The .ent file is generated from the .xml, and the LOCALE_ENTITIES is a link to those entities. If you link to the .xml sources things stop working. -- Paul W.

[RFC] Towards translatable entities
by Tommy Reynolds 28 Feb '06

28 Feb '06

Hi Ya'll <<<DO NOT CHANGE ANY OF YOUR FILES BASED ON THIS EMAIL!>>> What follows is an approach to a thorny problem the translators are encountering. ALL DOCUMENT AUTHORS should read this too, because a small amount of re-editing will be necessary if this approach is adopted. I think it will be a one-line change to the "${PRI_LANG}/${DOCBASE}.xml" file. Currently, each document hard-codes the filename needed to include the FDP entities: <!DOCTYPE article PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.4//EN" "http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.4/docbookx.dtd" [ <!ENTITY % FEDORA-ENTITIES-EN SYSTEM "../../docs-common/common/fedora-entities-en.ent"> %FEDORA-ENTITIES-EN; <!ENTITY DOCNAME "example-tutorial"> <!ENTITY DOCVERSION "0.14.1">  <!ENTITY DOCDATE "2006-01-21">  <!ENTITY DOCID "&DOCNAME;-&DOCVERSION; (&DOCDATE;)"> <!ENTITY BUG-NUM "000000">  ]> In addition, several additional entities, such as "&DOCDATE;", must be manually edited each time the document is rebuilt. This technique of using entities makes effective translations difficult because filename paths and entities are outside the scope of the text addressed by the translation tools. Thus, it is not currently possible to have completely automated I18N support. By re-using the same tools and techniques already in place for the document body translation, it should be possible to: 1) Place all entity definitions for a single locale into an XML file described by a custom DTD. Utilize .POT and .PO files, in conjunction with an XSL stylesheet, to automatically derive non-English, aka ${OTHERS}, XML files. Just like we can do for the document body files. 2) Instead of referencing a locale-specific href in the <DOCTYPE> declaration, reference a fixed filename "entities.ent" that will actually be a symbolic link (or an equivalent method) to the translated entity file produced above. The building system "Makefile.common" should be able to do this transparently to document authors. 3) Dynamic entities like "&DOCDATE;" can easily be implemented by "Makefile.common" and XSL stylesheet surgery. This will eliminate the in-document entity definitions in favor of entities that we can derive from the "rpm-info.xml" file. So far, I've sketched out a preliminary framework. The DTD, a sample entity definition XML file, an XSL stylesheet and a Makefile are available at my ftp://ftp.megacoder.com/pub/entities/ site. Please take a look at this proof-of-concept and post your comments and suggestions. Cheers -- I'm already an anomaly, I shall soon be an anachronism, and I have every intention of dying an abuse!

new Editor-in-Chief for release notes
by Karsten Wade 27 Feb '06

27 Feb '06

I'm quite pleased to inform you that Robert 'Bob' Jensen is taking over the Editor-in-Chief role for the release notes. For the rest of FC5 release, Bob and I are working closely together on everything from language edits, Wiki2XML, and publication. The goal is for Bob to be running things by FC6 test1. Here are some of the tasks of the EiC: * Watches all commits to Docs/Beats * Edits content for style, clarity, and markup consistency * Coordinates the beat writers (project management) - Updating release note schedules[1] - Scheduling announcing and enforcing - Recruiting help * Ensures content goes: Wiki -> XML -> PO/POT -> XML -> HTML/TXT -> {ISO, Website} * Looks for improvements to the release notes - Automation - Process changes - Tool changes Thanks - Karsten [1] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject/Schedule -- Karsten Wade, RHCE * Sr. Tech Writer * http://people.redhat.com/kwade/ gpg fingerprint: 2680 DBFD D968 3141 0115 5F1B D992 0E06 AD0E 0C41 Content Services Fedora Documentation Project http://www.redhat.com/docs http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject

release-notes.pot
by Francesco Tombolini 26 Feb '06

26 Feb '06

Hi all, today I have seen that ru.po was added in the cvs, I have seen that the zh_cn.po is present too, but the first is about 548 strings while the second is 553... How do we have homogeneous documents without a common .pot file? Do I have to make one by myself too? If so, I need help to generate a single .po file with all release-notes content... Thank-you -- Francesco Tombolini <tombo(a)adamantio.net>

[ANN] Final FC5 release notes content freeze 24 Feb. 23:59 UTC
by Karsten Wade 24 Feb '06

24 Feb '06

We are taking a snapshot of the Wiki for conversion to XML this Friday 24 Feb. at almost-Midnight UTC. That's 64.5 hours from now. Beat Writers: Please get in your final, final, final release note changes to your beats. Beat Editors: Divide the pages amongst ourselves and edit, edit, edit. Yes, there is going to be a latest Web update taken on 08 March, but that _shall_not_ be in the ISO. We're going to need all weekend to be sure we give the translators something good on 27 Feb. We are intending to put the translatable .po files through the Web app at: http://i18n.redhat.com/cgi-bin/i18n-status cheers - Karsten -- Karsten Wade, RHCE * Sr. Tech Writer * http://people.redhat.com/kwade/ gpg fingerprint: 2680 DBFD D968 3141 0115 5F1B D992 0E06 AD0E 0C41 Content Services Fedora Documentation Project http://www.redhat.com/docs http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject

changes to legal notice
by Karsten Wade 24 Feb '06

24 Feb '06

I've prepared and verified the following changes to our legal notice, which I am going to put in CVS. I have one question first: Do we use any Red Hat trademarks in Fedora documentation? I think we do, we at least refer to Red Hat on occasion. Just want to be sure I'm not missing something obvious. This file is docs-common/common/legalnotice-content-en.xml, now tagged "docs-common-new-canonical-legal-notice-using-OPL". We'll begin actual usage of this legal notice with each document when we have relicensing sign-off from each contributor. ## begin new legal notice in entirety Copyright (c) 2006 by Fedora Foundation and others.
