Hi Folks
As many of you might aware of, that we have merged our Project - UTRRS
(Unicode Text Rendering Reference System) into FUEL after the discussion.
Now we would like to propose the change in Naming Convention for the
project UTRRS and we seek suggestions for the same from all of you. We
would like to request for the new ideas that how the current name of the
project "UTRRS" can be change or will be replaced with and welcome all of
your efforts on this task.
The name 'UTRRS' is although accepted by everybody when it was developed
and till today. Still, we would like to change it's pattern of naming
convention and provide a nomenclature which suites its functionality more
accurately in a rather simple manner which is more understandable and
acceptable to the community with the nature of purpose this application
serves.
As a preface, we would like to share some facts like what exactly the UTRRS
is, how does it work, what does it do, how it helps etc etc in a short
summary :
UTRRS stands for Unicode Text Rendering Reference System which is a concept
of Testifying and Validating the rendering of any Grammatical Character or
Composed Character in a comparison method with a Reference Character that
is provided. The difference between the rendered character and the
reference character is what the test result we can record with 'match' or
'mismatch'.
Based on this concept, we have developed a tool which actually provides a
platform or web interface to Validate the Character or Composed Character.
As of now we have implemented it in 11 Indic Locales which are based on
script based characters (like Devanagari or Dravidian).
UTRRS is an web based tool developed with ruby on rails and with MySQL as a
backend database server. It verifies the rendering of any fonts installed
in your system as well as the rendering engine's (Pango, qt, icu, or
harfbuzz or any other) performance in terms of forming the character shapes
regardless of whether it is any base characters (Codepoint) or any composed
character (GSUB or GPOS), platform independently.
We have a certain set of plans for this project's further enhancement and
this will come in the roadmap on the project page upon the completion of
merging task, and we will seek contributions from all of you as a community
effort in near future.

Hi
As you all know, since 2008 FUEL is consistently working with the different
language communities to provide standard linguistic resources to localizers
like terminologies, style guides, assessment methods etc. Initiated by Red
Hat, FUEL has grown into a larger effort. Resources created by FUEL are now
used by several language communities, organizations, companies, tools, and
pieces of software. In 2012, Govt of Maharashtra, India has chosen FUEL for
its e-Governance standard. C-DAC has cited FUEL in its Localization
Guidelines for term consistency in context of Indian Languages. FUEL is
cited as a reference standard in 'Best Practices for Localization of e-Gov
Applications in India'. The collaboration with Wiki Media Foundation has
helped FUEL much and it is now having contribution for more than 30
languages world wide.
On the occasion of completion of five years, FUEL intends to organize a
GILT Conference in order to focus on the linguistic aspects of the software
translations. In this GILT conference we are also gathering industry
localization experts, linguists, internationalization engineers, testing
professionals working towards language technologies.

More details and update will be posted soon!
Thanks!

Hi,
FUEL welcomes UTRRS!
UTRRS is a great project which has done an awesome work in developing the testing method of the complex text layout ("CTL") rendering systems. UTRRS is widely used and appreciated a lot by various organizations and currently used as a standard for various Indic locales.
FUEL is very much thankful to all UTRRS developers! We can hope that this collaboration will lead to great development and inventions in the field of language technology!
regards,
Rajesh Ranjan

Hi
We have prepared context for fuel-mobile module.
https://fedorahosted.org/fuel/raw-attachment/wiki/fuel-terminology/fuel-mob…
We will update this context soon in files with git/svn.
We have realised that any terminology module should be released with its
context information and we will follow this as a rule for all upcoming
modules.

Hello Everybody,
Localization of software plays an important part in software
development life-cycle.
To ensure the maximum correctness and quality of localization. We are
proposing an idea named Screenshot Comparison Method in which there is a
visual comparison of screenshots of source language and target language is
done and a test plan is prepared. Depending upon the test plan modification
is done.
The above proposal is tested manually on Mozilla Firefox 20.0
in English and Hindi locale. The same can be created for other software in
different locale.
I am also proposing a gui mock-up for the same. <3>

Please read the above docs and comment on the proposal in order to improve
it and to make software localization testing easy.

Hi,
We have prepared a guide that tries to tell in briefly about the context
and its importance in the field of technical translation. Context as an
concept is a very controversial subject in various discipline. Here we have
tried to understand the concept of context in the field of technical
translation and in particular related to the FOSS area. Hope this guide
will be helpful for translator as well as developer. Please give us
feedback. You can download it in pdf as well as odt format from here:

Hi everyone. Please find a little status report from translatewiki.net and
some questions below.
At translatewiki.net, translators have been contributing away at the three
FUEL collections over the past months[1]. Contributors that have made their
affiliation and location known are mostly from Europe and Asia.
So far, some 12.000 translations and changes have been made[2]. Around 500
translations have been accepted by peers[3]. An overview of completion
levels is also available[4]. Currently we make weekly contributions to the
git repo[5]. There are no problems on the technical side of things that I
am aware of.
Translators have been asking some questions about the translatable content.
At the moment there are 6 open issues[6].
Who can please take a look at the open issue and work towards resolving
them?
My request is to keep an eye on this page regularly, as this is the place
where translatewiki.net support coordinators will move support requests for
FUEL to. Who can be contact person for this?
Another thing I'd like to address is the status of the mobile and web
collections. The strings have not been documented, and this makes it pretty
hard for translators to translate at times.
Is there any time line set out to where these collections will reach
"version 1 - released"?
Is there any time line set out to where these collections will be annotated
with context information in the source files mobile/fuel-mobile-en.pot and
web/fuel-web-en.pot, as is done in desktop/fuel-desktop-en.pot?
