[opensuse-translation] [Attention]YaST Software Management GTK broken because gtk.pot is broken!
by Marguerite Su 11 Nov '24

Hi, Karl and all other local translators: Please watch bug 801311: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=801311 (There's also a software bug in it and has been assigned, so I can't assign it to Karl at the same time) Our yast/50-pot/gtk.pot is now only 48 strings, comparing to 321 strings in qt-pkg.pot Some former commit before 12.3 destroyed all strings for the GTK interface. (ViewVC is currently broken, so I can't tell which commit) So we may have to re-do the work for a big update. Just reserve some time in your schedule, or your locale will be broken for the entire 12.3 life cycle!

[opensuse-translation] British English translations in YaST and other openSUSE projects
by Stanislav Brabec 11 Feb '20

Hi. I just reviewed British English translation in YaST and other openSUSE projects. Many years ago, somebody created British English translations. But these translations are abandoned for 3 to 18 years, and the translation coverage is very low. As a result, British openSUSE experience is inconsistent[1], contains lot of typos (e. g. consistently uses "bhaviour", somewhere you can find even invalid HTML). Even terminology is not consistent. See the screenshot of yast2 apparmor: AppArmor vs. AppArmour[2]. Additionally, it seems to be machine created with an incorrect algorithm (only first occurrence on the line is translated). That is why I am proposing: - Either somebody will pick maintenance of these translations. - Or somebody writes some form of automated tool. It could be relatively easy.[3][4] - Or drop these translations completely. I can imagine automated tool that pre-fills translation with known English conversions, and if somebody edits string manually, it will left it without any changes. References: [1] https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1084015 [2] cid:apparmor-en-gb.png [3] cid:translate.sh is a simple script, which covers nearly 100% of YaST. To be perfect for all purposes, it needs to cover e. g. I_nitialise or Co&lour etc. (But YaST generates hotkeys automatically.)
