[opensuse-translation] .po editor on windows?
by Carlos E. R. 03 Aug '12

03 Aug '12

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi! Somebody knows a .po file editor for windows? I have some available free time, which I could use to translate, but the only computer I have on those intervals runs windows. Installing or even running a linux live is out of the question, forbidden. But I might install some editor, standalone if possible. Ideas? - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

[opensuse-translation] Starting with 12.1, slowly
by Karl Eichwalder 22 Jun '11

22 Jun '11

In the trunk, we now have some .pot file updates. There is no urgent need to work on them--it is still a long way to go. See coolo's http://en.opensuse.org/Roadmap . This is more to figure out whether all translatable pieces are available and--maybe more important--what's obsolete by now. For example, slide-show is such an open issue, but we already track it at https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=671697 -- Karl Eichwalder - R&D / Documentation SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendörffer, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg), Maxfeldstraße 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-translation+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-translation+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-translation] How to report typos in packages/pot files
by Andrea Turrini 06 Jun '11

06 Jun '11

Hi all, I am translating packages/base1.po file and I have found some typo in the msgids. If I have understood correctly, these msgids are extracted automatically from rpms included in the distribution. What is the best way to report such typos? Should I contact directly the rpm mantainer or file a bug in bnc? In the former case, how can I find the mantainer given that I do not have an account in obs and rpm -qi reports only authors? In the latter case, is there an (almost) automatic way to relate the rpm to the right component available in bnc?

[opensuse-translation] openSUSE Conference 2011: Translators and Localization
by Karl Eichwalder 01 Jun '11

01 Jun '11

The 3rd international conference of the openSUSE project takes place in Nuremberg, Germany from 11th to 14th of September 2011: http://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Conference Now it is up to us to plan translation and localization related activities: presentations, discussions, or even workshops. I'll offer to talk about our infrastructure (SVN server and communication channels), involved people (translators, package and component maintainers, coordinators), and selected components (e.g., YaST, desktop files, translation update packages). What are your ideas? I think small sessions about the tools you use, would be great. Do we need a trouble-shooting session, where we can talk about thinks that do not work? One of my goals would be to attrack even more translators. Often teams consist of just one active translator. It would help a lot, if more would join and, for example, do testing and bug reporting. -- Karl Eichwalder SUSE LINUX Products GmbH R&D / Documentation Maxfeldstraße 5 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendörffer, 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

[opensuse-translation] Inconsistent use of Btrfs in lcn/storage.pot
by Freek de Kruijf 31 May '11

31 May '11

The term Btrfs in this module is sometimes written as BTRFS of btrfs. I would prefer a consistent use of this term. Always Btrfs? -- fr.gr.

[opensuse-translation] Timestamp and GIT revision in kernel description
by Andrea Turrini 30 May '11

30 May '11

Hi all, in the description of kernel packages (kernel-desktop and kernel-default) there is a Source Timestamp and a GIT Revision. Is it possible to make msgid and msgstr independent from these values, in order to be sure that translations are up-to-date?

[opensuse-translation] Packages and OpenOffice.org
by Andrea Turrini 29 May '11

29 May '11

Hi all, just a question: packages/*.po files still contain some reference to OpenOffice.org (by hunspell and myspell). Since this is not a simple typo, should I open a bug report (and hence the maintainer decides what to do) or should I update the package in openSUSE:Factory as I do for typos?

I think what is the most important in attracting new contributors is making clear that: - for translating, it's more important to be familiar with the product than to be a technical person - there is often a webservice where translations are coordinated (like tradu.softwareliber.ro for Romanian), you don't really have to worry about source control and stuff like that - there are groups of translators for different products who collaborate in order to provide translations which are as close as possible to each-other. They also offer support and advice to newcomers. Thanks, Strainu (to be credited as-is if you think what I said above is useful) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-translation+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-translation+help(a)opensuse.org
