[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] Translation of update-desktop-files.es.po (lcn)
by Carlos E. R. 11 Dec '07

11 Dec '07

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi! This file is complicated to translate. It is large, over 6000 messages. It uses the new format with "msgctxt" strings, which makes it unmanageable for poedit, because this program simply deletes them all, destroying the file, in fact. I would like to request developers to split it up in smaller files, too - at least till we get kaider running one of these years. Any chance? O:-) Then, I have doubts. Too many. I'll pick one or two at random: #: /opt/kde3/share/applications/kde/kaudiocreator.desktop msgctxt "Name(kaudiocreator.desktop)" msgid "KAudioCreator" msgstr "KAudioCreator" #: /opt/kde3/share/applications/kde/kbabel.desktop #: /usr/share/applications/kde4/kbabel.desktop msgctxt "Name(kbabel.desktop)" msgid "KBabel" msgstr "KBabel" It appears those entries are program names. Can we translate them? Should we? Is it just a name, or is it used as a token elsewhere, and thus translation can have consequences? Or do we write a description? For instance, I feel I could translate like "programname (descriptive translation)" so that the translated name has a meaning for the non english speaking user. For instance, a previous translator (not in our group did) did this: #: /opt/kde3/share/applnk/System/ScreenSavers/helix.desktop msgctxt "Name(helix.desktop)" msgid "Helix" msgstr "Hélice" Where "Hélice" is screw like in a boat or airplane, or in maths or geometry. Obviously this is incorrect, Helix is a program o library. Or is it? Do I restore it to "helix"? But if I put back the english word, why then is the string in the .po file at all? Obviously, my predecesor (years ago?) had similar doubts to mine and little time or nobody to ask. You see the dilemma? Sometimes the .po file needs some help or context info from the developers, what's their intention for those messages... This is more dificult for us amateur translators than for profesionals. More doubts... #: /opt/kde3/share/apps/carddecks/cards-hard-a-port/index.desktop #: /usr/share/kde4/apps/carddecks/cards-hard-a-port/index.desktop msgctxt "Name(index.desktop)" msgid "Hard a Port" msgstr "Todo a babor" In this context, is it the nautical expression "hard a port" or is it something else I don't know? #: /usr/share/applications/banshee.desktop # Cer: dudoso msgctxt "Name(banshee.desktop)" msgid "Helix Banshee" msgstr "Reproductor de música Helix Banshee" Same thing, is it a program name that should not be translated (then why is it there?) or should I translate the meaning or put a description, or what? - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

[opensuse-translation] Translator credits in RELEASE-NOTES
by Carlos E. R. 30 Nov '07

Put one translator per line, in the form of NAME <EMAIL>, YEAR1, YEAR2. #: RELEASE-NOTES.xml:0(None) msgid "translator-credits" msgstr "" Now, this "credits", is it for the entire translation team of a language, or is it for the translators of the single file RELEASE-NOTES?

[opensuse-translation] Translation Update for SLE10 SP1 and Forthcoming openSUSE 10.3
by Karl Eichwalder 23 Nov '07

23 Nov '07

We (Novell Globalization Services [Dublin]) are working on translation updates and several new translations for SLE10 SP1. We will submit these translations to the SLE10SP1 branch of the forge repository at https://forgesvn1.novell.com/svn/suse-i18n . For SP1, we cannot accept additional translations done but community members. So I'd like to ask you not to touch the SLE10SP1. When the SP1 translations are done, we want to promote them to the trunk of the SVN and thus they will become available for openSUSE 10.3. This will be a strong push for languages such as Arabian, Catalan, some Indian and South African languages. This also mean that you should save your time now to avoid work duplication. You don't want to translate files such as zypper, rug, or zmd twice. Thus far it is undecided, whether we should just add the new translations the trunk or whether we also want to override existing translations with those done in the SLE10SP1 branch. Here is the preliminary SLE10SP1 language list: de German en_?? English es Spanish fr French it Italian ja Japanese pt_BR Portuguese (Brazil) zh_CN Chinese (Simplified) zh_TW Chinese (Traditional) cs Czech da Danish fi Finnish hu Hungarian nb Norwegian nl Dutch pl Polish ru Russian sv Swedish af Afrikaans ar Arabic bn Bengali ca Catalan gu Gujarati hi Hindi mr Marathi ta Tamil xh Xhosa zu Zulu -- 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] 10.3 RELEASE-NOTES update
by Karl Eichwalder 21 Nov '07

21 Nov '07

A release notes update is in the pipe, mostly because we acquired a new snippet about DB and openLDAP interaction (https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=334639) and I also fixed a small wording issue (https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=334292) If you want to update the translations, make use of the openSUSE 10.3 branch: https://forgesvn1.novell.com/svn/suse-i18n/branches/openSUSE-10_3-Branch/lcn I'd like to publish the update on Friday in the evening (2007-11-23 16:00 CET). -- 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

Fwd: [opensuse-translation] What is "boot slot"?
by Stephan Kulow 19 Nov '07

19 Nov '07

Hi! This is the explanation of the main ppc developer Greetings, Stephan ---------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht ---------- > The person translating bootloader.es.po (yast) has dificulties translating > this one: > > #: src/ppc/helps.ycp:44 > #, fuzzy > msgid "Write to Boot Slot" > msgstr "Escribir en ranura de arranque" > > > Nobody in the group knows about the ppc arch. What is a "boot slot"? This means a "kernel slot", were the boot binary is written to the OS/400 side. It is a file in /proc (/proc/iSeries/mf/{A,B,C}/vmlinux) Maybe the help text should be changed to 'Write to iSeries kernel slot'. -- SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-translation+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-translation+help(a)opensuse.org
