I was wondering if it's possible to create a list of all strings a particular translator has translated / reviewed. I would like to have something like that stored as an appendix to my CV (applying for freelance translator job). Any help is highly appriciated. Regards </pre> Andrej Znidarsic 2012-05-23T17:45:36 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ubuntu.translators.general/5473 <pre>Hi David, Could anybody please give me the answer to a little question? We are probably releasing a micro-release update for Onboardthe default onscreen keyboard shipping with ubuntu precise in the next days (unless something unexpected occurs during the current tests). In fact, we are releasing version 0.97.1 from the 0.97 branch as an update of version 0.97.0. There is no translatable string change between the two releases, apart the removal of a few strings. Do I have to inform the ubuntu translators about these string removals? Thanks in advance for any help, Cheers, Francesco </pre> Francesco Fumanti 2012-05-10T09:47:13 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ubuntu.translators.general/5468 <pre>Hi all, Just a heads up that I'm preparing the first Qreator release next week, and I'm starting the string freeze period. Thank you all who have submitted translations so far. There have been 9 new strings added since the last translation call, so if you'd like to help completing them, please head to: https://translations.launchpad.net/qreator You can test what will be the upcoming version by installing the package [1] or subscribing to the PPA [2].

It's called Qreator and it makes it possible to easily create QR codes from the desktop. You can translate it here: https://translations.launchpad.net/qreator You can install it from here: https://launchpad.net/qreator/0.1/first-release/+download/qreator_0.1-public1ubuntu1_all.deb You can report bugs here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/qreator You can improve the code here: https://code.launchpad.net/qreator My intention is to submit it to the Software Centre to road test the app developer process, and I think it'd be really cool to get it translated in as many languages as possible before it reaches the store. Thanks a lot! Cheers, David. </pre> David Planella 2012-05-17T11:47:48 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ubuntu.translators.general/5459 <pre>Hi all, Ubuntu-defaults-builder is a set of tools to allow for the easy localization of ubuntu cd images, providing LoCo's and others with an easy way to create ubuntu cd images customised for a certain country, region or group [1]. To facilitate discussion between people who are interested in creating these customized images, I have created the “Ubuntu localized iso community” team on launchpad [2]. Feel free to join the team if you are interested in this project, or if you have any questions. If you want to get started yourself, you can follow the steps described here [3] to easily create your own customized iso image.

We've uploaded the language packs to the precise-proposed repository for you to test before they are released to all users. These should contain all your updates and fixes in translations done since the release date. I'd like to ask teams to test them and provide an indication that they've done so by following some simple steps and submitting a signoff, so that we know that translations have been successfully tested. Simply follow the instructions in this page and add your team's signoff in the appropriate table: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Translations/LanguagePackUpdatesQA The desktop specific language packs will only be distributed for the desktops (e.g. GNOME and KDE) that have been tested. The deadline for the testing is the *17th of March* (in one week's time). After that, we'll update the language packs we've received feedback for into precise-updates, so that all users can benefit from the new translations and fixes. Remember that you'll have to to enable the precise-proposed repository to get these updates: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed Cheers, David. </pre> David Planella 2012-05-09T22:39:43 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ubuntu.translators.general/5449 <pre>Join Brandy Nacole Seres on Yahoo!

This cycle will be more or less like the last one, in which I've been devoting less time to translations and more to the app developer community.

What you think about that? Should we report that bug? </pre> Eduard Gotwig 2012-05-04T12:03:10 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ubuntu.translators.general/5407 <pre>Hi! As it was said by leading Kubuntu maintainer [1], Kubuntu 12.04 will not use LP translations for at least Calligra. Some other KDE extragear translations that are not used: akonadi-kalarm-resource (not an Extragear, but was not imported) amarok choqok konversation qapt-deb-installer (from Muon suite) solidcontrolnm09 It seems that Ubuntu translation maintainers are too busy now, so these templates (along with Calligra) were not disabled. If you like sexy green bars, you can import translations from KDE upstream, but it's just a matter of green bars now (translations will not be used). ;) Best regards, Yuri [1] http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2012/04/24/%23kubuntu-devel.html </pre> Yuri Chornoivan 2012-04-26T08:07:23 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ubuntu.translators.general/5400 <pre> Hello Ubuntu Translators! Unfortunately we need to make a string change in the lobby opt-in panel text for the new recommendations feature in Ubuntu Software Center in Precise. The corresponding bug is here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/986437 From the bug description: We need to remove the word "anonymous" from the opt-in panel text, per mpt's comment #5 in bug 967064: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-center/+bug/967064/comments/5 We need to do this part of the recommendations opt-in process for the user currently requires an SSO account and for the user to be logged into this account. Having this information greatly improves the accuracy of the personalized recommendations that they will receive, particularly after they have rated some of their applications. Given this requirement, even though the list of uploaded packages is not tracked in any way, it is nevertheless not accurate to use the word "anonymous" in the opt-in text, so we want to remove it. The diff is very simple: === modified file 'softwarecenter/ui/gtk3/widgets/recommendations.py' --- softwarecenter/ui/gtk3/widgets/recommendations.py 2012-04-15 23:53:57 +0000 +++ softwarecenter/ui/gtk3/widgets/recommendations.py 2012-04-16 00:00:36 +0000 &lt; at &gt;&lt; at &gt; -145,7 +145,7 &lt; at &gt;&lt; at &gt; TURN_ON_RECOMMENDATIONS_TEXT = _(u"Turn On Recommendations") RECOMMENDATIONS_OPT_IN_TEXT = _(u"To make recommendations, " "Ubuntu Software Center " - "will occasionally send to Canonical an anonymous list " + "will occasionally send to Canonical a list " "of software currently installed.") def __init__(self, catview): Many thanks and my sincere apologies for asking for this change at the very end of the cycle! And, as always, thank you for your good work!!

As soon as possibile, I'll start to check for bugs in the English documentation (typos, spaces and so on). Ciao </pre> Valter Mura 2012-04-23T20:11:02 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ubuntu.translators.general/5390 <pre>Hi, It was just pointed on the ubuntu-fr-l10n that some of the ubuntu desktop guide strings that are supposed to be translated (and correctly showing up in the po exported by launchpad) don't show translated on precise, I did look a bit at it. The "precise-translations" vcs which has been pointed out as having the current translations seems to somewhat be outdated compared to the ubuntu translations (the french version there has some 180 strings translated less that the po exported from the launchpad ui for example) The email is a "for your information" one in case somebody else notice, if anyone has a clue about the "precise-translations" vcs and what is wrong with it that would be good to fix it, otherwise I guess for the next update we will do an "export a po tarball" from launchpad. -- Sebastien Bacher </pre> Sebastien Bacher 2012-04-21T08:58:00 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ubuntu.translators.general/5388 <pre>Now that the final language pack for the Ubuntu 12.04 release images has been built, it's time to start thinking about how future language pack updates will work. There's a whole list of ubuntu-docs bugs from the past few weeks (found by the Ubuntu translators - thank you!). I'd like to move ubuntu-docs back into soft freeze so that we can fix these. David, did you want to propose a schedule for when ubuntu-docs should go back into hard freeze and when the first post-release language pack will be built? And I think the final language pack schedule should be either added to or at least linked to from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrecisePangolin/ReleaseSchedule Thanks, Jeremy </pre> Jeremy Bicha 2012-04-20T02:36:58 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ubuntu.translators.general/5387 <pre>Hey, I want to inform you translators that the deadlines for translating Ubuntu is nearly there, and I don't think that this bug is going to be fixed in this short time. So I recommend you to cut your text strings for the super key ubuntu unity overlay to MAXIMAL 47 charackters . ( see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/924840 ) Here are the templates : https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/precise/+source/unity/+pots/unity Please search for the right strings The German Ubuntu Translator Team did that. </pre> Eduard Gotwig 2012-04-19T13:51:43 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ubuntu.translators.general/5386 <pre>Hello I want to say, that in Xubuntu 12.04 in polish language there is some letters bugs, like hibernate session - zahiberuj sesję. It should be zahibernuj sesję :) Where I can fix this annoying bugs? I translate in officially transifex Xfce 4.8 and Xfce 4.10 :) Cheers </pre> Michał Olber 2012-04-19T13:43:06 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ubuntu.translators.general/5385 <pre>Hi! Last night Kubuntu Team uploaded new templates for Kubuntu docs. Due to minor changes (spaces, commas, periods, using entities) one can expect that about 574 messages need attention. But there is no reason to hurry. Documentation contains at least dozen of typos (the bug report is ignored due to the person in charge of the package and most of the developers are crazy busy), no translations will be packaged with 12.04 and there exist &gt; 50% probability that translations will never be packaged at all (as for the previous releases). This message is just to warn you that you might waste your time translating Kubuntu docs and will never see the results of your work. Now you are warned. ;) Best regards, Yuri </pre> Yuri Chornoivan 2012-04-19T09:06:23 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ubuntu.translators.general/5373 <pre>Hello, I want to inform you that the translations are simply to long for over 30 languages, this affects: AMNATIC ASTURIANU BELARUS BOSANKSI CATALA CESTINA DEUTSCH EUSKARA HRVATSKI ISLENSKA GEORGIAN KANNADA LAO LITHUANIAN LATVIAN MALAYALAM NORWEGIAN POLSKI PORTUGUES DO BRASIL (very bad) SAAMI NOR. SLOVAK ALBANIAN SERBIAN UKRAINE TELEGU TIENG VIET In these languages, the user is not able to read the last F6 Option from the ISOLINUX menu. Also I want to note that BENGA THAI do not have any translations for the start options, and the F(unction) Options, but for the Help (to find at F1) I am unsure of GATEGO The translations for HINDI and KHMER are broken in the Help (to find at F1) If you know one of these languages PLEASE fix it. I have to say that I dont know where the link to the translation series is, I am sorry for that. Please understand the importance of this, to users. If you fixed a translation, you can mark it HERE: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1DHNz26wUJR6y8rUrR1zVJ_tYW3EoFAmOgwUMhSqY76k/edit, too. If I was wrong, I am sorry for that, please post that, too.

I noticed that there haven't been any updates apart from those from the German team, which seem to have committed to ubuntu-docs already. Is there any other team who wanted to submit localized screenshots? Assuming the docs team agrees (as we are already quite late in the cycle), we could do a final round up commit with localized images. Cheers, David. </pre> David Planella 2012-04-17T11:14:00 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ubuntu.translators.general/5365 <pre>This is a freeze exception request for one last update to ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu, including new screenshots for the Ubuntu slideshow. This is pretty straight-forward: previously, screenshots shown in the installer were from an older version of Ubuntu. Now, they're from 12.04. And they're a little more consistent, too :) You can see a preview slideshow with new screenshots over here: http://people.ubuntu.com/~dylanmccall/ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu/preview/ (You might need to Shift+Refresh if you've looked at that before, because browser caching is crazy and stuff). I apologize that this took so long to happen. I wasn't expecting the wallpaper to arrive when it did. I am not intending to make any changes with this release except for the screenshots. Exception request in Launchpad: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu/+bug/982109 Thank you!
