forwarding from the e-intl list to let you know.
-------- Messaggio originale -------- Oggetto: [Enlightenment-intl] Potuguese update and some thoughts abot enlightenment translation Data: Fri, 14 Dec 2012 23:42:50 +0000 Mittente: Sérgio Marques <[email protected]> Rispondi-a: Enlightenment internationalisation list <[email protected]> A: Enlightenment i18n list <[email protected]> /trunk/e/po Now my thoughts: Enlightenment devs don't give a crap about translations. Some time ago Igor mentioned something like "zmike doesn't care... raster doesn't care..." and raster reply "I do care..." Do You? Cause I don't think so. I'll explain: 1) String freeze No. Strings can change at any time. It's a decision as valid as other but, for me, doesn't show that You care. Usually there is a string freeze. Even if it's for 1 day. Let's assume that release is today at x time and po file is updated. But at x-1 someone commits something that breaks many strings (unlikely but can happen) . I don't care. As long as e it's ok then everything is ok, 2) Patches I don't know if Igor is a developer but he sent several patches in this list to fix strings that could not be translated as written by devs (by the way thanks for them). Does this have to be this way? I don't think so. When a dev makes code changes that should be translated why don't they make them translatable? I'm a translator not a developer. And definitely don't have the knowledge to to do it. 3) Releases At this point we've had 8 alpha, 1 beta, 1 gamma and 1 lucky. 11 releases and not a single one was mentioned in here. Don't we deserve to know? Yes I can subscribe the list but when the message arrives there the release was already made. How hard can that be? Something like: "Translators, we are going to make a release today/tomorrow at xx. Make sure You update translations to be included." If we update them fine if not at least we were advised. Those are my thoughts. I will continue to translate e cause I want to. I think it's a good software but I also think that translators deserve more respect than the one that is given. It looks like that translations aren't needed or wanted. Regards -- Sérgio Marques
