by Pete Travis
Hello Translators,
I've just pushed POTs for the Fedora 20 Release Notes to Transifex. Sorry
for doing it so late.
Happy translating,

a couple of issues in anaconda for Fedora 20
by Domingo Becker
There are a few strings used in partitioning in anaconda, which are in
blivet project in transifex [1]. I reported some missing strings in
bug 1015919 [2] and I don't know if there are other modules like
blivet being used by anaconda for Fedora 20. You should translate that
project for anaconda too.
There are also some bitmaps shown like slides during installation,
which I'm tracking with bug 1013280 [3]. If there are not svg sources
for these images, the Spanish team will provide the translated bitmaps
in that bug. If there are svg sources, maybe someone would be able to
automate the translation process for all teams, creating a small pot
file for the bitmaps. I don't know if we will make it on time with
this issue. We are waiting for an answer from anaconda maintainers.

Self-Introduction: Cristian Ciupitu, Romanian
by Cristian Ciupitu
Name: Cristian Ciupitu
Location: Bucharest, Romania
Login: ciupicri
Language: Romanian
Profession or Student status: trained IT monkey :-)
About Me:
I'm a mix between a software developer and system administrator (for
more details please see my CV [1]).
My Transifex account is https://www.transifex.com/accounts/profile/ciupicri
Me and the Fedora Project:
I've been a Fedora user since its beginning and before that a Red Hat
Linux user. Now I'd like to give something back. I've already reported
quite a few bugs and I even fixed a couple of them. I'm also a packager.
I'm joining this group because I wanted to translate into Romanian the
phrase "Upcoming Beta Release is planned for" from the prerelease
download page [2]. Most of the page is already translated and it's a
shame to have that tiny bit in English.
That's all I want to do at least for now, but it seems that the process
is kind of long and complicated. I would have preferred to just submit a
translation suggestion on Transifex (or a similar system) and let the
team approve, reject or improve it.

Self-Introduction: Johannes Lövhall - Swedish
by Johannes Lövhall
Greetings.
As it says in the title I'm Johannes, though I most often identify
myself as "Klap" (which of course is my FAS). From Sweden and therefore
fluent in the native language. I don't doubt the team of Swedish
translators need some more people joining in, so here I am.
I'm currently an Electrical Engineering student. Don't have any real
experiences at all from anything, really. Been studying all my life and
hasn't got the chance to "do" anything as of yet.
Found this translation project and thought it would be a nice thing do
besides my studies, so I haven't explored the rest of what Fedora offers
(except for the O/S which I've been running for the last couple of years).
Last of all, here's my GPG fingerprint and what not:
-------------------------------
pub 4096R/0910CA5E 2013-09-14 [expires: 2014-03-13]
Key fingerprint = B2C0 DD55 D878 CA05 43BD 0A61 80E4 4EAA 0910 CA5E

See you around,
Johannes Lövhall

Hi,
Sure the PO file are very convenient for translation. And sure, there are
a plenty of scripts to extract the text from SVG (as it is pure XML).
Examples:
1. po4a can extract the text.
2. Scripts from Inkscape docs can do this:
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~inkscape.dev/inkscape-docs/trunk/files/head:...
There will be no problems if the banner sizes can be variable (more or
less like Fedora countdown pictures).
The problem is that the banners are relatively small and of strict sizes
so the arbitrary translation can fit them only after some tweaks with text
block and font sizes.
Just my 2 cents.
BTW, what is the appropriate format to submit localized images to Bugzilla
report (SVG, PNG, JPEG)? Make-Fedora-Better.svg will likely to be changed,
where is our Heisenbug? ;)
Thanks in advance for your answers.
Best regards,
Yuri

cvsl10n FAS group
by Gianluca Sforna
Formerly, the cvsl10n group was used to track people in the
translations teams but with the move to transifex I was told this is
basically obsolete.
However, I realized if we (italian team) stop using it and just add
people to the transifex team these new contributors will not have any
FAS group attached to them and as a result will not count as
contributors. Hence, they will not have a @fedoraproject.org alias,
nor be able to vote in elections, and other "benefits"
So, what is the correct way to deal with FAS on our l10n teams?
Regards
Gianluca
(Italian team coordinator)

SETroubleshoot help
by Silvio
Hello everyone.
Someone can explain me this sentence:
"You must also change the default file context files on the system in
order to preserve them even on a full relabel."
I can't understand the phrase "the default file context files on the system"
Thanks.
