[opensuse-translation] package descriptions translaton
by Nick Shaforostoff 21 Oct '08

21 Oct '08

hi. debian doesn't want to install properly on my aspire one, but opensuse do, so i guess i'm switching. Debian has a web-interface for package description translation: http://ddtp.debian.net/ http://ddtp.debian.net/ddtss/index.cgi/xx I wonder if opensuse has something similar. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-translation+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-translation+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-translation] Adding Georgian language
by George Machitidze 26 Sep '08

26 Sep '08

Hello, I want to start working and introduce new language for opensuse users and make this distro more interesting and user friendly for georgians, so please add me to the localization project as team coordinator. Previously I was working on many projects like Gnome, Mozilla, Openoffice and actively on the KDE and Fedora as project coordinator and team lead and I am very familiar with all process including development and QA and with all translators from other distro projects also. I want to join you now, because from now I have a lot of time for it after two-year delay and I can start active development next week, I hope we will have new language for next release :) My preferences: Novell Login: GioMac Email: giomac(a)gmail.com Name: George Surname: Machitidze Localized Name: გიორგი Localized Surname: მაჩიტიძე Localization Language and Code: Georgian, ka, ka_GE Preferrable Languages order: Georgian, English, Russian, German Please send me recommendation for next step, for now main issue is tu have Georgian language in the list of language selection, because many programs are already available in this language and I want to make it available for users as soon as possible without manually changing any values in /etc/sysconfig/language file. Thank you and have a nice day :) -- Best Regards, George Machitidze

[opensuse-translation] irc meeting - some comments
by ¡ElCheVive! 04 Sep '08

04 Sep '08

Hi Zonker and all! During our first meeting (marketing team) I said that the information for translator are spread over the openSUSE wiki, we don't have a central point, ok we have the Teams page, but we have one page for the distro translation (i18n.opensuse.org) another for the wiki translation (http://en.opensuse.org/Translation_Team) and a third one for documentation (http://en.opensuse.org/Documentation_Team) been the last one is with less translations, just english and deutch. And if I or we want to translate the manuals we have to have a medium knowledge to get the sources, extract it, convert the .xml to .pot files or edit the xml itself, translate it and repacking again or create an OBS account to do that (and learn how to use it)... And another thing that I can't found for translation are the man pages for openSUSE especific programs like zypper, yast, locks, and so one...

[opensuse-translation] Reminder: Making use of SLE10 SP2 translations
by Karl Eichwalder 19 Aug '08

19 Aug '08

I'd like to remind you that Novell Globalization Services improved and translated many files for SLE10 SP2, and, of course, you are allowed to use these files and translations for updating the files in trunk. This could also be useful because some pieces from SLE10 SP2 will probably now surface in the trunk for openSUSE 11.1. Find all this in https://forgesvn1.novell.com/svn/suse-i18n/branches/SLE10SP2 . -- 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] Establishing a Software Proofreading Team
by Karl Eichwalder 07 Aug '08

07 Aug '08

In addition to the well established translations teams, we'd also like to build a software proofreading team. If you are an (American) English native speaker or someone with deep knowledge in English and you want to improve the software strings of YaST and other tools, join the proofreading team! We will grant you SVN commit rights. The first one who applies will become the team coordinator. So, send me your Novell account name (Bugzilla login) and access your wiki user page at http://developer.novell.com/wiki/index.php/User:<NAME> Replace "<NAME>" with your actual user name. Before starting proofing, you must read the "Style Guide for SUSE Program Texts" (http://forgeftp.novell.com/yast/doc/SL11.0/styleguide/index.html) and proof according to these guidelines. The proofing process works as follows: . Find the files to be proofed in the 50-proof directory (https://forgesvn1.novell.com/svn/suse-i18n/trunk/yast/50-proof) Those are POT files, so you can use known POT or PO files editors such as kbabel, Emacs/po-mode, or poedit. Note, we probably will update the POT files later this week again. . If possible, check file by file completely. Initially, all message strings are empty and marked as fuzzy: #: disk/src/disk.ycp:50 #, fuzzy msgid "Please wait, while volumes are being detected." msgstr "" If you want a approve a message, just remove the fuzzy marker and keep the msgstr field empty. #: disk/src/disk.ycp:50 msgid "Please wait, while volumes are being detected." msgstr "" If you want to supply a correction, enter a "translation" and remove the fuzzy marker: #: disk/src/disk.ycp:50 msgid "Please wait, while volumes are being detected." msgstr "Wait, while volumes are being detected." In case of doubt, keep the fuzzy for the moment, thus another team members can find and check it: #: disk/src/disk.ycp:50 #, fuzzy msgid "Please wait, while volumes are being detected." msgstr "Wait, while volumes are being detected." . Once the proofreading round is finished, the software developers will carryover your corrections into the source code and we will store all approved or improved strings in our string database. -- 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] Goodbye but don't worry
by Ladislav Michnovič 06 Aug '08

06 Aug '08

Hello everybody. I'm leaving SUSE company but don't worry. I want to continue participating on translations. I expect my svn access will stay untouched. I hope that you will send me a box of 11.1 under Christmas tree. ;) I wouldn't have so much time for translation coordination. Jan Kupec is my successor. So happy translating. Best Regards Ladislav Michnovič.
