No. The openSUSE translation was took as a default one. SLE Merge Robot changes were sent only as unapproved suggestions. Anybody from the community still can go through the suggestions, and solve them: https://l10n.opensuse.org/translate/zypper/master/pt_BR/?type=suggestions https://l10n.opensuse.org/translate/libzypp/master/pt_BR/?type=suggestions If it will not be done by community, contracted translators will be paid to make it 100% translated (and with with no pending suggestions). They should not change terminology, only make a linguistic review of the translated part. I believe that they will work carefully and check suggestions one by one. However I am not a native speaker of these languages, so I have to trust that the best available translation will be used.
I saw this as a problem. Why? Right now zypper is 96,3% translated for pt_BR. Will the contractors start with that or with the last version they worked? (With that they will complain that the translation doesn't comply with their standards.
No, this time (SLE12 SP2 for these three projects, SLE13 for all projects) they will start on top of the last openSUSE version.
After they do their work and when zypper is available to translate again we, the comunity translators, will have to revert all the changes contracted translators made or, at least, review all work done and update the terms we use different. Next round of translations, same problems...
Translators should use community translations, as the rest of the system uses it as well. If you find a problem, you can make suggestion or comment during the translation process. I hope that the word fight will not appear. -- Best Regards / S pozdravem, Stanislav Brabec software developer --------------------------------------------------------------------- SUSE LINUX, s. r. o. e-mail: sbrabec@suse.com Křižíkova 148/34 (Corso IIa) tel: +49 911 7405384547 186 00 Praha 8-Karlín fax: +420 284 084 001 Czech Republic http://www.suse.cz/ PGP: 830B 40D5 9E05 35D8 5E27 6FA3 717C 209F A04F CD76 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-translation+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-translation+owner@opensuse.org

Hi,
Which is our deadline?
Contracted translators should start to translate this week. -- Best Regards / S pozdravem, Stanislav Brabec software developer --------------------------------------------------------------------- SUSE LINUX, s. r. o. e-mail: sbrabec@suse.com Křižíkova 148/34 (Corso IIa) tel: +49 911 7405384547 186 00 Praha 8-Karlín fax: +420 284 084 001 Czech Republic http://www.suse.cz/ PGP: 830B 40D5 9E05 35D8 5E27 6FA3 717C 209F A04F CD76 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-translation+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-translation+owner@opensuse.org
Hi Luiz/All,
I just wanted to take the opportunity to allay some of the concerns and give some more information. As Stanislav highlighted we will be starting to engage our translators for these 3 packages by Friday of this week, though we can push this to next Monday if needed. Our plan is to translate any currently untranslated strings, fix any fuzzy strings or strings with QA issues. We also plan to review the suggestion strings. The instructions to the translators for suggestions is to only make a change if there's a real improvement to the translation by making the change. If the existing openSUSE string is a good translation, then it won't be changed.
In addition, we also have Linguistic Consultants. These review the work of the translators to ensure quality levels are maintained. They will review a sample of the strings for quality control. The feedback on these will be sent back to the translators who can them implement the required improvements.
I saw one message regarding terminology. We have a terminology database that our translators do have access to. This can be found here: www.novellglossaries.com. This is available for you to access with the following credentials:

Our goal here is to help supplement the translations you have already submitted. We feel this is an opportunity to work together to improve the quality levels throughout the products. This Weblate pilot will help us to adjust to the new tool, while also building a workflow so we can all contribute in a constructive way. There will likely be teething issues as we go through the pilot but I think this is an opportunity to work together in a way that hasn't happened before.
Thanks,
Padraig.

I'll point out just one pair of terms that were much discussed by the Spanish team: file vs archive. In English they have different meanings. In Spanish they are typically equivalent. We, after long discussions, reached an agreement on how to differentiate both. I don't see that differentiation in that vocabulary, so that the new translation may break our past agreement. I could point to our own glossary, but it has been taken offline. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
Hi Carlos,
You mention that you have a glossary but it is offline. It there a way to make it available, or a dump of the content so we could have our translators stay consistent with it.
Are there any other language glossaries available?
Thanks,
Padraig.

It was the glossary used on Vertaal, and yes, I asked Gabriel for a dump of it (the Spanish one). It's a XML file. Yes, I could forward it to you.
Are there any other language glossaries available?
Yes, all the languages that were supported by Vertaal could have their own glossaries. You would have to ask him for a copy of those. Wait... I think that the xml file I have also has other languages. It is xml, but I failed to open it with LO. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
Hi Carlos,
If we had those in TBX format we may be able to import these into our Database and use this going forward.
Not sure if this is possible though.
Thanks,
Padraig.

Ah, OK, I see. Then this issue can be much more complicated... At least in Czech, let's say Linux and Windows worlds use bit different wording...

Hello Vojtěch If I may clarify, it may not necessarily be more more complicated, as the distinction is made in the database between Linux terms (via the use of the product name "SUSE Linux") and non-Linux terms (using all other Micro Focus product names).
