翻译不要粗心 & 让别人擦屁股？
by Tiansworld
有些疑问：
我没搞清楚你把以下翻译去掉 Linux 有什么意义呢？ 只是为了更新一下 po 文件吗？
This is the latest version of the Fedora Linux operating system's
Desktop Edition. It's everything you need to try out Fedora — you don't
have to erase anything on your current system to try it out, and it
won't put your files at risk. Take Fedora for a test drive, and if you
like it, you can install Fedora directly to your hard drive straight
from the Live Media desktop if you like.

请问你的翻译跟旧翻译什么区别？
There's a CD/DVD burning tool in Fedora that makes it easy to create CDs
and DVDs when you insert a blank disc.

你已经很热心的参与到翻译中来了，但与其以这样的态度进行，倒不如不做。
别人其实也很“懒的”。

Why not translating pangram?
by Tommy He
My dear fellows,
Probably you're familiar with the famous phrase 'The quick brown fox
jumps over the lazy dog'. As a pangram[1] it seems to be a standard
typeface sample in any font viewer or configuration tool on any OS or
DE. I'm fine with its popularity. What always confuses me is that it
always remains the English form, never localized. I searched online,
but the seemingly all-known Internet failed to provide an reasonable
answer. Until recently I pick up the localization of fonts-tweak-tool,
which is a new font configuration tool formally introduced in coming
Fedora 18[2], this question haunted in my mind so hard that I have to
ask here.
Since the main purpose of pangram in font viewer is about the
typefaces of characters, it wouldn't be much useful if literally
translating 'quick brown fox' into another language. The ideal way I
can think is to find a pangram native to the target language. For
example, if I were using gnome-font-viewer to open a Chinese font(it
seems that the metadata of a font can tell what language this font is
intended for, but I'm not 100% sure), my concern is on how this font
looks on Chinese characters. The 'quick brown fox' only showing 26
alphabetical English characters just won't do. A Chinese pangram, if
exists, will provide more in this case. However, in practice, there's
a need to know how the 26 English alphabets look even in a non-English
font. So displaying the English and the localized pangrams side by
side would be more suitable.
All right. To put it simple, do you think it would be more helpful if:
a). for English font, display the "quick brown fox" pangram as sample.
b). for non-English font, display the "quick brown fox" AND the
pangram native to the language specified by the font metadata as
samples.
Obviously it requires both effort from developers and translators to
make it happen. I'm not sure if there's any technical difficulty in
fonts-tweak-tool thus CCed the main developer Akira. Also I'm writing
to you the translators of Fedora Project to seek your opinions and
expertise.
PS: There are quite a number of pangrams in numerous languages listed
on Wikipedia[3].
Regards,
Tommy He

F18 发行日志系统主机配置部分 Pretty 的翻译
by Tommy He
下面这段文字中的 Pretty 应该是有其他含义的：
2.3.2.4. Hostname configuration moved from /etc/sysconfig/network to
/etc/hostname
There are now three seperate classes of hostnames in use on a given
system. The pretty hostname is the high level hostname often presented
to users by their desktop environment or shell. The static hostname is
used by the kernel at boot, and is usually the system's fully
qualified domain name. A system may also have a transient hostname
assigned by a dhcp server. hostnamectl is provided for administering
these hostnames:
当前的简中翻译将 Pretty 直译为 漂亮：
目前在给定系统中存在有三种独立的主机名。漂亮 主机名级别最高，通常根据用
户的桌面环境和 shell 呈现给用户。静态主机名在引导时由内核使用，而且它一
般是系统的完全合格域名。系统中可能还有临时主机名，它由 dhcp 服务器分配。
hostnamectl 用于这些主机名的管理：
个人觉得这里直译的读起来上下文相当怪异，建议采取意译的方式处理。具体用什么，需要诸位朋友集思广益。
我先来提一个吧：本机名。
理由：这个 pretty 主机名主要是由桌面环境使用，估计选择用这种方式查阅主机名的用户只是想知道计算机叫啥而已，于是参照其他桌面环境对于主机名的描述。不过又要跟主机名做些区分。
