Proposal: Fedora G11N Steering Committee
by Pravin Satpute 26 Jun '20

26 Jun '20

Hi All, I am sure, most of the people working with Fedora I18N, L10N from 5-6 year must be aware regarding Fedora L10N Steering Committee. [1] As far as i know this committee was active around 2009 and very effective. During Fedora G11N activity day discussions, we again felt there is need for some kind of official committee to drive Fedora Globalization activities. Fedora is growing faster with number of different domains and G11N also need to adapt those changes quickly to remain on the track. For this purpose and in line with [1], we were thinking of Fedora Globalization steering committee. I have created initial proposal for it. [2] Its open for feedback, please feel free to share other active members, discuss in your respective language groups. This is just initial proposal and i am sure, we can improve and make it more effective with active participation. Regards, Pravin Satpute 1. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/L10N_Steering_Committee?rd=L10N/SteeringComm… 2. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_G11N_Steering_Committee_Proposal _______________________________________________ g11n mailing list g11n(a)lists.fedoraproject.org http://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/g11n@lists.fedoraproject.org

Fedora 29 I18N bug triage
by bhushan barve 30 Aug '19

30 Aug '19

Hi all, The F29 I18N bug triage activity has been planned. Following is the wiki page - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/F29_I18N_Bug_Triage There are total 41 bugs for I18N as of now, with 8 slots containing 5 bugs each (last slot contains 6). All you have to do is, pick a slot of your choice and check the bugs in it against latest available Fedora release. If it is reproducible, change the release version accordingly and note your observations in comments. If not, then you can mark it as closed and just strikeout the bug id on the wiki page. The planned dates for this triage activity are September 02-13, 2019. So it will be great, if you can contribute here. Feel free to reply back in case of any queries. :) Regards, Bhushan P.S. - No issues if you want to work on individual bug/s, instead of slots. Go ahead. :)

Self-Introduction: Miguel Santana
by Miguel Santana 28 Aug '19

28 Aug '19

Name: Miguel Santana Location: Lisbon, Portugal Login: miguelsantana Language: Portuguese (Portugal) About: My name's Miguel Santana, I am 20 years old and a finalist bachelor's computer science student at Faculty of Sciences in the University of Lisbon. Me and the Fedora Project: Since my first year of college I've been using Linux operating systems to have my assignments done, because it was mandatory to use Linux. But, I started researching what was available online and found, among others, Fedora. Fedora has been the one who catch my eye because of it's richness and recency. Since last year I am trying to use Fedora fulltime on my laptop but I've noticed some translations flaws and I would like to make my contribution to make it better. Again, it's a pleasure to be part of the Fedora team. I've been trying to reach out to the Portuguese team and I can't seem to get any response. Is the team still active?

Weblate and Machine Translation
by Benson Muite 27 Aug '19

27 Aug '19

The Fedora Machine Learning SIG has a proposal on tutorials on how to deploy machine learning applications. One area of application of machine learning is translation. Following are some open source Machine translation engines: http://opennmt.net/, https://github.com/facebookresearch/UnsupervisedMT, https://github.com/moses-smt/mosesdecoder, http://thumt.thunlp.org/, https://marian-nmt.github.io/ Are there preferences on which of these is of most interest or if there are others that should be considered? It is likely the case that the best settings and translation engines will be language dependent. Interfacing these to Weblate will help improve the translation speed and reduce redundant work. An introduction to machine learning powered translation can be found here: https://www.paddlepaddle.org.cn/documentation/docs/en/1.4/beginners_guide/b…

Name: Shehroz Location: Chakwal, Pakistan Login: shehroz Language: Urdu About: (I am Shehroz from Chakwal, Pakistan, previously served as volunteer translator for United Nations in Pakistan, i strongly believe in creating shared value, for the project which i work on, it means that whatever input i give in it, that will mutually benefit the project and the end user/audience for current and future development, which will enable usability / general fit across multiple scenarios/platforms for whatever purpose it may be needed.) Me and the Fedora Project: (I really admire the spirit of FOSS, i have been an user of *nix likes since my school days, since then i have noticed that availability of quality software in my native language "Urdu" was quite rare, and i strongly believed in the principle that technology should be accessible to everyone without language barrier, and and must not be kept in a safe house, everyone should have right to participate and make an input to this to further improve that thing for future. My plan is to contribute to Fedora Project by offering my service as a translator of Urdu.)

by Jean-Baptiste Holcroft 22 Aug '19

22 Aug '19

Dear translation teams, Software translation deadline is next Tuesday: 2019-08-27 It's the right time to focus on projects in this group: https://fedora.zanata.org/version-group/view/main Language at 100%: uk Languages >95%: nl, sv, fr, es Languages >80%: pt-BR, pl, cs, ru, ja, de, hu, zh-TW, zh-CN For your information: * Right now, 10% is like 40 hours of work according to Zanata calculation (which is a basic formula) * Modules content is probably quite out of date and will be updated soon (they said a couple of weeks) thanks to the work of Niharika Shrivastava[1] and Stephen Gallagher. Don't worry if you don't translate it for now. I'll write about it soon-ish. * Remember there also is a "Priority Package group" if you like Have a nice translation time, Jean-Baptiste [1] https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org/niharika-divyansh-modular-packages-…

Translation platform migration: status update
by Jean-Baptiste 21 Aug '19

21 Aug '19

Dear localization teams, yesterday (august 11th), during Flock at Budapest, all items written in the migration plan were discussed and agreed. Future translation platform will be Weblate. I opened this ticket to the Fedora Council to get the budget to make our translation platform hosted by the Weblate company itself: https://pagure.io/Fedora-Council/tickets/issue/268 If all goes fine, we'll have a testing period with a few projects and a GO/NO GO in December. Our community need to have more than one person being able to _administrate_ Weblate (mostly adding projects/components and configuring processes). Please express your interest if you feel like you can help on this subject, we'll do the first configuration, document it and test it together so we can learn together. --- additional information Access information about this migration: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/L10N_Move_to_Weblate My personal goal during my talk was to make sure we shared the "context" and "current processes" titles of these pages, including strengths and weaknesses, so that what I wrote represent the community as a whole, and not my own point of view. The full session was recorded and I tried my best to repeat the questions. Please note some feedback done during the session are not yet added to the wiki, but doesn't really impact the request done to Council. The "User stories" would require quite a lot of work to be complete and be really useful, but take it as an overview of key features we expect. I may go further in describing it over time to help explain how Weblate will work. There is a huge amount of work ahead of us, most of them should be easy to do, please come to the next meetings and don't be afraid to offer your help. Have a nice day, -- Jean-Baptiste Holcroft

Transtats just got better with 0.7.5 release
by Sundeep Anand 12 Aug '19

12 Aug '19

Hi, With the deployment of Transtats[1] latest release at https://transtats.fedoraproject.org/ we can track language wise translation effort for fedora releases, and the languages for which package(s) are out of sync! Language maintainers may find https://transtats.fedoraproject.org/languages/ useful. (just click your language) Transtats can estimate how much of the translations are actually packaged. Transtats use cases[2] may help identify how to utilize it for tracking purposes. Folks here may find "fedora release readiness" feature interesting. Demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xpCudZDyb4g (2.16 Minutes) Quick start page is here: https://transtats.fedoraproject.org/quick-start (Transtats sync with translation platform and build system at intervals to keep stats latest.) thanks, sundeep [1] http://transtats.org [2] https://speakerdeck.com/sundeep/use-cases-for-transtats-in-the-fedora-commu…
