I am linuxing my way through the computer world. What led me to wanting to contribute with translations? I've encountered way too often command outputs, documentation and more that were not really German (or any non-English language), but rather a mix of English and German, or they were not translated at all. So I hope I may be of help! Regards, nanuklein

Zanata extracts - translation sprint report
by Jean-Baptiste 03 May '17

03 May '17

Hi Alex, following our translation sprint, can you please provide a few stats about strings and word per contributor and language from April 1st to April 18th? can you also provide: * the number of new contributors per day? I had a few new members in french team, I assume it can be relevant for the whole platform * the list of all contributors per team in order to check if consistent with cvsl10n, so we give contributors full access to Fedora infrastructure as attachments are forbidden on mailing list, can you host them on Fedora wiki, fedora people or whatever place you'll find convenient? thanks a lot for your help, we'll use these extracts to write down a public report -- Jean-Baptiste Holcroft

DNF translation
by Zdenek Chmelar 29 Apr '17

29 Apr '17

Hello all The DNF project has one sentence which I'm not able to reasonably translate. I think I do not understand the sentence meaning properly. I have checked French and German translations in order to understand the meaning better but those languages didn't translate that sentence yet. So what's the magic sentence I speak about? "no matching payload factory for %s" (message with number #547) If anyone could explain what means "payload factory" in relation to DNF, I would be very thankful ;-) Thanks Z.

Request to sync Ukrainian libvirt translation stats
by Yuri Chornoivan 24 Apr '17

24 Apr '17

Hi, Zanata stats on libvirt translation is out of sync again: https://fedora.zanata.org/iteration/view/libvirt/master/languages/uk?dswid=… it is "96.45%" in the middle column but it should be "100%" (see the right column). Technically, I did nothing wrong (is it so?), just uploaded the offline translation to Zanata. Can someone help with stats syncing again or better fix Zanata the right way to recalculate group stats after uploads? Many thanks in advance for your help. Best regards, Yuri

My thoughts on recent event
by Alex Eng 23 Apr '17

23 Apr '17

Guys, I know this email will somehow backfire on me or brings out more harsh discussion but I was disappointed and upset by this issue for few days now and just want to put it out there. Recently I have sent out a survey request for Zanata platform in this mailing list, asking for translators' feedback for improvement and understand our users. But it was knocked back for various reasons. I admit there are few points that were pointed out are valid and should be corrected, eg. Mandatory of email, and use of Google. However, I was troubled by the rather harsh critics and unexpected response. And yes, I do take it personally. The comments below are all my opinion personally. 1) I never force anyone to partake the survey, if anyone is uncomfortable doing it, then don't do it. 2) One of the reason I was told is that the survey is only for the benefit of Zanata, not Fedora. That to me is a very selfish mindset and I strongly disagree with that. Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think that's how Fedora community works. 3) Another reason was I need to "discuss it first" before doing it. For a survey? Although I understand the benefit of letting the group know beforehand, but is it not the same as sending out the survey and just don't do it if you're not comfortable? 4) I was told to " respect mailing lists guidelines". Isn't mailing list main purpose it for communication? And I do think it is the right platform to use to communicate with all translators in Fedora, unless there are some other ways. Until now, I am still not sure what wrong I did in the email. Maybe I'm violating the guideline in this email too :) Having to work with various large communities, I understand different people have different opinion and I do respect that. Also I like to think myself as a reasonable person which often takes critics as an opportunity to improve myself, or on any project. Often I do try my best to provide explanation and solution to any issue. But getting complaint just to send out a survey with the impression of no respect at all is a whole new level for me. I believe community work is only success by working together and be able to provide constructive feedback to each other for improvement. This to me will not help with the situation and only will move things backwards. My main goal in the Fedora community is to improve and help the project with whatever I can. If I am doing things not in the right way, please do let me know and I am more than happy to be corrected. Regards, -- Alex Eng
