[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

[opensuse-translation] "packages" translation
by Andrea Turrini 23 May '11

23 May '11

Hi all, browsing in the svn trunk, I found the "packages" folder containing po files for a subset of languages. The contained strings seem to me to be the description of rpms included in the dvd/live-cd. Are these files used? If yes, should we translate also such files?

[opensuse-translation] Preparing 11.4 translation online update
by Karl Eichwalder 20 May '11

20 May '11

As usual, shortly after the release I'd like to prepare a translation update. Please, help with collecting info about parts that are worth an update. Webyast is already known. Which yast languages? Desktop components? There is already a about update-desktop-files: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=679089 BTW, if you resolve a translation bug and it deserves an online update, do not set its status to RESOLVED, but better assign it to me for packaging and releasing an update. Of course, all you guys familiar with packaging are encouraged to prepare translation online updates! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-translation+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-translation+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-translation] Translation of openSUSE into Norwegian Nynorsk
by Karl Ove Hufthammer 19 May '11

19 May '11

Hi! I’d like to start translating openSUSE into Norwegian Nynorsk (language code ‘nn’). Requested information: New language name: Norwegian Nynorsk My full name: Karl Ove Hufthammer My BerliOS login: huftis My contact e-mail: karl(a)huftis.org Note that http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Localization_team lists the language ‘Norwegian’. This is actually Norwegian Bokmål (language code ‘nb’), a different language from Norwegian Nynorsk. (There is no *written* language called just ‘Norwegian’.) Please change the ‘Norwegian’ entry to ‘Norwegian Bokmål’ and add ‘Norwegian Nynorsk’ as a separate language/team. The same should be done for the http://i18n.opensuse.org/stats/ pages. -- Regards, Karl Ove Hufthammer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-translation+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-translation+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-translation] Refresh pot files?
by Andrea Turrini 18 May '11

18 May '11

Hi all, according to the oS 12.1 roadmap[1], the last round of translations will start Sept. the 1st. As pointed out in previous messages, there are some translations that are not used by corresponding applications. This seems to be due to outdated pot files or to different msgids in po files and applications. Moreover, there are po files without corresponding pot files, such as html-help-boot.it.po, html-help-install.it.po, kfiledialog.it.po, kinternet.it.po and libgnomesu-1.0.it.po in lnc. Is it possible to refresh all pot files (and then all po files) in order to be sure to translate the right messages?

[opensuse-translation] PING (preferred term in German ?) - IS: [opensuse-wiki-de] Repository/Repositorys oder Depot/Depots oder ... : Welche Bezeichnung vorzugsweise (in Artikelnamen und meist im Text)?
by pistazienfresser (see profile) 15 May '11

15 May '11

Liebe Benutzer und Macher von openSUSE, mag noch jemand anders zu der Diskussion zu dem Thema etwas beitragen, wie ein Verzeichnis für Softwarepakete und Metadaten - auf Englisch in openSUSE: repository, pl.: repositories - im neuen deutschsprachigen openSUSE-Wiki genannt werden sollte? Dies bezieht sich auf die Bezeichnung, die in Artikelnamen (außer Weiterleitungen) und meist im Text (außer in Einleitungen) benutzt werden soll. Bei Interesse wäre es schön, wenn Ihr die folgende Diskussionsseite besuchen könntet: http://dewiki.opensuse.org/Diskussion:Paket_Repositories (bis Ende Montag). Dear users and makers of openSUSE, does someone else like also to contribute to the discussion on the matter how a directory for software packages and metadata - in English in openSUSE: repository, pl.: repositories - should be named in the new openSUSE-Wiki for German language? This is referring on the term that should be used in names of articles (apart from redirects) and in the text (apart from introductions). In case you are interested it would be nice if you would visit the following discussion page/talk page: http://dewiki.opensuse.org/Diskussion:Paket_Repositories (until the end of Monday).
