Summary | 0001066: How to find new translators? | ||||
Description | The attached file contains TS files for the presumably abandoned languages, which are: Basque, Brazilian, Bulgarian, Catalan, Dutch, Galician, Hungarian, Indonesian, Lithuanian, and Turkish. These files were moved from PO to TS format, and their strings upgraded to the current CVS version. There are obviously no interested (or not any more) native speakers for those languages on the mailing list, I suggest to go public with it and seek for the translators in the outer space. The idea is, you could put a piece of news about it on the web page or on the mailing list, or even here, containing a clear statement, which languages need new mainteners, and we (I can do it) could post to various national Usenet groups, pointing people there to the news and to the translation howto: http://docs.scribus.net/index.php?lang=en&sm=translationhowto&page=translation_howto I moved these po files to ts and upgraded them in order to make the work for the newcomers as easy as possible, since the translation howto refers to TS files. | ||||

Mail exchange on this topic: http://nashi.altmuehlnet.de/pipermail/scribus/2004-September/006298.html |
|
Franz, please grab these files for cvs. |
|
I've added updated ts files for those languages (as of 2004.09.22, file name 20040922_ts_4_abandoned_langs.tar.bz2) |
|
Maciej, what have you done to update these files? Franz has a script that automagically updates the files to insert all new strings. He just needs to run it now and then. |
|
Initially, I moved them from PO to TS file format. Yesterday, I updated their strings with lupdate to the current CVS state and removed the "default" context, to make them thinner. There are no TS files for those languages in /Scribus/scribus/po directory so far, so I presume, Franz' script can update only their existing PO files. |
|
That will mean Franz hasnt grabbed the files. The update script does update the ts files. Franz, please take the TS files to replace the PO files. |
|
There is a new translator for Catalan: http://nashi.altmuehlnet.de/pipermail/scribus/2004-September/006605.html http://nashi.altmuehlnet.de/pipermail/scribus/2004-September/006618.html |
|
Maciej, whats your plan for this bug? Franz has put all of these files, updated even, in CVS tonight. Can we close this? |
|
Craig, yes, you may close this issue, but please consider doing this: - There is still no "official" statement from the Scribus team, which languages need new mainteners. Putting this either on the website or on the mailing list could help us spread the news about it, _before_ 1.2.1 is released - /Scribus/scribus/po still contains old, unupdated PO files for these languages - such freedom of choice might be quite confusing for new translators, please consider removing them (not quite sure about that, perhaps marking them as "old" would be better) - http://bugs.scribus.net/trans/ still refers to the old PO files for these abandoned languages, instead of TS files , a small fix is needed |
|
Maciej, yep. I emailed Franz to remove those old PO files last night. I think some of the ts files are named incorrectly tho, eg .no.ts should be .no_NO.ts? The translation statistics will update as soon as the PO files no longer exist... automagic. |
|
Mail sent.. BTW.. no and nb NO are correct.. ie.. they both should be the same file at this point in time.. Franz just hasnt copied the file to the new name yet. The higher value translation file is correct. |
|
>Mail sent... Just perfect:) I'm going post to the national Usenet groups for those languages next week (I hope, we'll know more until then, academic year starts, students will be back). For now, I've already posted to some Usenet groups (for those languages, where Scribus translations are utterly missing): is.tolvur.unix //Iceland pt.comp.so.linux //Portugal local.linux.greek.users //Greece hr.comp.os.linux //Croatia lv.tehnika //Latvia soc.culture.romanian //Romania yu.os.unix //Serbia and Montenegro ee.ervutid.unix //Estland tw.bbs.comp.linux //Israel tw.bbs.comp.unix //Israel gnubies-il@yahoogroups.com //Hebrew (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/gnubies-il/message/2772) linux-heb@iglu.org.il //Hebrew mailing list grk.comp.software //Greece hr.comp.linux //Croatia yu.os.linux //Serbia and Montenegro ee.arvutid.unix.linux.vestlus //Estland lvusers@lists.linux.lv //Latvian mailing list http://lists.linux.lv/arhivs/lvusers/Week-of-Mon-20040927/date.html open-source@grnet.gr //Greek mailing list (https://mailman2.grnet.gr/mailman/listinfo/open-source ) http://glua.ua.pt/index.php?option=com_simpleboard&Itemid=26&func=view&id=315&catid=8 //a Portugese Linux forum kde-isl@mmedia.is //mailing list for Icelandic translators http://linuxserbia.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3111 //Linux Serbia Forum http://www.linux.ie/pipermail/ilug/2004-October/018869.html //Irish mailing list _______________________________________________ "Hi, I'm an enthusiastic user and the Polish translator of Scribus www.scribus.net , the Open Source DTP application. I've noticed, that Scribus GUI hasn't yet been translated into your language (see translation statistics for more: http://bugs.scribus.net/trans/ ). The Scribus team is going to release a bugfix release 1.2.1 in not a very distant future, it would be nice, if it could contain a GUI translation for your language, too. If anybody is interested, please: 1. join the Scribus mailing list http://nashi.altmuehlnet.de/mailman/listinfo/scribus and let the Scribus team know, that you are going to translate 2. Read this very easy to follow translation howto: http://docs.scribus.net/index.php?lang=en&sm=translationhowto&page=translation_howto 3. Submit your translated files to bugs.scribus.net 4. If you prefere IRC, an IRC channel #scribus on freenode.net is quite active Looking forward to seeing Scribus in your language Maciej Hanski" edited on: 04-10-03 00:29 |

So far we have one interested person from Croatia (not sure yet), one very nice and supportive mail from Ireland (hoping for more), and one question from Israel (my answers http://nashi.altmuehlnet.de/pipermail/scribus/2004-October/006692.html and http://groups.yahoo.com/group/gnubies-il/message/2774 - I'm not quite sure, whether they have been sufficient) edited on: 04-10-02 12:19 |

Just reposted your "String freeze" message to some 10 usenet groups (from Basque to Romanian) and a Greek and Latvian mailing list. I think, this request is ripe to be closed now. |
|
Thanks, closing as not an issue as its not software and was more a discussion |
