Call for translations
Hi all, == Loco Team Reapproval == As part of the awesome job the LoCo council are doing on this cycle, they've completed the document which defines how approved LoCo teams will be assessed for re approval after 2 years [1]. While we use English as a means of communication in our global community, LoCos use a multitude of languages according to their region or cultural background. As such, we'd like that every LoCo member could know about this process in his or her own language, so I'd like to ask you to translate the document to your own: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoCouncil/LoCoTeamReApproval Here's how it goes: simply copy the original English text of the page to a subpage named as your language code (*) and translate it. Then add a link to the translation on the table on top of the original English page and you're done! Have a look at the comments in the wiki page for more information, or also at the current Catalan translation in there. == Translations Test Cases == The Translations and QA team are working on a set of test cases to improve the quality of translations [1]. One of these test cases deals with input methods to type complex characters with a conventional keyboard, and in particular it focuses on the Chinese, Japanese and Korean languages (CJK). We'd like the test case to be easy and general, so that everyone can run it, not only those who speak the language. Therefore, we'd like to provide translations for the button/textbox/option descriptions mentioned in the test case, so that non CJK speakers can recognise them as well. At this point, I'd like to call for Chinese, Japanese and Korean speakers to translate those actions marked in bold in the same way they are translated during the install at: http://testcases.qa.ubuntu.com/Install/NonEnglishLanguage#Installation%20Full%20Network%20Support%20&%20CJK%20Input You can see how it goes by looking at the Simplified Chinese translations, which have already been done, but it works like this. For example: Select your timezone and click Forward. * In Simplified Chinese "前进" * In Traditional Chinese "" * In Japanese "" * In Korean "" I'd also encourage you to review them or to propose new translations test cases, since I'm sure they'll also be quite good for testing jams during the incoming Ubuntu Global Jam. Thanks! Regards, David.

Re: Template priorities in Launchpad set up for Karmic

That said, I'll have to review how I calculated the packages installed by default. What I've used so far are the source packages present in the LiveCD, but some of them, such as tracker, do not seem to be installed. > * not sure about GGZ Gamin Zone template... but maybe people do play a > lot of online games supporting ggz. > Put them together with ggz-gtk-client > Sounds good to me. > * tracker - as far as I know it is no longer installed by default > Yes, I think it can go further down. > I will move them just above the bulk (around 600) KDE templates. > Sounds good to me, taking into account the comment on GIMP. > -- > Here is my list of templates I think could have their priority increades > above the KDE bulk: > > * ubuntu-docs - they are installed by default and now they are around > position 800. That's because of the classification on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Translations/TemplatesPriority#Priority% 20policy. Summarizing it: GUI, default, installer GUI, default, Ubuntu GUI, default, Kubuntu docs, default, Ubuntu docs, default, Kubuntu For consistence's sake, I kept all documentation in one block and after the GUI applications (Ubuntu first, and then Kubuntu), but if translators think it would be better to move the block before Kubuntu, we can consider doing it. What do other people think? GUI, default, installer GUI, default, Ubuntu => docs, default, Ubuntu GUI, default, Kubuntu docs, default, Kubuntu > Except ubuntu-doc-serverguide (not sure if it still maintained) I was not sure, either, but I kept it with the other docs for consistence. Matthew, do you know what the status of the Server Guide is? > * cheese > * pidgin, pidgin-libnotify - even if epiphany is the new client, I know > many person still using pidgin > * nautilus-cd-burner - a simple alternative to brasero It sounds good to me, to move them further up the 'GUI, non-default' block, but I'd like to keep them inside the block to tell them apart from GUI apps installed by default, since I'll be using the priorities to generate the distro translation statistics. > * not sure about pessulus and sabayon - they are port of the main Gnome Yes, altough not generally used by the normal user. They can perhaps go further up in the 'GUI, non-default' block. > * pppconfig and pppoeconf - when NetworkManager have problems, this > tools are often used. I'm not too sure, since I'd still prefer to prioritise the GUI applications over the command-line ones. They are not mentioned in the Ubuntu documentation, either. We can definitely put them at the top of the 'CLI, default' block for now, though. > * gtk+ gtk+-properties ... don't know why it is at position 1200 Well spotted. The template name in the list (and the source package) did not seem to match those in Launchpad. I've set the priorites manually and should now appear further up the list. > * ibus-pinyin ... should this template be near the other ibus stuff? > (Just asking) Perhaps some of the translators using this package can tell us more on this one? > > This should be a good start :) > Thanks a lot for the detailed feedback, this is very useful!

Re: kubuntu-doc templates in Karmic updated

For the teams wanting to complete these translations, would perhaps two weeks time be enough for you?
