February 2005 - trans - Fedora Mailing-Lists

by Andrew Martynov

Hello, Sarah and Jeremy! We has discussed in June question about translation of FC3 Release Notes. I understand Red Hat team should be very careful with this document but end user is waiting good translation of whole product. I suppose translation teams could provide good enough "unofficial" translation of Release Notes. I see some points to discuss: - remark of "unofficial" status of translation in title - copyright notice of original document and translation - file format and encoding ( plain text and html in unicode UTF-8 ) Please find attached translation of Release Notes for FC3 test2 as sample. Best regards, Andrew Martynov Russian translation team

default:LTR

by dwayne＠translate.org.za

Hi, I'm going through anaconda l10n and I assume that this message is a configuration setting for LTR vs RTL languages? In anaconda.pot #: ../gui.py:845 msgid "default:LTR" msgstr "" If it is it would be nice if this was commented in the PO file. This bug relates https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=128220 but did not understand the issue from the l10n point of view. Can I reopen this bug? Also if this is indeed a configuration setting then most languages are wrong. I assume that we default to LTR. But in Arabic this has been translated as: ar.po:#: ../gui.py:845 ar.po-msgid "default:LTR" ar.po-msgstr "افتراض: من اليسار إلى اليمين (LTR)" ar.po- When I guess it should be "default:RTL" -- Dwayne Bailey <dwayne(a)translate.org.za> Translate.org.za +27-12-460-1095 (w) +27-83-443-7114 (cell)

Enabling a language (Zulu, Afrikaans, Northern Sotho)

by dwayne＠translate.org.za

I've completed Afrikaans and Northern Sotho essential packages. NSO is in CVS, AF I'm just waiting for CVS enabling, Zulu (ZU) has been in for a while but I'm just checking everything again. What other things do I need to do to enable these languages? o Both are now in gdm2 list of languages for Gnome 2.8. I had problems with Zulu in that area before. http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/gdm2/gui/gdmlanguages.c?r1=1.41&r2=1.42 http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/gdm2/config/locale.alias?r1=1.38&r2=1.39 o All have locale files either in glibc or in bugzilla for glibc http://sources.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=486 Not sure how to get this applied :( o Patches against XFree and Xorg have been submitted to enable those locales. XFree is applied Xorg is not. https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2268 Any ideas about how to get this applied? o Both are in Mozilla and both are in OOo. Fedora OOo 1.1.3 already contains Afrikaans and Northern Sotho. I have not checked Mozilla but we will have Firefox in a few days for Afrikaans. Anything special needed here from the Fedora side? Anything else specific to Fedora? Magic, chants, peoples buttons to push, etc :). Thanks -- Dwayne Bailey <dwayne(a)translate.org.za> Translate.org.za +27-12-460-1095 (w) +27-83-443-7114 (cell)

rhgb LINGUAS file

by dwayne＠translate.org.za

Hi, I am unable to add nso (Northern Sotho) to the LINGUAS file in rhgb/po. I would guess this file needs modification. Could someone please add it or tell me the correct way to go about it. Thanks. -- Dwayne Bailey <dwayne(a)translate.org.za> Translate.org.za +27-12-460-1095 (w) +27-83-443-7114 (cell)

[Fwd: [Fedora-trans-ja] redhat-backgrounds]

by Noriko Mizumoto

Hi, I have got a question from ja trans team regarding new(?) module name of redhat-backgrounds, and checked the status page. There are actually four module names with redhat-*. redhat-artwork, redhat-backgrounds, redhat-config-cluster, redhat-menus. While redhat-config-cluster has the path system-config-cluster, others have the path redhat-*. Do we keep those redhat-* names/paths for Fedora? Regards, Noriko -- Fedora-trans-ja mailing list Fedora-trans-ja(a)redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-trans-ja

consistency between .po and .pot files

by Sarah Wang

Hi, As many of you mentioned before that the total number of entries varied a great deal across all locales. The reason was the po files were not kept consistent against corresponding pot files. I'm trying to find a solution to maintain the consistency. Here are some options: a. Let each package maintainer perform "msgmerge" whenever pot file is updated b. I set up a cron job to "msgmerge" all locales and all packages (nightly or weekly) c. Each locale coordinator to ensure all packages in that locale is consistent and up to date d. Each translator to perform "msgmerge" prior translation Personally I prefer option b, because I can ensure all updates will be performed. The downside of it is the possible file conflicts. However, if we agree upon a specific time to perform this update, and we all try to avoid this time to commit works, most conflicts can be avoided. Please let me know which option you prefer. Thanks, Sarah
