Proposal: Fedora G11N Steering Committee
by Pravin Satpute 26 Jun '20

26 Jun '20

Hi All, I am sure, most of the people working with Fedora I18N, L10N from 5-6 year must be aware regarding Fedora L10N Steering Committee. [1] As far as i know this committee was active around 2009 and very effective. During Fedora G11N activity day discussions, we again felt there is need for some kind of official committee to drive Fedora Globalization activities. Fedora is growing faster with number of different domains and G11N also need to adapt those changes quickly to remain on the track. For this purpose and in line with [1], we were thinking of Fedora Globalization steering committee. I have created initial proposal for it. [2] Its open for feedback, please feel free to share other active members, discuss in your respective language groups. This is just initial proposal and i am sure, we can improve and make it more effective with active participation. Regards, Pravin Satpute 1. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/L10N_Steering_Committee?rd=L10N/SteeringComm… 2. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_G11N_Steering_Committee_Proposal _______________________________________________ g11n mailing list g11n(a)lists.fedoraproject.org http://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/g11n@lists.fedoraproject.org

Becoming translator guide - update or change of the process request
by Zoltan Hoppar 30 Aug '16

30 Aug '16

Hi, I would like to get permission to the inclusion of the cvsl10n approval per region as we do at ambassadors. Currently approving translators are just thrown in to the waiting line, and no plus reminder to the group requests in FAS to do the https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/L10N/Guide#Becoming_a_Fedora_Translator guide or get reject by automatically after time. Or it would be a good idea to switch to invitational mode, and then we can include who done the pre-written things. Opinions? Zoltan PS: It would be a good idea to split documentation and add l10n, i18n, m17n, and others? -- PGP: 06853DF7

Lets gear up again for Fedora 25 Translation sprint
by pravin.d.s＠gmail.com 29 Aug '16

29 Aug '16

Hi All, It has been busy period for most of us including flock, coming back from flock and completing pending work. We are lucky enough to have one week slip and now Software Translation Deadline is 13th Sept 2016. [1] We have 1 week for planning and 1 week for execution. If there is no objection i think with earlier success we should plan for Fedora 25 translation sprint again. For reference Fedora 24 plan is here. [2] For Fedora 25, most important thing is identifying important packages. Existing list is here [3] We need small group to update this list. [I am not sure about Website at this moment] From Fedora 24 sprint, we are now bit more experienced regarding other plannings item and i think it should be straight forward, i hope same members will participate again and new members are always welcome :) Thanks, Pravin Satpute 1. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/25/Schedule 2. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/G11N/vFAD_Translation 3. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/L10N_GUI

Wiki usage - tiny request
by Jean-Baptiste 29 Aug '16

29 Aug '16

Dear globalization, translation and internationalization teams, just a kind remember : when you are using wiki and want to link to an other wiki page, please use wiki links and not full URL. You just have to write your link like this : [[My wiki page]] For more information about how to do it : https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Link For example there is 4 "bad" links on "I18N" page (2 on "L10N" page) => https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Lohit_fonts => should be [[Lohit fonts]] Why is it important ? It gives the possibility to know every pages related to "Lohit fonts", so if we want to rename it, merge it with another page or delete it, we can make sure we do not create broken links. More details on features : https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Link#Miscellaneous According to the tool, our wiki exists since 16:24, 24 May 2008, so there is a lot of old stuff to manage ! Thanks for your understanding and help ! NB : 1. In a perfect world, a bot would do the cleanup, but I got lost in all the mediawiki tools and stuff and haven't found one, if anyone knows one, let me know by private message. 2. You cannot edit anymore ? Search "cvsl10n" group in FAS (https://admin.fedoraproject.org/accounts) join it, and ask your language coordinator to sponsor you

Fedora 25 - Software String Freeze
by Jean-Baptiste 15 Aug '16

15 Aug '16

Dear translation teams, according to [Fedora 25 schedule], we reached "Software String Freeze" on august 9th. What to translate ? Packages that follow Fedora release cycle : Main projects : https://fedora.zanata.org/version-group/view/main Need priority list ? https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/L10N_GUI Is there a time limit ? The same schedule says "Software Translation Deadline" is 2016-09-06 When can I see it live ? It should arrive in beta release. What can I do if my language is already awesomely well translated ? (congratulation to Spanish team who is 100%!) Search untranslated strings that should be, test the translation in real world use case, search a useful software witch is untranslated, etc. Or just go help upstream, Gnome String Freeze is tomorrow : https://l10n.gnome.org/languages/ Anything else ? Websites, some strings are added/removed from time to time, remember to go and have a look, but there is no schedule as it is automatically published. Documentation, I personally advice not to translate it until docs team find the way to automatically publish content with his new system Pintail (they said a blog post should arrive soon on community blog). Please note this is a team decision and only my personal point of view. Have fun! [Fedora 25 schedule] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/25/Schedule?rd=Schedule -- Jean-Baptiste Holcroft

by Bhagyashree Padalkar 15 Aug '16

15 Aug '16

Hi, I am Bee. My Fedora wiki page is : https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Bee2502 . You can find me in IRC , mostly in #fedora-commops as bee2502. Till now, I have mostly contributed to Community Operations team on metrics related tasks. After attending the localization workshop in flock, I am have become interested in translating to Marathi and Hindi. I am a native Marathi speaker and have studied Hindi in school. I have sent a request to those respective groups in Zanata. During the flock workshop, there was also a discussion about zanata related metrics. I am also interested in contributing to these metrics and I was hoping someone could help me get started. Cheers, Bee

Hi everyone! I've been translating a radio amateur programme and I see the file I just finished translating as %68,8 translated. But AFAIK is %100, I see no spare lines without translation. So what am I doing wrong? How can I fix it? Cheers and thanks, Sylvia

Localization vocable
by Jean-Baptiste 12 Aug '16

12 Aug '16

Dear translator teams, I have a tiny word issue with roles in localization, we currently have a mix-up of words. After the little email discussion with Noriko and conversations at Flock, I feel like a general consensus already exists, but I prefer to write it here. TL;DR; For a L10N Team, we currently have different roles about the person who manage it : sponsor, maintainer, lead and coordinator. I request the right to use "coordinator" as language on all wiki pages. Please react here if you strongly disagree. If there is disagreement, feel free the react for or against the proposal. End : 31/08/2016 Some definition : http://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/sponsor http://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/coordinator http://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/maintain http://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/leader When reading the definitions, the coordinator is the most logical word to use to me. Here is my understanding of his roles : * helping access management (groups approval and introduction) * explain Fedora process and send relevant information to the language team * being a privileged contact for newcomers * answer questions and help community to have a continual improvement process (includes reaching consensus and help problem solving) By the way, to make a full explanation, here is the role I see for a language team : helping to have the best end-user "language" experience. Please note this is not Fedora software focused but Fedora product focused, it means we sometimes/often improve upstream project. The translation priority is defined per team, but a global priority lists already exists for fedora packages. thanks for your time, -- Jean-Baptiste Holcroft

Starting translations
by Sylvia Sánchez 10 Aug '16

10 Aug '16

Hello all, I can translate now because I have my Zanata account approved to translate for the Spanish Team. But I'm still waiting for approval in the Spanish Translation Team mailing list. Can I start translating straight away or should I do something else? Who decides what I'm going to translate? Cheers, thanks, Sylvia

Two people became the translators(reviewer) in zh_CN team without coordinator's approve
by Tiansworld 09 Aug '16

09 Aug '16

Hello everyone, I found out that two people had been in zh_CN L10n team on Zanata without the coordinator's action. I thought that only the coordinator can make this action. ==== One of them was mentioned here[1]. The reason that I didn't approve their request are: 1. They didn't make self-introduction on both trans and trans-zh_CN mailing lists. 2. I tried to search in both archives for their self-introduction in case of they might introduces themselves before, but I found nothing. 3. They didn't reply to me about this, then I decided to wait. But now he is a translator and reviewer of zh_CN translation team. The other of them is more active, I know he is a developer of Zanata. Neither does he is a member of trans-zh_cn mailing list, nor does he tried to subscribe the list and made self introduction on both of the lists, now he is a member of zh_CN translation team on Zanata too. ==== I am curious how did they succeed to do this without the coordinator's action? Would they mind to share their procedure to us? In my opinion, this may happens in four possible ways: 1. My Zanata account is compromised, and someone used my privilege to approve this. 2. The Zanata system may have flaws, and someone used it. 3. A super coordinator/administrator exists in Zanata, and he/she manually did it. 4. Aliens did it. So dear all team coordinators, please check your team's member list to see if someone joined in without your approve. If none, then the 2nd is not the possible way. For the 1st possibility, I hope that the zanata team can help me to check my account activity, login IP addresses, time or what else, to make sure that my account is safe. For the 3rd possibility, the Zanata team must know the answer. So please tell us. And for the 4th possibility, I don't know what to do. ==== This kind of behaviour is unfair to other contributors, cause they all followed the rules and spent their time to introduce themselves to us. This kind of behaviour is breaking the community rules. We welcome contributors, but they should obey the community rules and follow the necessary procedures[2]. By the way, the first one I mentioned above is one of the owner of trans-zh_cn mailing list, so maybe I am wrong, maybe the originals have some prerogative. But none of them replied to me here to explain something[1]. So I hope you guys can help me to find out what have happened. Many thanks.

New project on Zanata: appstream-glib
by Richard Hughes 09 Aug '16

09 Aug '16

Hey all, After a lot of nagging from Jean-Baptiste and the other translators I've moved appstream-glib from Transifex to Zanata. I don't know if I need to announce anything before the translations start rolling in, but if I do here's the link: https://fedora.zanata.org/project/view/appstream-glib If there are any ambiguous or strange strings please let me know and I can add translator comments or fix them up and re-upload the pot file. I also assume it's okay to use the Fedora instance for a freedesktop (shared with all distros) project; appstream-glib is certainly something we use heavily in Fedora none-the-less. If I've done everything correctly please let me know; I can migrate some of my other projects (PackageKit, fwupd, colorhug-client to name a few) away from transifex too in that case. Feel free to shout if I've done anything wrong, thanks! Richard

I have a bug reported about typo in translation of manual partitioning in anaconda: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1361757 But I am unable to locate the component where the string (SVazek = Volume?) is https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0BzwJJXDpBxmMUURlUTI3YkJOajQ&usp=sha… I tried anaconda, blivet and blivet-gui. Any ideas where those strings belong? Thanks Adam Pribyl
