Translator role approval problem
by Игорь Горбунов 26 Nov '20

26 Nov '20

Hi, All, a new translator (Alexander Felda, user name *afeld*) tries to become a translator for Russian group. He successfully performed all necessary steps as described in https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/L10N/Guide to join the group, but still cannot get access to translations. Now he is present in Fedora Translators Group (cvsl10n) member list as *afeld*, there is no sponsor, status is unapproved and role jusst a user. What can I do (as a group coordinator) to fix the problem? Best wishes, Igor Gorbounov, coordinator of Russian Group

About moving Chinese translations(zh_Hans/zh_Hant) of website to zh_CN and zh_TW languages in Weblate
by Tiansworld 17 Oct '20

17 Oct '20

Hello guys, The weblate platform performs very well after the migration. However we(zh_CN and zh_TW teams) are having some teeny issues with it. That is both of the Chinese translations of Feodra website project are now under zh_Hans[1] and zh_Hant[2] language codes in Weblate. Like the other projects, the website project should be moved back to zh_CN and zh_TW language codes respectively. The reason for doing this are: 1. I don't want the new contributors confused. They may start the website translation completely from zh_CN or zh_TW language. Since the new platform doesn't have a approve procedure, the team or the coordinator won't know any new contributor, so they don't have the chance to tell the new one to pay attention to this issue. 2. Weblate will be lighter, with 2 unused language codes removed, the maintenance work may become easier. I've opened an disscusion on pagure[3] too, I think website project is OK with this change. So I hope our weblate administrators could help us on this. Thanks.

Dear translators, latest Weblate's release [1] requires database migration, please expect a downtime of 2 to 4 hours. Migration should start Saturday 17th at 8:00 CEST (central europe standard time) https://translate.fedoraproject.org will be unavailable It should be back online at 12:00 CEST. Everything is done by Michal, the main weblate dev.

How can we seriously discuss this and arrive with realistic options? Next Flock? A dedicated event? Jean-Baptiste

Fedora 32 translation memories
by Jean-Baptiste Holcroft 13 Oct '20

13 Oct '20

TL;DR: here are the translation memories for the 318 languages, built from all software available in Fedora 32: https://jibecfed.fedorapeople.org/partage/compendium-full/ Last august, I talked about my project "to provide translation memories for translators and measure localization progress over version" [1]. Thanks to darknao's help with automation, I'm now able to analyze the whole Fedora Linux distribution. I would like to make it a Fedora initiative and publish these files in an official Fedora website. Would someone be willing to help? Constraints is to use Hugo to allow this website to be localized. For Fedora 32, it means: * 21 000 srpm extracted (source of rpm packages) * 121 000 po files detected (other formats exists, but I'm starting by this) which represents 7Gio of data From that, I deducted: * 318 languages. For each of them, it produce: ** a compendium [2] ** a terminology [3] ** a translation memory (tmx file) Please do not hesitate to suggest improvements in the generation of these files. I used very basic commands and did no cleaning. Next steps (by priority): * measure each language status for a Fedora release * display results in a static website for a Fedora release * allow to compare releases * all other ideas we may have -- Jean-Baptiste [1] https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/i18n@lists.fedoraproject.org/… [2] http://docs.translatehouse.org/projects/translate-toolkit/en/latest/command… [3] http://docs.translatehouse.org/projects/translate-toolkit/en/latest/command… [4] http://docs.translatehouse.org/projects/translate-toolkit/en/latest/command…
