Switching entities back
by Paul W. Frields 19 Apr '07

19 Apr '07

We will be reverting entity handling back to the "-e" version. This will require some additional translation between F7 test4 => F7 Final, but the work involved should be minimal. I will revert this behavior *after* the fedora-release-notes package goes to the release engineering team. You may find that certain titles or names are not properly translated in the test4 output for this reason, for example: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=236454 This behavior will be fixed after: 1. The entity handling reverts to "xml2po -e", AND 2. Translators complete the changes to their PO content resulting from the entity handling change. I expect to make this change around 16-17 April. I apologize to the translators for creating this bit of extra work, and I'll try not to have that happen again. Thanks to everyone for your efforts and keep up the good work! -- Paul W.

What needs to be done to have a language added to the installer
by Alexandru Szasz 18 Apr '07

18 Apr '07

Hello With fedora's site moving now, I didn't find anything on what needs to be done to have the fedora installer available in a new language. I've been watching that the Essential Modules from the status page ( http://elvis.redhat.com/cgi-bin/i18n-status?page=status&branch=HEAD&locale=… ) are at 100%, but although this has been done, in the last test release I still don't have romanian in the installer. Can anyone help me with this ? -- Alexandru Szasz

Hello, I'm translated the new libvirt strings and found "%smark" in "Failed to %smark domain %s as autostarted" for example. Can someone tell me what "%smark" means ? Thanks Thomas

New specspo structure
by Martin Bacovsky 17 Apr '07

17 Apr '07

Hi, I'm maintainer of specspo package. I regenerated specspo pot files and slightly changed tree structure. The process looked like this: - generate new po catalgue from selected rpm repos (usually rawhide-nightly) - commit the changes on ELVIS cvs tree - translation team hard-work here - after they commit their changes put everything to tarball and update specspo on DIST with it - wait till next release (FC or RHEL) and goto 1 This shows we had currently just one specspo ELVIS upstream for everything we release. This specspo included everything I decide to include according to what we are about to release. Problems: - it was not possible to regenerate catalogues for recent release. If package descr or summary changed for recent product we were not able to do the translation (or at least I didn't know how) - upstream on ELVIS was not updated, it was recreated from scratch (from different sources) - this can make possibly troubles to translation team (? - correct me if I am wrong) - we had one specspo for everything (this could contain a lot of packages not included in dist). To solve some of these problems I decided to split current specspo tree into branches like DIST tree is. So since now it looks like this: |-- common |-- RHEL-5 | `-- dist | |-- desc | `-- summary `-- devel `-- dist |-- desc `-- summary Directory common contains some service scripts. Under RHEL-5 and devel is same structure you are used to. After release of fc7 I make copy of devel called FC-7. I am about to improve service scripts so they can post mail to fedora-trans-list if pot files in directory other then devel are changed. (this should by VERY rare). I hope that than the process remain unchanged for translation team (you just need to keep translation in specspo/devel/ up to date). If I can do anything that can make your translation of specspo smoother, let me know. Also any comment or idea would be appreciated. Regards, Martin

Help with terms on system-config-printer
by Xavi Conde 16 Apr '07

16 Apr '07

Hi, I have some difficulties on finding a translation for the following terms on system-config-printers "Punch\n" "Cover\n" "Bind\n" "Saddle stitch\n" "Edge stitch\n" "Fold\n" "Trim\n" "Bale\n" "Booklet maker\n" "Job offset\n" If somebody can explain what kind of finishing is every one of them it would help a lot. From definitions I've found on Google they all seem to be the same... -- Google talk/Jabber: xavi.conde a gmail.com

L10N reminder: Repackage of Fedora-upstream stuff before final and F7T4
by Dimitris Glezos 16 Apr '07

16 Apr '07

A quick reminder to maintainers that tonight we've got the translation freeze date. This means we *guarantee* translators that their contributions committed by tomorrow will be a part of F7. Maintainers of packages that get translated through i18n.redhat.com should make sure they repackage before F7 final (the later the better if new translations show up). Repackages for T4 as well are a plus, since they give a chance to non-rawhide testers to report bugs. The above apply for non-fedora-upstream goodies like `hosted`-hosted and yum. -d -- Dimitris Glezos Jabber ID: glezos(a)jabber.org, GPG: 0xA5A04C3B http://dimitris.glezos.com/ "He who gives up functionality for ease of use loses both and deserves neither."

A bit of away time
by Dimitris Glezos 16 Apr '07

16 Apr '07

Hey all. Just a quick notice to say that for the following 2 months I'll be away from Fedora and mailing lists due to a pile of work and a ton of upcoming stuff (thesis writing, big trip, GSoC, blah). This is done to ensure that after this period I'll still have the little hair I'm left with. Not that it will do much help, but one can only hope. I'll try to pop-in every now and then with comments but avoid actual work and regular updates. For FDSCo, if my presence is needed for a meeting or my opinion for a matter, you guys just give a shout. Awaiting to return in full throttle again in the summer with the GSoC project. -d -- Dimitris Glezos Jabber ID: glezos(a)jabber.org, GPG: 0xA5A04C3B http://dimitris.glezos.com/ "He who gives up functionality for ease of use loses both and deserves neither."

Self-Introduction: Ore Landau
by Ore Landau 16 Apr '07

16 Apr '07

Hello! My name is Ore Landau. I live in Petach Tikwa, Israel. I'm on my last year of junior high. I have discovered the magical world of Linux two years ago when a friend of mine came up with a initiative to install Fedora Terminal Server in our school's computers. Here's his site: http://edultsp.googlepages.com/ Since then, I have installed and used Debian, Ubuntu, Gentoo and many other. But in the end, I always come back to fedora J Only today I have discovered all this new ways to help and contribute to the Fedora project. I've always felt that the Hebrew Fedora port was lacking a lot of stuff, and that's why I'm here. In the past, I've also helped in translating Gmail to Hebrew. I'm a C# and C++ programmer and I know how to handle HTML, PHP, Perl and JS very well. I also have a great knowledge with MS Windows. Here is my GPG command output: [Ore4444@Fedora ~]# gpg --fingerprint ore4444(a)gmail.com pub 1024D/836A8E90 2007-04-14 Key fingerprint = EBE2 F45E 2819 C2F2 EC10 E8D0 6E77 F0B1 836A 8E90 uid Ore Landau <ore4444(a)gmail.com> sub 2048g/03D4C336 2007-04-14 Thank you for reading my application J Have a good day! Ore :-)

I've updated the release notes translation statistics page at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject/Translation/Statistics to include today's current status. As stated in a previous message to fedora-trans-list¹, today at 2359 UTC is the deadline for translations to these materials for the test4 release of Fedora 7. ** Only minor changes will be permitted to the release notes at this time, to ensure that translators are not burdened by too many new or fuzzy strings. ** The next (and FINAL) POT update will occur on 21 April 2007, and the absolute final deadline for translation PO files is 2359 UTC on 2 May 2007. Refer to the Documentation Project schedule² for more details. = = = = = ¹ http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-trans-list/2007-April/msg00006.html ² http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject/Schedule -- Paul W.
