Re: [l10n-dev] Re: Re: New home for downloading language packs
Hi all, both websites are now online. Best regards Marcus Marcus Lange wrote: Hi all, when there are no further comments, then I'll start to bring both sites to the new location at "download.openoffice.org/other.html" and "download.openoffice.org/langpack.html". Thanks Marcus Marcus Lange wrote: Hi, because IA64 and Linux PPC builds are only available for English US and no other language, I've moved the columns to a separate table below the first one. This will save a bit space to the right hand side. Best regards Marcus Marcus Lange wrote: Hi, I've done some further changes: - Placed all notes to another website, so that the tables with download links will come a bit higher. - Furthermore I think it is better to name the download links as "Download" instead of the version number. Because the normal user will search for links that provide the actual download. So when naming it in this way it's easier to find and understand. Therefore I've named the links with the 3.1.1 builds with "Download" and (re)introduced the "Latest release" column. - I've extended the concept also to the full installation builds: http://download.openoffice.org/next/other_all.html Best regards Marcus Marcus Lange wrote: Hi all, as an alternative I've created a langpack website with all files listed in 2 tables: http://download.openoffice.org/next/langpack_all.html Maybe we can agree on this as commpromise? Best regards Marcus Marcus Lange wrote: Hi all, as promised I thought about a new structure and have created the following websites to ease the download of RC builds: http://download.openoffice.org/next/other_rc.html http://download.openoffice.org/next/langpack_rc.html Please have a look if the names of the languages are correct. It's not easy to find the correct wording for so many, so please bear with me. ;-) Keep in mind that this is just a test to show you how it could look like. It's not yet the final version (e.g., all builds that are already released have to be deleted from here, of course). Once we have a final state I would update the index page (http://download.openoffice.org/next), so that both new websites can be found via links and make some announcements. Please tell me what you think about this. Thanks in advance. Best regards Marcus Marcus Lange wrote: Hi all, I think I haven't taken into account the many differences with builds, testing and NL communities. So, I'm sorry if anyone feels offend. This was not my intension or to ignore the situation. I'll think about what could be done to provide the builds to the users (tested or not, released or not). Because it's a very high number this will be not easy. And take into account that someone has to maintain this monster of list (7 platforms with 90+ languages). ;-) Just wanted to take the chance to answer here early before my absence the next week. Therefore please don't expect to have a fast solution. Best regards Marcus - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@l10n.openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@l10n.openoffice.org
Re: [l10n-dev] New Features in 3.2
Hello, thanks, I know both documents you linked to, but I am looking for the official "New features" document that is prepared for every release and is very useful for promotion of the new version, so we translate it always into Slovenian and put it on the sl.openoffice.org and post a link to it into the announcement of the localized new version. I was just wondering if that document is already finished or if somewhere its work-in-progress version is posted, but obviously it is not done yet. 3.2 will come out just after the new year and I do not want to spend Christmas holidays localizing.

[l10n-dev] TESTING: L10n CWS build / lang pkgs
Dear All, this is a reminder that l10n TCM testing has been extended till November 26th http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/OOoRelease32. Builds are available at: http://ooo.services.openoffice.org/pub/OpenOffice.org/cws/upload/localization/localization37/ If you encounter any critical issue during testing, please communicate this via email or issue immediately. If you encounter some quality issues that you can fix and you want to integrate in the final version please do let us know, either commenting the issue you used to submit the translated files for 3.2 or by adding this information to this issue: http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=106825 I also would like to encourage you to check open issue submitted for your languages and either fix them, comment them or close them - if they are not applicable any more. The number of l10n issues is very high and it's important that we get realistic statistics of how good or bad the l10n products are.

[l10n-dev] Some useful reminders about our online tools and processes
Hello, I thought it would be useful for our new members and less new members to know that we use tools inside the OpenOffice.org project that help drive the quality of their work and streamline the distribution of OpenOffice.org in their language. If you look at the http://l10n.openoffice.org page, you will see that there are many links, some of them pointing to some tools we use. Localization tools such as pootle are not mandatory (see the localization process pages for more information) but we would really like you to use the tool called TCM. What's TCM? It's a tool that automates certain tests, and it's easy to use! It makes your work easier and improves the quality of our builds. Now let's take a quick look at the QA project (as in Quality Assurance): http://qa.openoffice.org . As a localization maintainer or as a native-language project lead *you have to test the quality of your localized build* . We have tools aside the TCM tests for this. One of them is Issue Zilla, but what we work with is Quaste (http://quaste.services.openoffice.org/) and it helps streamline everyone's QA operations. Plus it's online so it is easily accessible if you have broadband. The other tool I would like to tell you about is the QATrack. What the QATrack does in a few words is that it lists the status of all the localized builds on each platform. Then it's easier for us to include your localization in our mirrors, since we know about what you're doing. However, QAtrack does not work by itself. It requires *you* to fill out the details and provide the right informations on a regular basis. There is no wrong answer there, if you're not ready it's not that bad, but the important thing is that the community developers and users know about it. Last but not least, please DO NOT FORGET TO PUT A LINK TO THE DOWNLOAD MIRROR of both BINARIES & SOURCES for your localized builds! If you lack server space or have no server at all, please feel free to contact me or the native-lang list for help. Thank you, Charles-H. Schulz. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@l10n.openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@l10n.openoffice.org
[l10n-dev] New Features in 3.2
Hello, I wonder if the description of new features in 3.2 (the kind it was for 3.1: http://www.openoffice.org/dev_docs/features/3.1/) is ready or maybe in some beta or RC version to start translating. Thanks, m.
