Wow .. where did I miss all of that ! Where all that came from?
I did not know that there was someone active is translating that
module into arabic. Simply I wanted to contribute. I just wanted
to get it done.
You're right. Since there no mean on the status page to know there's a team
working on the module, you couldn't know.
Youcef, you could have simply sent me email and I would released
that for you. I am not sure that what you are doing here is
right. Claiming control and asking for kicking anyone else
out isn't acceptable.
I'll refer to my previous posts on the subject (about control etc).
Regardless of the my concerns on the translation already made,
I want to make this clear as Bernd cleared it. No one has the
right for more traslantion than others or demand to have
the trasnaltion done his way. I do have concerns about
the current translation, but I always belived something is
better than nothing. My attempt to help as I am arabic
speaking person is my right.
Of course it's you right. However, since there's already a team in place (OK,
that you weren't aware of), joining it, contributing and sharing your
concerns is the best way to do IMHO. Please, if you have concerns about the
current translation, we'll be more than happy to hear them.
With all my respect to you, I am surprised to the approach.
Simple email reaquesting relase would have done it.
That started by an answer to the annoucement, and generated a traffic I wasn't
expecting. So, yes, it was a mistake from my side. However, you should not
take that personally. I would have reacted the same if it was another name.
I am not sure what QA and keeping things organized on
any other site? I thought the system already in place
is the one the community should share and use to reach
what they want. So I am sorry your claims I can not
understand. So you have no problem for me to translate
but I have to join you guys @ arabeyes otherwise I should
keep my hands off because it is yours? I just can not
understand it.
You are free to translate without joining us (see Bernd's emails on the
subject). However, we'll be more than glad to have you in the team and hear
your thoughts and concerns.
I will release this module and you are more than welcome
to finish it.
Thanks.
As for your request to maintain all the arabic translation,
and as rules stated by Bernd, I myself object for someone
to control all the translation.
Well, I have been implied in translation for some time now, and I coordinate
Fedora and Mandrake translations, and experience shows that working in
organized teams is the best way to do it, and that's how other projects
organize their translations. In Fedora though, per the new system, you're
'free' to translate alone ;)
Again sorry if you've been offended, nothing personal. I would have reacted
the same in case there's was another name in the 'Translator' field, even if
retrospectively it sounds like it was a mistake.
