[opensuse-translation] SVN Branches in suse-i18n
by Karl Eichwalder 30 Jun '08

30 Jun '08

We are in the process creating branches: https://forgesvn1.novell.com/svn/suse-i18n/branches/SLE10SP1 For SLE10 SP1 https://forgesvn1.novell.com/svn/suse-i18n/branches/openSUSE-10_2-Branch For openSUSE 10.2 Thus far, none of these branches is open for check-ins. If you want to fix anything 10.2 related, just use the trunk as during the last months. In case of serious ("critical") issues of which you want to see an online update, create a bugzilla entry as well. Most of the translation iusses are by definition not "critical", so do not be disappointed if we cannot release on official update. More information on the branches later. -- Karl Eichwalder R&D / Documentation SUSE Linux Products GmbH GPG: 1024D/06EB882E B2A3 AF2F CFC8 40B1 67EA 475A 5903 A21B 06EB 882E --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-translation+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-translation+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-translation] About shortcuts (yast)
by Karl Eichwalder 25 Apr '08

25 Apr '08

In some modules it is possible to reuse button texts within the help texts. The problem is to find a way to eliminate the shortcut denominators such as "&Ok" or "&Cancel" (note the ampersand). It is not that difficult with languages based on latin characters (French, Czech, Dutch, etc.). But for Asian and other script based languages we must work out special routines. Please, describe how you use shortcuts in your language; if you do it the English way, there is no need to send an e-mail, but if you use something such as follows (ja): #. Button label #: library/modules/Label.ycp:57 msgid "&No" msgstr "いいえ (&N)" tell me about it. -- Karl Eichwalder R&D / Documentation SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-translation+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-translation+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-translation] Tools to help the translation teams
by Vincent Untz 20 Mar '08

20 Mar '08

Hi, Let me first introduce myself, since I just subscribed to this list. I'm a GNOME hacker, and with my new job, I'll be working on openSUSE. Since I want my desktop in a perfect french, I'm quite interested in translation, although I don't have time to translate. I've looked a bit about how the localization project in openSUSE work. It looks like it's working well right now, but there are always things to improve, I guess :-) Here are some rough ideas about where we might go in GNOME, or maybe just in the GNOME french translation team (it has not been widely discussed yet, hence the "might"). I'd love to know if the openSUSE translation teams would be interested in going the same way. Right now, in GNOME, we have only Damned Lies: http://l10n.gnome.org/ It's basically where we can get statistics about each translation, by languages/modules/modulesets/etc. It also enables the translators to download the latest version of the po file to complete the translation. I guess it's a bit similar to the current statistics page on i18n.opensuse.org, although Damned Lies seems to do a bit more In the french translation team, we also have vertimus: https://code.launchpad.net/vertimus (upstream project) http://gnomefr.traduc.org/suivi/ (server used for GNOME french translation) It's a tool to let the team work in a more efficient way. Basically, it lets people reserve a module for translation. When it's translated, the translator uploads a po file which is then proofreads by someone else. If everything is fine, it gets marked as "ready for commit" and someone with commit powers commits it. It gets all the statistics about modules from Damned Lies. We're trying to have the tool a bit more generic so it can be used by other teams. Now, we're also interested in pootle and transifex: http://translate.sourceforge.net/wiki/pootle/index http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/Transifex https://hosted.fedoraproject.org/transifex Pootle allows translators to translate po files in a web application, with translation memory and other cool stuff. Transifex makes it easier to commit a file, using a web form. (this simplifies things since it doesn't require svn/cvs/git/blabla access for translators and they don't have to learn about vcs if they don't want too). Note that we've not integrated those two tools yet, but they look promising to us. Integrating Transifex shouldn't be too hard. Pootle is harder, though. Oh, and the goal would be to have those tools optional, so translators can still use svn if they don't like Transifex. On the openSUSE side, I have the feeling that we could make use of Transifex in the short term, and maybe vertimus too. And perhaps Pootle in the long term. I'd like to hear what you think of all this. I hope I didn't write too many stupid things ;-) Vincent -- Les gens heureux ne sont pas pressés. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-translation+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-translation+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-translation] Merging time of new strings
by Alberto Passalacqua 22 Feb '08

22 Feb '08

Hello, it would be useful to know when the new strings to be translated will be merged before we start to actually translate the current trunk. When is the first merging planned? Thanks in advance, Alberto -- Alberto Passalacqua E-mail. alberto.passalacqua(a)tin.it --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-translation+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-translation+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-translation] Italian translation team - Changes
by Alberto Passalacqua 22 Feb '08

22 Feb '08

Hello, I recently contacted the members of the Italian translation team who worked on 10.3 to check if they were available for 11.0. Only Ezio Tonetto (Murdock) confirmed his commitment, in addition to me. As a consequence: 1. Alessandro Ruoso and Leonardo Miliani won't be part of the openSUSE 11.0 translation team (I wrote to them twice in the last month fixing Feb. 20th 2008 as deadline, and I didn't receive any answer). 2. I would like to find one other translator for 11.0. Three translators should be enough, I think. If there is one volunteer, he/she's welcome! Any wiki translator willing? :-) If someone is interested, just contact me. I plan to start translations for 11.0 by the beginning of March. With kind regards, Alberto --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-translation+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-translation+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-translation] How can you translate man pages? What do you use?
by Carlos E. R. 05 Feb '08

05 Feb '08

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi! This somewhat off topic, but as it is the only international list with many translators that I'm subscribed to, here I go. O:-) What do you use to translate man pages? Is there a GUI somewhere? I certainly do not want to learn trof/roff whatever. I believe LyX can do it, but I can't get that part working. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
