Could you tell me when and why these SLE translations have been created? In many files, especially files we (the german team) have proof read before the 11.1 release are very different (70%?). Many changes/improvements (conformity with Gnome/KDE!) are reverted, other strings are just translated differently - not better not worse.
No, nothing got reverted. SLE11 translations are based on the approved SLE10 SP2 translations plus new translations. These new translations are either done from scratch or based on openSUSE or upstream translations.
Of course some typos have been fixed, others been introduced. But in general I would say that at least our files recently proofread before the 11.1 release are better. I have the impression that for at least some files SLE did not make any use of our translations or real fork happened a long time ago.
Some of the 11.1 translations were done "too late". For example, even shortly before GA the German openSUSE translations were rather mixed and thus we have had to use the SLE10 SP2 translations as the basis.
I have not checked my language very recently, but I can relate to this from past experiences.
I admit that in the past SLE translations surfaced in the openSUSE world via the memory files, but we never exchanged existing translations directly or intentionally. Lately, I stopped adding translations from the SLE branches to the memory files of the trunk.
It is indeed quite annoying to fix bad translations (which I suspect comes from the SLES/SLED process), only to have the the same bad translations reintroduced before the next translation round.
Please check whether this actually happened in the trunk of the SVN. Maybe, something weird happened by accident. Otherwise it would help a lot if you create a bug entry telling us which messages you have had to fix. -- Karl Eichwalder R&D / Documentation SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-translation+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-translation+help@opensuse.org
