[opensuse-translation] No new strings for oS 12.2?
by Andrea Turrini 06 May '12

06 May '12

Hi all, in about 10 days the last round of translations should start (MS 3) but at the moment there are essentially no new/fuzzy strings to translate. Since I do not think that there are no string changes, is it possible to have updated strings in the repository? Moreover, is it possible to induce developers to update/regenerate the POT files? so we are sure that translations are still good.

[opensuse-translation] i18n.o.o update
by Alexander Melentyev 02 May '12

02 May '12

Hi! This is just a warning message: I committed a new stats script to the SVN, so i18n.o.o should be updated during the day. While I hope everything will go fine, there can be some problems with permissions and other stuff, which could lead to incorrect page rendering. So, if you face such issues tomorrow (or today, according to your timezone) don't be scared, just report here =) -- Regards, Minton. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-translation+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-translation+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-translation] Global localization issues
by Alexander Melentyev 02 May '12

02 May '12

Hi, fellow listmates. While working on stats counting script I met a few issues in our SVN that need to be discussed. This is mostly about lack of maintenance. Issue 1: Unmaintained languages At leasts 7 languages are totally unmaintained: am:Amharic jv:Javanese lv:Latvian my:Burmese ne:Nepali sq:Albanian sw:Swahili They have ZERO translations for quite a long time. Also I want to specifically add sr@Latn:Serbian Latn to this list — even though it has a few lines translated, svn log shows no translators activity since at least 2006 (only «external maintenance» commits from keichwa, a_jaeger, cihlarov and myself). Those are the most obvious examples, but I'm sure there is more. Issue 2: Lack of translators It was already mentioned a few days ago, but it gives us a good example of what's happening: webyast-example-ui.pot was not merged automagically. The thing is that 48 "teams" still don't have it merged. This leads me to a conclusion that a number of active teams is severely lower than a total number of language directories available. So when the marketing team will look at the toplist and see 60+ languages listed, it is far from true. What do you think, should we define a way to determine really «unmaintained» langs and drop such languages? Or at least do something about them? -- Regards, Minton. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-translation+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-translation+owner(a)opensuse.org
