UPDATE: More translation time!

[Paul W. Frields]

Hello Translators,

   [ You're receiving this email personally because your
   email address was pulled from one of our PO files for
   the Fedora Core Release Notes.  A copy is sent to
   fedora-trans-list as well. ]

We understand that we piled a LOT of work on you guys for the FC6
Release Notes, with not very much time to do it.  And we feel bad about
it.  This was entirely due to process problems, and had *nothing* to do
with the great work you continue to do on a regular basis.  A lot of the
material entering the release notes came in on the wiki in the last week
or two, meaning not only did we get the POT out late, but it was full of
new strings in a lot of cases.

I'd like to specially recognize Francesco Tombolini, working on the
Italian translation.  Francesco actually finished his entire PO file
somehow, despite all the obstacles, so I wanted to single him out for
some special praise!

But we certainly can't expect everyone to get so much work done in such
a small time.  That's why we've secured MORE TIME for the release notes
translation.  We have a new deadline for PO delivery of:

	* * * 1200 UTC, Thu Oct 05 2006 * * *

That's another ~3.5 days!  In other words, we're trying to give you back
just about every bit of time we cut by being late. You can continue to
work on the existing POT in i18n.redhat.com/release-notes.  We have
changed nothing since it was delivered last week.

WHAT WE COULD USE FROM YOU:

(Other than the translation, of course!)  Just a quick reply to this
message.  Let us know if you think you can finish the remaining work in
that time.  If you don't think this is a good idea, you don't have to do
anything extra.  But if you want some extra time, and will use it,
please let us know as soon as you can!

We will be discussing an improved plan for the FC7 cycle.  Please join
us on fedora-docs-list(a)redhat.com and put in your ideas if possible.

Sorry, I did not include a proper link for getting involved.  I'm not an
expert on doing the translations themselves, so hopefully people here
can give you detailed instructions on what to do next.  You can find out
more here on the list or at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Translation .
You can probably also get help on the list in your native language, at
https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-trans-es .

Best wishes and cheers!

What great news.  Having translations for the Eastern Hemisphere, like
Russian, Simplified Chinese, Japanese, and Punjabi, are very important
for Fedora.  Thanks for your work, Andrew.

Hi!

On behalf of the European Portuguese team, our work here is done. The FC6 
Installation Guide and Release Notes are now fully translated and 
spellchecked.

As my co-editor (Pedro Morais - PedroMorais on Wiki) is on vacations, he won't 
be able to approve any of the Portuguese docs in the next few weeks.

What I'm asking here is if someone (from the PT-BR team, for example) is 
available to validate and approve the PT-PT translations for this release.

Lots of translations have been done for the Docs Project, they're all stated 
on the Publish Queue, on the Wiki, but almost none of them have been 
published yet and it's too bad if they can't manage to be present on FC6 
release.

Best regards

Thanks.  We'll do our best to get everything updated for FC6.  Right
now, just like you, we are busy doing the actual work to get documents
completed and ready for the push.  We'll likely do all the pushing
around the same time, the night before FC6 is released.
