some issues in docs.fedoraproject.org
by Domingo Becker 08 Oct '09

08 Oct '09

The new docs.fp.o interface seems to be faster than the later one to reach an online book. But some translations seems to have got lost in the process of the move from the old interface. The books are: 1. Installation Guide for F11 http://docs.fedoraproject.org/install-guide/f11/es-ES/html-single/ 2. Installation quick start guide for F11 http://docs.fedoraproject.org/installation-quick-start-guide/f11/es-ES/html… The strings with no translations are some of the index and the common content. Remember that Fedora 11 is the current Fedora stable distribution, and the one I would use if I need linux in an enterprise. kind regards Domingo Becker (es)

Munzir, I still think that you should keep going with your role and try to get some contributors. I am not sure if you already know, I have relocated to Dubai in our new office. There few partners and Universities in the region want to contribute .. If you still interested I can try to gear up and get good number of people. What do you think?

How to proof-read or review s-c-*-docs translations?
by Ankit Patel 08 Oct '09

08 Oct '09

Hi, Though this is little late for Fedora 12 now, some of you may be still translating system-config-{date,samba,nfs,services,users}-docs packages. Just came across a query on the $subject. To review or proof-read software packages the process is pretty known I guess. - Download the PO files - Convert to MO files using "msgfmt -i PO_file -o MO_file" - Place the MO files to locale directories '/usr/share/locale/<locale_name>/LC_MESSAGES/' with appropriate naming - Run the application in your native language. That's it! However, to review or proof-read s-c-*-docs packages the process is bit different since the translations are picked up from translated xml files by the utility called yelp to view help messages. So, here goes the steps of file conversion & hence review: - Make sure you have "kdesdk" package group installed, which provides po2xml conversion utility - Download the PO files from transifex status page, for instance system-config-date-docs.ja.po - Translate or modify your PO file (when you are reviewing) - Grab the english XML file from git repo[1] OR from your locally installed one from "/usr/share/gnome/help/system-config-date/C/system-config-date.xml" - Convert your PO to xml using "po2xml system-config-date.xml system-config-date.master-docs.ja.po > system-config-date.ja.xml" - Place the converted xml file to "sudo cp system-config-date.ja.xml /usr/share/gnome/help/system-config-date/ja/system-config-date.xml" - And run system-config-date in your native language. When you click on "Help" will get you the modified translations. - That's it. In short, you need to convert PO to xml file that yelp understands and put it under right location. Thanks!

Release Notes errors 06-Oct
by John J. McDonough 07 Oct '09

07 Oct '09

I will be building the beta RPM this morning, so and updates you post after last night won't be included in the RPM. There are still errors in cs-CZ, zh-CN and zh-TW (as can be seen from the dates of the last successful build in http://fedora.is-sixsigma.com/F12beta/) All three languages have multiple errors. When I build overnight the build stops at the first error. This morning I have been manually building attempting to identify all the errors. Unfortunately, my fixes are temporary; if I push my changes they will only be overwritten by the next push from Transifex. All of the errors are missing semicolons from &PRODVER; and — I will continue to allow the cron job to run for a while so you can continue to see the final result, but I won't be reviewing the logs every morning. --McD

Fwd: Translator metrics in Damned Lies
by Rui Gouveia 06 Oct '09

06 Oct '09

Just wondering if this could be a good addition to Tx... Rui -------- Mensagem original -------- Assunto: Translator metrics in Damned Lies Data: Sun, 4 Oct 2009 21:52:04 -0300 De: Rodrigo Flores <mail(a)rodrigoflores.org> Para: GNOME Translation Project <gnome-i18n(a)gnome.org> Hi I've talked with Leonardo Fontenelle and he told me an idea to improve Damned Lies: some translator metrics. Sometimes is useful to see how many translations a translator have done or how many time the user is inactive. Maybe it can be useful when we promote translators to reviewers. What do you think about that ? -- "A critical section of code is like a bathroom. Only one person is allowed inside at once.

Fedora 12 install-guide screenshots
by Domingo Becker 05 Oct '09

05 Oct '09

The new option "autostep --autoscreenshot" in the kickstart file would probably make it ease to get the localized screenshots included in the Install Guide. Don't hesitate to ask translators to get those screenshots. For Fedora 11 Install Guide they are all in English. We can improve that. :-) kind regards Domingo Becker Spanish Translation Team
