>> http://www.cazfi.net/freeciv/translations/ Many thanks for the merging service and updates, Marko! Updates on the translator list is a nice way to get a flag of hmmm, maybe I should do something about that translation again... X-) And the easy access to up-to-date po files is a lifesaver! This time round I had a moment of idle time so it worked too; I took it to push back general entropy in S2_1 and a smaller bit in TRUNK (on some things that looked to be different there). The updated po files are in http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/u/ruohomaa/po/fi.po.s2_1.gz and http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/u/ruohomaa/po/fi.po.trunk.gz respectively, if someone cares to commit them for me. <3 I ran msgfmt -v -c on them; assuming we don't have other check scripts that should be run. I can't see an easy way to sync translations between two branches given the two updated po files only; I'm under the impression that if I had an up-to-date pot file as well, I could do (given that s2_1 is the primary source of up-to-date translations) something like: msgmerge --compendium=fi.po.s2_1 fi.po.trunk freeciv.pot.trunk -o fi.po.newtrunk to both transfer missing translations from stable to trunk, and prune out translations that aren't actually needed in the trunk branch. With this in mind, would it be possible to have in the cazfi website also the freeciv.pot file the merges were based on? Should the site also maybe be linked to from the Freeciv localization instructions, or does it want to be more private (if you're not sure if you want to upkeep it regularly, you can always throw in a "last updated" date)? http://freeciv.wikia.com/wiki/Localization As for the Finnish translation, looks like we've caught up with the old translation rot for this year now (4 more messages translated than in December), and have ca. 100 more translated messages compared to the situation in June. Circa 570 messages to go in stable according to msgfmt (server techspeak and manual entries for the win...), a more depressing 1170 in trunk (which could probably also use a merge from stable again). Is there any plan yet for how long we have until the next major stable release gets branched out? I was mildly inspired by how the olden golden 2.0 actually appeared to be close to 100% translated back in the summer (thanks for throwing the occasional translation statistics on the list btw, Daniel, they're a motivator too). Maybe it wouldn't be completely impossible to massacre the remaining 570 unmessages a bit at a time and feel all warm and unfuzzy up until 2.2 branches out? Especially given the considerable increase to translator effectiveness with our splendid merge service! Timo, I also added a comment to the trunk po file that we're prioritizing the stable branch, since I always forget and go dig in old emails for it. (And the klikkaa->napsauta cleanup todo in the stable file's comments.) Header comments are the best place to leave todo items at the moment, I figure. Wanna take the GUI out for a spin some day again? :) It's great to see Freeciv still gets regular releases, by the way! It's reached quite a respectable age by now, and from what brief glances I manage to take at it, the thing keeps getting better and slicker. I still seem to remember a time when getting sounds (at all) or a SECOND tileset would have been totally awesome, not to mention getting around to playing without starting the server and client separately based on this README doc. Can't remember if the main talk about AI players back then was on getting the first ones made or getting them to behave at all sanely though; Freeciv's always been strongest at network play. ;) --Sini, a lurking old translator (and 90s Civ addict) _______________________________________________ Freeciv-i18n mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-i18n
