Strings being changed in anaconda, be prepared
by Ville-Pekka Vainio
Hi,
I was translating anaconda today and I noticed the messages in the pot
file in Transifex differ from the ones in the source code in anaconda's
git master.
It seems the pot file matches what's in anaconda's git tag
anaconda-11.5.0.38-1. The po(t) files will probably change when anaconda
developers do their next release, so be prepared ;)

Self introduction: Sveinn í Felli
by Sveinn í Felli
Full legal name: Sveinn Helgi Sverrisson
Alias (surname): Sveinn í Felli
* City, Country: Akureyri, Iceland
* FAS username: sveinki
* Language to translate: Icelandic
* Interests: GUI, usability, mobility, graphics (2D/3D)
* http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Sveinki
* Level of computer skills: Ex-sysadmin in a small company
(Win2k+RH8), a GUI-guy with CLI-disabilities,
(vector/raster) graphics is my karma ;-)
I joined some time ago, but forgot to send in an
introduction. I already have been sponsored for necessary
groups.
So far I've only concentrated on translating basic Fedora
files through Transifex, I have contributed and coordinated
translation efforts in various projects, mostly KDE but also
LP/Ubuntu, Gnome and Translationproject.
Much of my work has been around proofreading and making
translations a bit more homogeneous/unified, using the same
vocabulary sets in Gnome and KDE. For that kind of work it's
quite evident that web interfaces like Launchpad are totally
inadequate; SVN access permits to search for certain terms
through a bunch of .po files at once. I use mostly Kbabel
and its translation memory.
After 8 years on various linuxes using open source software
and trying to get other people to use such software, I
sometimes give lectures on OSS and occasionally give
companies/institutions advice on how to manage transition
towards open software (biased towards the user experience).
I can't say the demand has been overflowing in the past, but
these days it seems more people are starting to think about
such matters.

Self-Introduction: Hedda Peters
by Hedda Peters
Hello everyone,
my name is Hedda Peters, from Brisbane, Australia.
My FAS username is hedda, and I will be translating into my native
language German.
I am working as a Technical Translator for Red Hat APAC. After having
started translating various Red Hat / JBoss documentation, it is now
time for me to join the Fedora Community in order to contribute to the
F11 translation.
I am still fairly new at Red Hat (3 months) and obviously very new in
the Fedora Community (10 Minutes...), so any support would be much
appreciated.
I am looking forward to being part of the Fedora-Community, getting to
know some of the other contributing translators, and to getting started
on F11 as soon as possible!
If you have any questions about my person, my possible contribution or
anything else, don't hesitate to contact me.
Cheers,
Hedda
