Bugs - Fedora Translations!

Wed Dec 3 09:41:09 UTC 2008

Hi everyone,

I have noticed that some of the Fedora packages don't show the 
translations in GUI even though they were translated. (e.g smolt - a 
hardware profiler displayed during firstboot screen doesn't appear in 
kn_IN, even though it's translated completely - bug 474131, 474292)... 
There could be some other packages too, which are translated in your 
language for Fedora 10 but not showing up the translations in GUI.

I think, the translations do for Fedora is worth, only when it reaches 
to the end users and consumed by them. So, to ensure that the 
translations reaches to the end users, we need to have this testing/QA 
phase.

I know that the QA activities are generally held pre-release. We could 
try get it done from next release. But this one is important & it could 
be called "post-release QA activity"! :)

Hence, I would like to encourage all translators to check the Fedora 10 
applications they have translated in their own language and file bugs 
accordingly if required! I can see some of the language maintainers 
already started doing so! Thanks to all of them for taking such initiatives!

Thanks!
