How to update f10 branch?
by Geert Warrink 17 Nov '08

17 Nov '08

With the recent introduction of a f10 branch for the release notes, I wonder how to update po files in the f10 branch using Transifex. I only found a way to update the master branch. Geert Warrink

POT/PO update - DO NOT PANIC
by Paul W. Frields 15 Nov '08

15 Nov '08

When I added entries to the colophon, it introduced changes into the POT and PO files. This is expected, and nothing to worry about. Translators, do not worry just because your module display now looks incomplete (or more incomplete). The changes were only names for the colophon section and therefore translation is not vital for the official F10 release. -- Paul W.

Heh, this was not on my mind when I thought of the wording, but whatever floats people's boats.... Your point about translation is excellent. For non-English speakers, the meaning of "Fire it up" as intended is similar to "start the engines," and in this case the engine is a nuclear furnace of software freedom! :-) So something that captures that aspect is probably the right way to go for translation. -- Paul W.

No Finnish translation of Release Notes this time - LINGUAS change
by Ville-Pekka Vainio 14 Nov '08

14 Nov '08

Hi all, I have just commented out fi from the LINGUAS file in release-notes git. From F7 to F9 I did the release notes translations by myself, but for F10 I just didn't have the time to do all that work. I wasn't able to get any others from the Finnish community to do the translations either, which wasn't really that surprising since translating about a thousand messages is quite an effort and there's only a few of us interested in translations anyway. As a result, fi.po is currently 13% translated, it's probably not worth publishing at all. The readmes and about-fedora are (almost) completely translated, those could be published. I hope we'll be able to provide release-notes translations again for F11 :) -- Ville-Pekka Vainio

RFC: Thoughts and evaluations on FLSCo
by Dimitris Glezos 14 Nov '08

14 Nov '08

Hi all. With the elections for FLSCo coming soon, I think it's a good time to take a step back and see how our experiment for a SCo has done so far. We started with a simple goal: be able to speak on behalf of the Translation Project, having the stamp of approval of the community itself. That was mainly my POV. Being part of this group, I feel much more comfortable participating in the Release meetings and answering questions like "How does FLP feel about slipping one week?" etc. My feeling is that FLSCo shouldn't replace the community-way of taking decisions. We have FLP meetings and not FLSCo meetings, and important issues discussed there are usually redirected to the list for reaching a consensus before going forward. I'd like to know how you feel about our work so far. What did we do right and where can we improve? Has a change happened, and if yes, why where is it important in terms of the L10n architecture in Fedora? -δ -- 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."

Fedora 10 Website Translation
by Ricky Zhou 13 Nov '08

13 Nov '08

Hi! Sorry I was late getting the strings ready - these last two weeks were really crazy. Anyway, we're going try to do things a bit differently this time around - the Fedora 10 website is currently in the fedora-web.test repo (which has already been added to Transifex). Almost all strings should be updated for F10 now ("Fedora 9. Make waves." is still in the POT right now, I'm emailing the marketing list to find out what the new line will be). For any URLs that were included in the POT, try to make them point to the translated version of the document, if one is available. Sorry again for the lateness - hopefully we can still get the website well-translated in time for F10. Let me know if there are any questions/issues. Transifex module: https://translate.fedoraproject.org/submit/module/fedora-web_test PO files: http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/fedora-web.test/?p=fedora-web.test.git;a=tr… Thanks a lot, Ricky

Contributors (Localization)!
by Ankit Patel 12 Nov '08

12 Nov '08

Hi, There are number of languages <http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/> increased in terms of translations of release notes for Fedora 10 compared to previous Fedora releases. When are we going to update the contributors (Translation) <http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/f10preview/en_US/Legal_Stuff_an…> list? It would be better if contributors list gets updated as soon as possible, since tomorrow release-notes will be freezed along with translations I think... Thanks! -- Regards, Ankit Patel http://www.indianoss.org/
