Kurdish speakers?
by Jean-Baptiste 09 Jun '26

09 Jun '26

Dear translation teams, do we have people knowing kurdish? there is a few projects using "ku" as a code, which is an unclear tag. The precise tags are : - ckb Central Kurdish and Sorani - kmr Kurmanji Kurdish - sdh Southern Kurdish also known by its endonym Xwarîn I need someone to read a few files and tell me which code is to use for the current translation. It is likely the code is going to be the same all the time. Thanks a lot for your help, Jean-Baptiste

Self-Introduction: archer69m-i-a (French)
by Archer M-I-A 17 May '26

17 May '26

Hello everyone, I'm Kevin, nice to meet you. Bonjour depuis la France, et enchanté! My FAS username is archer69m-i-a (since I couldn't use an underscore during creation), but my usual FOSS username is Archer_M-I-A. I'm a French Fedora user interested in French l10n topics. # Interests in Fedora contribution ? As a Fedora user with recent interests in open-source projects, I wanted to get behind the scene to understand how it works. # Interests in Translations contributions ? Since I'm not a developer, it's the easiest way for me to contribute and improve my skills on interesting projects. I get to learn a lot of things beyond just improving my vocabulary, and this is motivating to know that more French-speaking people can gain access to open-source tools. # Native language and additional languages? Mother tongue is French and fluent in English. # Involved in other things in Fedora? Currently no # Any experience with open-source or online communities? A recent contribution to GNOME French l10n as a Fedora GNOME user. This confirms my interest in putting efforts in French l10n activities beyond just GNOME. # Parts of L10n/G11n/Translation project that are interesting to me? I think that documentation translation is a good entry point, as it gives you a broad vision of the main features of a software/process. UI translation is also interesting, but I didn't get to do much on this side. Besides, discovering new tools and processes that enable translation is always nice. # Time dedicated to FOSS I think I can dedicate a few hours a week to FOSS, mainly on the weekend. But I am currently experimenting with my schedule to find the perfect balance between work, personal life and FOSS activities, in order not be overwhelmed by everything. So I may proceed with baby steps at the beginning. Have a nice day, everyone!

[Bug 2336875] New: Layout switching in CLI
by bugzilla＠redhat.com 06 May '26

06 May '26

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2336875 Bug ID: 2336875 Summary: Layout switching in CLI Product: Fedora Localization Status: NEW Component: Other language Assignee: noriko.mizumoto(a)gmail.com Reporter: temuri.doghonadze(a)gmail.com CC: dimitris(a)glezos.com, piotrdrag(a)gmail.com, trans(a)lists.fedoraproject.org Target Milestone: --- Classification: Fedora Created attachment 2065365 --> https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=2065365&action=edit Screenshot for console after installing with ka locale Description of problem: While installing fedora CLI in a language other than English (I used Georgian) Fedora/RHEL sets system locale to specified one. In installer you can still type in English, but after reboot, I can only type in Georgian (and see squares in place of symbols, because by some reason from terminal Georgian fonts are not installed. Even when I booted system up with systemd.debug-shell=1 and switched to terminal, I still cannot see Georgian symbols (no font) and thus cannot do 'loadkeys us' thing. No any problem in GUI, though. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): In any recent (and I believe all) RHEL/Fedora/derivativaes How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install any RedHat provided system in any language other than English, install it in a way for it to boot in CLI (minimal?) 2. reboot 3. try to type anything Actual results: Cannot login to system/see symbols correctly. Expected results: Additional info: -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2336875 Report this comment as SPAM: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=Bugzilla&format=report-sp…

Self-Introduction: Johnny (for FreeIPA Traditional Chinese translation)
by JL 01 May '26

01 May '26

Name: Johnny Lin (Lost) Location: Taipei, Taiwan  Login: lostmypillow  Language: Traditional Chinese (Taiwan)  Profession or student status: Junior Developer at a small software company (agency), before that worked for 2 years as part time IT  About You: Hi, I’m Johnny. I also go by Lost or LostMyPillow in most of cyberspace. I've self taught programming and IT since middle school, I’ve used Fedora sporadically during my distro-hopping days. I have set up a FreeIPA instance on Fedora Server for my former employer, but unfortunately it didn’t come with Traditional Chinese as an interface language (Simplified Chinese doesn’t make it better at all). Seeing as I’ve also immersed myself in the English language longer than I have been distro hopping, and graduated from Department of English in National Taipei University of Technology, I thought I contribute in FreeIPA’s Traditional Chinese translation efforts, which is on 0% progress, last I checked.  You and the Fedora Project: In the future I’d also like to contribute to Fedora Workstation, or more likely Fedora Server, but seeing as I do not have any background in the lower level programming required, it’s still just a dream of mine. I do know Python, TS, Java, but I do know that’s not what Linux programming requires, so I’ll do translations for now.   GPG KEYID and fingerprint: gpg --fingerprint 81E6EC0E913FD523 pub ed25519 2026-04-26 [SC] [expires: 2029-04-26] 6159 1D57 36B0 6901 ACE6 711A 81E6 EC0E 913F D523 uid [ultimate] Johnny (lostmypillow) <lostmypillow(a)icloud.com> sub cv25519 2026-04-26 [E] [expires: 2029-04-26] B672 9FF1 233C 8FC0 9CAB DEC7 2317 134E D77B 776C Full disclosure: I’m a bit confused about the whole process detailed here:L10N/Guide - Fedora Project Wiki <https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/L10N/Guide#Becoming_a_Fedora_Translator> * I have a FAS account, agreement signed, SSH, GPG keys added. * I have subscribed to the Main L10N mailing list * I have tried to subscribe to the zh_tw L10N mailing list here trans-zh_tw (at) lists.fedoraproject.org <https://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/trans-zh_tw.lists.fedoraproject…>, but pending approval * I have NOT received any confirmation email from either of those lists, despite the guide stating there’d be one. * I have NOT joined the L10n Fedora group, as I don’t know how to join, it just shows the list of sponsors and members: 🔗 <https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/L10N/Guide#Joining_the_l10n_Group> * I have NOT written a personal page at User:Username, as the guide states I need to be in the L10N Fedora group * I’m at the step where I post a self introduction to the trans mailing list, but I have NOT sent one to the local mailing list as it’s pending approval * On Matrix I don’t see an l10n group, but I attribute it to me being very unfamiliar with Matrix, and I’m still figuring out how to access the group

New component: rhc
by Matyas Horky 13 Apr '26

13 Apr '26

Hello, we have recently created an 'rhc' project on Fedora Weblate. rhc is a CLI tool primarily targeting RHEL, from the same family of tools like subscription-manager and insights-client. It overlaps in functionality, and aims to replace them in the long term. It is present in Fedora, CentOS Stream, and RHEL. Downstream documentation is present at https://docs.redhat.com/en/documentation/red_hat_lightspeed/1-latest/html-s…. We are still in a process of setting up the upstream to make localization possible, and most of the strings are not extracted and cleaned up yet. The foundation is present though. Matyas

Localization workshop @ Prague in June
by Jean-Baptiste 22 Mar '26

22 Mar '26

Dear translators, I'll do one talk and organize one workshop in Prague in June, related to language community health in Linux ecosystem, and how to improve the situation. Could you please route the following message to your language communities across the world? The workshop would greatly benefit to have people with a diversity of experiences/projects/languages. I created this ticket to track invites: https://forge.fedoraproject.org/localization/tickets/issues/57 I'll send it to some mailing lists, but if you do, could you please share the link with me or in the ticket? You are welcome to add me in CC of your emails (jibecfed(a)fedoraproject.org) Thanks a lot for your help, --- The Fedora Project community officially invites you and leaders from your localization communities to join us in *Prague* this *June 14th–16th, 2026*, for a cross-community *workshop on the State of Open Source Localization*. Our l10n community has been processing localization statistics for the entire Linux operating system ecosystem over the last 20 years. The preliminary data reveals some serious challenges regarding the health and velocity of our language communities. While Flock to Fedora is traditionally our distribution's annual contributor conference, these translation challenges cannot be solved in a silo. We need the shared experience, knowledge, and perspectives of allies from Mozilla, Weblate, LibreOffice, Wikimedia, Localization Lab, and others to truly analyze this data. *Flock 2026 content dedicated on this subject (schedule TBD)*: * An introductory talk presenting the 20-year statistical analysis and its limitations. * An extended, collaborative workshop focused on interpreting the data and brainstorming ecosystem-wide improvements. Your free registration includes conference attendance, meals, evening social events, and access to our negotiated hotel block rates. Please note that we are unable to offer travel sponsorship at this time. You will need to secure your own travel and lodging. We have 20 years of data to review, and we would love for you to come to Prague and share your experience with us. If you have any questions, you can reach Jean-Baptiste on the Fedora Matrix server in the *#l10n:fedoraproject.org <http://fedoraproject.org>* channel. We look forward to hearing from you!

13 Mar '26

Dear translators, there is a nice project that requires translations to better understand our internet: https://ournet.rocks French speaking community will have an event tomorrow evening in Strasbourg (France), maybe you should restrain yourself to translate in French, but all other contributions are welcome. Where to contribute? https://translate.codeberg.org/projects/ournet/#information This project isn't a Fedora project, I hope this is not considered as a spam. Happy translating! Note: I already requested to replace flags by language name in https://github.com/xplosionmind/ournet/issues/32 -- Jean-Baptiste
