Fedora Bounty for translations
by Dimitris Glezos 13 Apr '07

13 Apr '07

Hey all. I just written a proposal for a Google Summer of Code for "an upstream-compatible L10N platform for Fedora". http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraBounties#L10NPlatform Comments? Suggestions? Anyone experienced in Python thinking of taking it? GSoC pays around $4000 (€3000) for each successfully completed project plus $500 that go to the Fedora 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."

Hi, my name is Asbjørn Nilsen Riseth, and I'm living in Oslo, Norway. I have just recently joined the localization-project, and as the conscientious boy I am, I introduce myself to you according to the steps found here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/L10N/Join/SelfIntroduction Hope I do this right the first time:P I was born the 11th May 1990(16 years old), and currently I go to upper secondary school(simlar to high school I believe). _Me and the Fedora Project:_ This is the first time I take part in any project in the open-source world. I did this spontaneously yesterday, when I found a spelling error in the desctop-effects GUI. First I looked up if there was any way to submit a translation "bug", but I changed my mind and said to myself: "Why not join the Fedora Project instead?" And so I did:P My first thought was just to translate things that has not been translated yet into Norwegian, primarily GUI. But of course, I will see how this works, and maybe I can translate some docs or wiki-pages to. If needed I could also translate some Norwegian Nynorsk, but my mother tounge is Norwegian Bokmål. _Historical qualifications:_ Well, as I said I haven't done anything like this before. My experience with GNU/Linux started with Fedora Core 5, so I haven't got time to explore everything there is to explore yet, though I believe my computerskills may qualify to "experienced"(still, everything is relative). I have done some programming over the last 3/4 years; have had a look at several different languages. I can't say I got any exceptional skills in any programming language, but I know a little in many. In the comming years I may go in deeper in some programming language, when I know what I feel comfortable with. _GPG KEYID and fingerprint:_ $ gpg --fingerprint 6FFD4254 pub 1024D/6FFD4254 2007-04-08 Nøkkelfingeravtrykk = BDA7 A004 A681 10AE ACD9 B0A8 22D4 F1F6 6FFD 4254 uid Asbjørn Nilsen Riseth <anriseth(a)online.no> sub 2048g/A13A8281 2007-04-08 Using Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/mail/

DocsProject common entities -- problem with translations?
by Dimitris Glezos 06 Apr '07

06 Apr '07

Hi all. The Docs Project is thinking of substituting entities like "Fedora 7" in all documentation with "&FC;", so that these entities won't change with each upgrade. For example, now we have in the PO: This paragraph is about Fedora. The change will make this: This paragraph is about &FED;. Is there any language that would have a problem with this? One such problem would be languages which change nouns ("Fedora") in different types of sentences, for example: * "This is Fedora" * "These features of Fedora" * "Burn Fedora on a CD" In greek we've left these untranslated and we won't have a problem. What about other languages? Is everyone OK with this? -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."

New statistics targets
by Paul W. Frields 06 Apr '07

06 Apr '07

I've added a couple new targets to our Makefile.common for use by translators and repo managers: make postat make postat-${LANG} (e.g.: make postat-pa) These targets will give you information on the current statistics for all languages (or a specific language). These targets rely, of course, on the definition of ${OTHERS} in the Makefile. If you need to force a new ${LANG} because it's not defined in the Makefile yet, you can use the form: OTHERS=${MYLANG} make -e postat-${MYLANG} e.g.: OTHERS=xx make -e postat-xx Output is clipped from the normal "msgfmt --stat" command to look like one of the following, where TT is translated, FF is fuzzy, and UU is untranslated: xx: TT/ xx: TT/UU/ xx: TT/FF/UU -- Paul W.

Specspo questions
by Martin Bacovsky 05 Apr '07

05 Apr '07

Hi, I'm maintainer of specspo package. I want to generate new po catalogue for translation and have some questions. Current process looks now 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 have currently just one specspo ELVIS upstream for everything we release. This specspo includes everything I decide to include according to what we are about to release. Problems: - it is not possible to regenerate catalogues for recent release. If package descr or summary changes for recent product we are not able to do the translation (or at least I don't know how) - upstream on ELVIS is not updated, it is recreated from scratch (from different sources) - this can make troubles to translation team (?) - we have one specspo for everything (this can contain a lot of packages not included in dist). Questions: - should specspo contain every package we produce or we should make specspo with just packages included in dist? (cvs branches for different releases on elvis can help) - where can I get list of packages included in release? - should we include all extras packages? Any comment or idea would be appreciated. Regards, Martin

Question about the translation process of fedora 7 relnotes
by Yuan Yijun 03 Apr '07

03 Apr '07

Hi, I have some question about translation process. Vmlinuz may going to translate it. * What is the CVS url for fedora 7 relnotes? * What group should translator have in the fedora account system? * How to begin translation, I cannot find RELEASE-NOTES on fedora i18n status page, so how can I "TAKE" it? I rememberred for fc6 relnotes it was here: http://i18n.redhat.com/cgi-bin/i18n-status?page=status&branch=HEAD&locale=z… * How to notify the others that I'm translating it? * When will POT file get ready, will there be any email notifications? * Do I need to modify "Makefile" and run "make xxxxx" to generate zh_CN.po as before? Thanks! -- bbbush ^_^
