Hi all.
Is there a way one can get a .po file for a fedora package if he/she doesn't have a CVS account?
Other projects (like GNOME, KDE) allow people having anonymous CVS access to the po files (or at least they include a link to the .po file from the package's statistics page) and to submit a patch they have to contact the project's translation team. A feature like this is useful for translation bugfixing from people outside the project.

We have that too. You can get instructions or browse the repositories via Web below:

Oops!
That should have been: http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/
The other link may "evaporate" (redirect) at some point, so no point perpetuating it.

Paul, I did look at the cvs web frontend (darn, I should write about my searches in my questions in the first place) but did not find the po files there, only some make and spec files. Either I am missing something or I don't know what.
Check it out yourself, eg. for system-config-network:
* http://cvs.fedora.redhat.com/viewcvs/devel/system-config-network/ * http://cvs.fedora.redhat.com/viewcvs/rpms/system-config-network/devel/

Ah, that's because the source tarballs are all kept in a lookaside cache. Here's a quick step-by-step -- I think these are on the wiki somewhere:
$ cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.fedoraproject.org:/cvs/dist co system-config-network $ cd devel $ make prep # or 'make help' for some useful info
That will download the source and do the equivalent of 'rpmbuild -bp' for that package.

Thanks for the tip Paul.
Nevertheless, this is too much work for external contributors. Usually, they just need the pot & po files of all packages for a language.
Three suggestions then, in decreasing preference:
1. Allow anonymous access of the `translate` module from the CVS. 2. Include a link to the files in the i18n statistics page. 3. Produce a nightly public .tgz with the pot & po files for each language.
Are these too difficult to arrange?

There used to be this page, that unfortunately is not updated any more :-( :
