Fedora Core 3 Release Notes translation
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

system-config-lvm - comment on "Stripe Size field"
by Josep Puigdemont
Hi,
We have a problem translating "stripe" in system-config-lvm, because the
comment on it makes us doubt:
#. ##TRANSLATOR: Striping writes data to multiple physical devices
#. ##concurrently, with the objective being redundance and/or speed
#: src/InputController.py:153
msgid "Stripe Size field"
msgstr ""
I know very little about LVM, but how does "stripe" provide redundance?
I am reading "stripe" as in RAID:
"A RAID 0 (also known as a striped set) splits data evenly across two or
more disks with no parity information for redundancy." (wikipedia)
and it looks like the comment ("the objective being redundance...")
contradicts a bit the concept in RAID.
Any hints? Is the comment wrong, or is it right and just the concept of
"striping" in LVM is different than that of RAID?
Thanks a lot!

Re: Translation of tar into danish
by Leon Ho
Hi Kim,
(cc'ing fedora-trans-list)
You can usually find this out by msgunfmt the .mo file and look at the header
of the po file. ie. By running
msgunfmt /usr/share/locale/da/LC_MESSAGES/tar.mo|less
Cheers,
Leon

Table mapping JISX208 to Unicode?
by David Wuertele
I'm looking for a table that will let me map any JISX208 character to
its UTF-8 (or any other Unicode encoding) equivalent. Does such a
table or algorithm exist?

Including recent external translations
by Lauri Nurmi
Hello,
this question is not exactly about translating Fedora-specific things,
but I guess this is not a bad place to ask.
As you may know, translations of many GNU programs and others are done
through the Translation Project
<http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/translation/>.
New versions of especially GNU programs are released very seldom, and
because of that, it may take a LONG time before a new translation gets
included in an official release of that particular piece of software.
Two years is not uncommon.
To speed up the adaptation of new translations, the creators of Linux
distributions *could*, at least, fetch the newest translations directly
from the Translation Project, and include them in the respective
software packages. I don't know if any distribution really does this,
and I'm pretty sure this also doesn't happen with Fedora?
While I don't expect this to become an automated process, is it worth
reporting a bug if I know a translation exists for a certain piece of
software, but it is not included in the official release (nor the
respective Fedora package) yet?
This is a thing that probably concerns many languages, not just the one
I am interested in, Finnish.

Firefox l10n
by dwayne＠translate.org.za
Since Firefox is a default Fedora application when are we going to see
upstream l10n available to FC users? The bugs seem to indicate a lack
of central FF l10n project. This has changed and all FF l10n is in CVS
for the official languages. Plus those that are released are listed.
We've been chatting on irc://irc.freenode.net/#pootle and it seems a
packager from Mandrake has created separate language RPMs for FF. Would
be nice if we could have a similar setup on FC.

standard way to use shortcuts in l10n
by Jamil Ahmed
Hello,
Is there any standard for using shortcuts while l10n-ing?
Should I put shorcuts in localize form? or keep same english short cut
separately in parenthesis?
like, for
msgid "_File"
Should I use,
msgstr "_xx"
or
msgstr "xx (_x)"
or
msgstr "xx (_F)" <--- this _F will be taken from the msgid's shorcut
xx will be written in my localized character.
Waiting for your valued reply!
Thanks,
`Jamil
