Hi translators and coordinators!
I have some questions related with fedora-i18n...
1. I was wondering if there was any way to get only
pot files for translating because doing cvs -z9 co translate
takes too long with dial up connection.
You could try the following commands:
$ wget
http://carolina.mff.cuni.cz/~trmac/fedora-i18n/ta.html
(gets a language's html status page)
----
$ grep 'fedora/translate/.*pot' ta.html | \
sed 's!.*a href=".*fedora/translate/\([^"]*\)".*!\1!' >
/tmp/pot.names
(picks the pot file names and writes to /tmp/pot.names)
----
$ cvs co -c > modules.lst
(gets the modules in cvs)
---
$ for line in `cat /tmp/pot.names`
do
key=`echo $line|awk -F/ '{print $1}'`;
(echo -n `grep ^po_$key modules.lst |awk '{print $NF}'`;
echo $line|sed 's![^/]*!!')>> /tmp/cvs_pots.txt ;
done
(generates the correct path for pot files to do cvs co)
---
$ cvs -z6 co `egrep -v '(comps|users|proc)' /tmp/cvs_pots.txt` \
comps-po/comps.pot \
redhat-config-users/po/system-config-users.pot
redhat-config-proc/po/system-config-proc.pot
(the actual cvs check-out. whew!!)
2. Is there any plan to build status pages like Gnome
and KDE communities have? I know about
http://elvis.redhat.com/cgi-bin/i18n-status but
I am looking for the thing where we could download
po/pot files from the web.
As has already been answered, try:
http://carolina.mff.cuni.cz/~trmac/fedora-i18n/
3. Do we have an "add" permission with our cvs account?
I mean how do we add our very first translations?
I know that we can commit but not sure about adding.
Should we send them to Sarah Wang or other coordinator?
After copying the translated file as file as
<your-two-letter-langcode>.po
you could do:
$ cvs add <your-two-letter-langcode>.po
$ cvs commit <your-two-letter-langcode>.po
4. I am quoting:
from Hariraam Aathreya:

Is this correct? Which types of fonts are required?
Being an Azeri developer I can tell that our latin based
alphabet is supported by many commercial fonts
(MS fonts also) but the only TTF alternative in Open
Source world is "Mandrake Teams". Though other
font types are not a problem and all of them support
Azeri latin.
So, what are the real conditions to get into
release? Is there any documentation related this?
I am yet to find an answer to this question.
Searched the RedHat website. No luck.
Could anyone on the list help ?
hari.
Thanks for your time.
