April 2017 - trans - Fedora Mailing-Lists

by Alex Eng

Hi guys, As part of our plan to improve Zanata translation platform, it is important for us to constantly collect feedback from users to understand problems and needs. It would be appreciated if you guys can spent few minutes to complete the survey https://drive.google.com/open?id=18ZDHqOsHiSfMiydtLe8lJ4DBqj8uK _QeToazKrqdJGI -- ALEX ENG SENIOR SOFTWARE ENGINEER, team lead Red Hat Asia-Pacific Pty Ltd <https://www.redhat.com/> Level 1, 193 North Quay Brisbane 4000 aeng(a)redhat.com M: +61423353457 IM: aeng <https://red.ht/sig>

Making our process simpler for new contributors

by Jean-Baptiste

Dear translator coordinator, it's been a long time now that I feel like our joining process is too complex for newcomers. Current process says: * Create a Fedora account (FAS) * Subscribe to the mailing lists & introduce yourself * Login to Zanata with your FAS account * Find your language team and join in It also suggest to create a personal page at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Username which requires to be sponsored in cvsl10n (there a missing step in our documentation). Two issues: 1. Many users don't know where is the appropriate mailing list. + Some mailing lists have a manual validation + Some mailing lists are private => the potential contributor starts with administrative tasks and sometime dead-ends (joining a private mailing list isn't easy...) 2. Most of our contributors are not par of cvsl10n, many members of cvsl10n are not in Zanata. => new user can't use wiki and some other features, so they can't contribute directly our L10N global/team documentation even for a typo. To help fixing 1st issue, I suggest only to ask the user to go on fedora.zanata.org and join the team he wants => if he don't have a FAS account, the "Sign Up" buttons lead to FAS account creation => the coordinator will receive an automatic email and will welcome the user, inviting him to introduce himself by including the relevant mailing lists. About mailing list, I suggest a new recommendation: keep the mailing lists open to direct registration and public. We are an open organization, newcomers should be able to easily join us, read past conversation and everyone should be able to link a conversation to someone else. To help fixing 2nd issue, I suggest to do an automatic mechanism to detect new users in Zanata every day/week/month and mass adding them. => We'll only need a few sponsors instead of spamming the 45 current sponsors and 8 admins. => we add a little warning about wiki edition to tell to wait for this "automatic" group addition. If someone has an issue or want quick addition, we still have l10n administrators, an email on trans@ will do the job. The only thing we need is an export of all Zanata users. Here is my request: https://zanata.atlassian.net/browse/ZNTA-1915 Note about FAS groups: we currently have cvsl10n, l10n-admin, l10n-commits, l10n-editor. I'll ask infra team to merge them into one single group: "l10n". For information: we had public confirmation that the others are no longer used anymore. thanks for your feedback on these questions, we'll do these action unless any issues are raised (we'll also discuss this in next meeting). -- Jean-Baptiste Holcroft

Work in progress - images for L10N roles

by Jean-Baptiste

Dear translator teams, last year, I suggested a few improvements in our wiki roles to have clear content for each of these: * Translator, * Team coordinator, * Localization administrator. In this discussion, I offered to ask the design team for a few images to illustrate the roles (mailing list discussion [0]) After a very long delay (mostly on my side), we now have a few images to discuss about. It's only three little images for the wiki, it may change a lot until final result, but you may want to come and discuss it [1]. On the admin image, the design team made a draft including some language/locale codes. The idea is good, but I think we should be impartial about how to select them, unless someone think it is unfair, I suggest to use the current status for the "priority packages" (from 1st to 12th) : pl, es, cs, fr, sv, uk, pt-BR, it, ca, zh-CN, de, nl. We should be able to change it someday if needed. have a good day, [0] https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/trans@lists.fedoraproject.o...

Doubts about Audacity translation

by Sylvia Sánchez

Hello everyone! I'm translating some stuff related to music editing, and I found two things that brought me doubts. First that it says "...this shows the nudge pane, part of transport." Transport of what? Second, my translation returns an error about missing GUI tags but as far as I can see, all tags are there, so any suggestions? Specifically, I'm translating this document: https://fedora.zanata.org/project/view/musicians-guide?dswid=1960 I attach a screenshot to show how it looks like the text, so maybe someone can figure out where is the problem. Cheers & thanks, Silvia
