Hi,
Finally after 6 month search I found a new partner for the Khmer
Translation Sprints. I had two weeks ago a meeting at OpenDevelopment
Cambodia about it, they requested a paper writing down what Fedora is
and what we will do at the sprint. Just to have it for their financial
backers. I submitted that paper 2 days later and they confirmed today
that they will host us, they also would host us monthly but after a
short survey with the most active translators we decided to do it just
bi-monthly for not overstrain the volunteers. The sad thing is they will
host us just on sunday, but the saturday was problematic anyway as it is
in Cambodia a normal working day.
I was during ICT Camp back in December approached to start with
translation to kuy, I have spoken with Praveen about it, so we will
start with it.
* Therefore this language must be added to zanata, set me to the
coordinator, I will handle this like khmer to. Its better I doing it its
just administrative work anyway. Language code for it is kdt. I added it
to
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/L10N_Teams
so can I have it until 5th of May thats when the Sprint will happen
* Speaking about this teams list, as we had a few days here a discussion
on this, we should clean up the joining process! I dont see any good in
having just a few sponsors, I think the coordinators are the right
people to sponsoring.
* Migrating to weblate is there still interest? I have as I would find
it nice to integrate badges for an amount of strings. There is a
background why I want to have it. I working currently with the Ministry
for Education, Youth and Sports on a initiative to increase the
contributions of Cambodians to FOSS, translation is one of the main
starting points and from ministry side the reason why this initiative is
done as they want to increase the usage of foss in their use but are
bound by another order to use only software available in khmer. The idea
is currently to initiate a contest with the help of a badges system,
encourage the people to do things. There will be physical prizes awarded
if we are enabled to award badges in this system via API to it would be
helpful for the translation process here.
* stage of Fedora in khmer, we made good progress in the translating
Fedora. We concentrated during the last sprint on translating the web
pages, to get people informed about Fedora which has from our
perspective the higher priority. We will finish the translation during
the next sprint and starting to complete ABRT/Anaconda and Co. There is
one negative point currently you can use workstation in khmer just not
install it or use our own apps. But the stage of GNOMEs translation to
khmer is declining, reason for it is the inactivity of the last
remaining translator on GNOMEs side. I have found somebody who is
willing to give this team a reboot. So question is does somebody know
whom I have to pin in GNOME to swap the coordinator? If I could fix this
until 5th the candidate could start working with me on it during the
next sprint.
so I hope I find some help to all my things
