Re: Resigning as Persian localization coordinator

2010-10-25 Thread Arash Mousavi
Hi;

According to the Roozbeh's mail and as Mahyar said on the his previous
mail, we invited
a group of active members of GNU/Linux in Iran included current
volunteers worked on
translations these days, to IFSUG Translators mailing list in order to
discuss and vote for
new coordinator of Persian l10n team.

As you can see on the mailing list archive (http://goo.gl/WM3I) the
general consensus is that
Mahyar (http://goo.gl/HAcV) has the qualifications to be the new coordinator.

I have to thank Roozbeh for his hard work during these years and hope
we can still use his
experiences in our team.

Cheers!
Arash M

git version of gtranslator

2011-04-14 Thread Arash Mousavi
Hi!

I really like to use a translation programs that uses native GNOME technologies 
like gtranslator instead of poedit that uses wxgtk. Today I
saw Nacho's blog post[1] that says gtranslator git version is ported to GTK 
3.0, so I got and tested it.
It seems that the  gtranslator wraps original strings in PO files. Besides 
that, it makes the files a little bigger, is that a problem?

Dear my friends;

I think all that has happened so far, in here and in Technotux forums,
are just caused by some misunderstandings. We are a team and we have a
same goal. And I think the new group of translators has shown their
faithfulness with sending translations. Lets just keep working on our
goal.

Best Wishes

Re: New team for [Persian] ([fa])

2008-07-05 Thread Arash Mousavi
Dear Mohammad;

There's no possibelity to start a team that already exist. We have discussed
about it too much in Gnome Mailing List.  If you have translated any po
file, submit it on
bugzilla<http://bugzilla.gnome.org/buglist.cgi?product=l10n&component=Persian%20%5Bfa%5D&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=REOPENED&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=UNCONFIRMED>(The
way we're doing right now).

Best Wishes
