[opensuse-translation] Splitting the Spanish translation into es and es_LAT
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello everyone, I have been talking with openSUSE fellow contributors in #opensuse-es and some of us (Spanish translators) think that it would be better to split the Spanish translation of the distribution into two variants: - - Castilian Spanish (es or es_ES) - - Latin American Spanish (es_LAT) Why? - - Better, more targeted translations - - Faster translations since we don't "correct" each other - - There aren't lots of new strings, so we can take care of it even with few people There are already Portuguese variants. So why not Spanish? I propose making a copy of "es", so that in the end we have "es" (or "es_ES") and "es_LAT".

Maybe there is some confusion here. There are two groups of translators. The group here, in this list, translate software applications, using the "GNU ‘gettext’ utilities", ie, standard .pot and .po files. There is another group that translates the openSUSE wiki and other web elements (I believe). They are not in this mail list. Exceptionally, the translators in this mail list, the software translators, translate web pages, on request. Because we are asked to translate something important and fast. We usually do it, but we ask them to provide us with .pot files so that we can use our tools and procedures. This is what was done with the new landing page. And about splitting the Spanish translation, I don't oppose it: but we don't have the people for it. Consider that none of the translators has commented on it, yet. Maybe if you ask in the Spanish translation list they will, because few read the English one. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.

Hi. We talked about it in the IRC channel, and I think that it makes sense because while translating I've found: * words I've never read before because, according to the RAE dictionary, are typical of some regions of south America, * words with different punctuation marks that I "fix" unconsciously just because I see them as mistakes, * and words that have different meaning, even an offensive one. Obviously, the opposite must be true for our friends from the other side of the ocean. So the split would be a sane decision. I think it doesn't add a lot of work for any of the parts because it's just a matter of changing the words that doesn't fit well in your location starting from the current translation.

Hi. If the split is done it may require some changes in the infrastructure, so I think it's ok to talk about it here. There could be technicals or any other kind of reasons that prevent the operation. Besides this, there's very little movement in our channel. You have been practically the only one that helped me when I made questions there. It may be that I only asks nonsense but anyway... :) Greetings. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-translation+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-translation+owner@opensuse.org

But it is they who have to decide if there will be a split.

Because there is little need to talk, and people are busy :-) People just translate when they can. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

It's another channel of communication, isn't it? ;) According to Vertaal* there are 11 translators (+ 2 coordinators) in the Spanish team. Of course, some of them might be inactive.

You have to propose it where the rest of the team is. In the Spanish translation mail list.

I think that it's feasible to split the Spanish translation into two (or more) variants as long as there are people willing to maintain them.

Hi all, I just wanted to add my two cents to this espanol topic conversation and hopefully you all agree with my view. On the github contribution portio n - https://github.com/cyntss/opensuse-landing-page, paragraph 3 states: Duplicate the file assets/js/langpack/translation-template.json and name the new file with the International code of language representation of the language you will translate. If you dont know the interntional code of your language you can find at https://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/php/code_list.php under ISO 639-1 Code The way I see it is we should not make any decisions about languages and by applying this international list we don't make a decision. Anyone that wants to contribute can and if the language is on the list it can be used. I think we should follow the list - https://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/php/code_list.php like it is recommended above. This helps openSUSE avoid making a decision that could be viewed as political. It also allows us to respect others through applying an international standard. When we apply the loc.gov standard, this alleviates us from making a decision that could be viewed as political. v/r Doug -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-translation+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-translation+owner@opensuse.org

Hi Douglas, International standards are always dominated by large countries. So following international standards is already a political decision, sorry. And languages, countries, regions *are* a very touchy topic.
