the l10n project. But information and discussion on Pootle and its

If I get your support, I will go ahead and set up a

Hi Rafaella,

I support your idea.

To be honest, I really want the place to share and discuss
the translation tools and process as soon as possible.
Now I am holding my post about Pootle until the discussion
is finished.  Going through the Pootle process first time,
I have a lot of findings, feedback, suggestion I want to share.

It is easy to put all possible problems under term 'workflow(s)'. e.g
when I'm announcing about new pot-files, it's a workflow related
thing, because using po-files is just one of thousands workflows?
(just to be sure what is this I'm voting for)

This is avery short time, given the fact that we have

- a base milestone of low quality ( DEV300m5 seems to have several

We surely will do our best, but this won't be much more than rushing

yes, I confirm that the oooreadme can be uploaded to Pootle. However, 
we need first to clarify if the README content will be available only 
on a wiki page or if it gets back into the oooreadme file and if yes 
by when. Adding the readme to Pootle now means - as far as I

Before we add the ooreadme module to Pootle, I would like to get

Here is an update on the above. On April 17th/18th the updated readme 
for OOo 3.0 Beta will be available for translation. Translation delivery 
date is April 22nd. Not much time, but at least a chance to get it 
translated and integrated into the Beta release

Re: [l10n-dev] POOTLE: Translation was submitted via IssueTracker;Please fix gsicheck errors

2008-04-08 Thread Gregor Hartmann
Hi, just to be sure: are these errors detected by the gsicheck tool
which I maintain or is it some other tool(s).

if it is some other tool, so it would be good to pick a different name
to avoid confusion.

I had a look at some of the errors and to me it seems as if there are
quite a lot of false positives. meaning errors are detected where there
are no errors.

Would it be possible to add an automatic check with gsicheck and have
the errorfiles along with the errormessages ready for download
somewhere? That might help some translators.

These checks give a lot of false positives, which lowers the trust in them.
For instance the translation of strings like [none] always produces an error
in the category "variables".

Thanks for the feedback, André. The translations of the Pootle interface
is maintained at http://pootle.locamotion.org - perhaps you can
contribute there, since you understand the context of that message
better. Also feel free to help us add good comments to the translation
to help translators understand it better.

I would really like to know these details, since it is definitely our
intention to report at least all the errors that gsicheck reports.
Please help us if there are any errors that we missed - perhaps they
were added to gsicheck more recently, or there is a bug in our error
detection around this. I believe the quality checks is a powerful way
for translators to review possibly problematic strings.
