-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hi, I'm having a little problem with lokalize, and I'm asking here instead of the general list because you are more familiar with that software.

However, I see in yast that I have installed: libqt4-sql - Qt 4 SQL related libraries libqt4-sql-mysql - Qt 4 MySQL support I'm not running a KDE session, but a gnome session with lokalize.

[opensuse-translation] Unbreakable spaces in translations?
by Guillaume Gardet 13 Dec '12

13 Dec '12

Hi, Is there anyone who knows if we can use unbreakable spaces ( ) in our translations? Or will it be displayed   instead of a space? I guess the answer depends on the PO file but it would be very nice to know which files could use   and which cannot. Maybe Karl could help?

[opensuse-translation] SLE11SP2 branch created
by Karl Eichwalder 03 Dec '12

03 Dec '12

I just created the SLE11SP2 branch: https://svn.opensuse.org/svn/opensuse-i18n/branches/SLE11SP2 This means that https://svn.opensuse.org/svn/opensuse-i18n/branches/SLE11 is now in use for a future SLE 11 SP release. If not told or agreed, please do not touch these branch directories. Minton, can you please once again update the statistics page? I think we no longer need SLE11-SP1 and SLE11-GA on the statistics page, but I'd appreciate if you could add SLE11-SP2 instead and keep SLE11.

[opensuse-translation] Starting again: Factory/12.3
by Karl Eichwalder 24 Oct '12

24 Oct '12

This morning I asked the developers to start with updating the POT files in trunk for Factory/12.3. I'll probably merge what we have in 'lcn' today or tomorrow. 'yast' files are also updated, but first we must take a closer look whether old stuff crept in again ;) Jiri is a little bit suspicious because of the svn to git migration. I'll wait with merging the yast file until this is sorted out. -- 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 To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-translation+owner(a)opensuse.org

Dunno if anyone else here gets skull crushing visions from 'The Powers that Be', I sure don't - I don't think there is anyone who can answer that question I am afraid. However if the demo works it will be up to the website owners to accept merge requests to enable this functionality. They will only do that if they feel it's worth it - as they will have to maintain it in the future. As they don't seem like feeling responding here, I have no idea if they will. That is in part why I suggested to create a demo site of say open- build-service.org - if that works satisfactory, the owners of that site (that'd be Adrian & the rest of the OBS team, I suppose) might like it and be willing to adopt it. If they do, well, in dutch we say "once one sheep has crossed the dam, others will follow". > The reason why I used the term "shepherding" is because I am always > interested in building something that can live independently of myself-- > I'm not looking to make myself indispensible, from the first day of > anything I do I'm looking to bring on others who want to build the same > thing. Unless someone does it, it isn't gonna happen. We've got shepherders plenty, but no sheep interested in doing it until someone has shown it's worth doing. That's what I suggested doing... If you've implemented this and it is accepted by the website admins, that means they are convinced of the value. At that point, it WILL live on independent of you because they have to maintain it and websites which don't implement it might get it just to fall in line. > Also, awhile back I started penciling out what mass Translation for > openSUSE might become. Yes, all things start small. But, if this becomes > important to more people in openSUSE, I'd like to involve anyone who wants > this to enhance what they do and avoid being unable to deliver. It's about the first step - unless it's shown to work on a site and provides some benefit, it won't go anywhere, I'm afraid. That's why I suggested to Just Do It. > Tony > > On Sep 27, 2012 2:38 AM, "Jos Poortvliet" <jos(a)opensuse.org> wrote: > > On Wednesday 26 September 2012 15:18:09 Tony Su wrote: > > > Hello Jan (and whoever else receives this, I'm not subscribed to all > > > the mail-lists on CC) > > > > > > Yes, it's quite possible that the initial translations might not be > > > "good enough" -- and ultimately since machine translations today still > > > cannot usually provide better than word for word literal word > > > substitution, "good enough" is probably best defined as understandable > > > although not with the smooth idiomatic linguistic structures that can > > > best be provided by a human being. > > > > > > What machine translation can provide is the ability to get the proper > > > meaning across, to communicate an idea properly.
