[l10n-dev] SDF-Files from Key ID builds urgently needed

2010-08-10 Thread Andre Schnabel
Hi,

thanks for the KeyID-builds, but at the moment I have the problem to
identify the strings in my translation files. As long as we do not
have the sdf files that were used to create those builds, I have no
idea how to do this.

I need to fix some accellerators in very prominent places (like
StartCenter and new Printer UI). If I cannot to this before regular
translation deadline, I need to raise this as stopper.


regards,

André

 Hi, Andre,
 
 what do these builds do? Do they show id-s of the used strings in the
 GUI and help?

Yes, that's what they do.

Each string gets a 6 characters unique ID displayed (like v+q5p2).
You then can use the sdf file to locate the exact string location.

 Reminder 
 
 Hi,
 
 Pootle was updated with m3. Please try to update your translation
 files before the down time.

Why? Translation delivery is Aug. 19th.
So - I agree, that we should try to get our translations in better now
than later, but there is no need to hurry (and risk low quality).

At the other hand I see no reason to get ~20 Strings translated, when
only one was requested as bugfix. We had UI freeze, it is *not* my
duty to fix UI changes that other people introduced. (I'll do it,
just because I do not want that such bugs are presented to the end user).

André

[l10n-dev] Status of l10n integration and CWS availability

2010-07-21 Thread Andre Schnabel
Hi,

according to 
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Translation_for_3.3

the first deadline for l10n delivery was 6 days ago.

Unfortunately we have no information, if strings have been retrieved from 
pootle, if there are problems with gsicheck etc.

I've seen cws ooo330l10n has been created two days ago, but there
is no status information on the cws (no due date, no ready for qa date ...).

According to the wiki, builds should be ready for testing by tomorrow.
This would be really great, as we have a project workshop session
during the weekend - and I planned to have a cws testing session.


Could someone give more information?

One wish for the future: could someone take care, that not only the l10n
community is asked to meet the deadlines? It happened now several times,
that l10n engineering did not meet deadlines, without informing us
beforehand. Often we see such information when the deadline is due
or one day later. This does not only raise pressure on our teams (as
time for our work is reduced) but makes planning of our work a superfluous
waste of time.

Hi,

 Von: Reiko Saito reiko.sa...@oracle.com
 An: dev@l10n.openoffice.org

 
 Could anyone let me know why TBX is desireble,
 rather than csv in your translation ?

Because it is a LISA standard that can be (and is) implemented by
several tools?

So instead of using csv (where each and every tool might have a different
idea, what values to export in what order) we might use a file format
where tools have a common understanding how to process the content.

Re: [l10n-dev] IMPORTANT: OpenOffice.org 3.3 - translation schedule

2010-06-22 Thread Andre Schnabel
Hi,

 
 In summary, pt-BR UI got back to 90% of translated strings (from 100%) 
 and that does not seem correct with respect to the new features 
 announced for OO 3.3.

Same for German here. 

*but* this is normal behavior having our current workflow in mind.
some developer decided to shuffle source strings from location A to
location B - our workflow does not apply atuomatic translation to such
changes (last time this happened, it seemed as if developers are not
aware of the l10n workload they are causing).


 
 On a side note, I really think we need a version control on the po
 files...

Yes, would also be nice to have, but would not solve the specific
problem. I did not check yet, if the strings at the new location can
be translated automatic.

André

  On a side note, I really think we need a version control on the po

 I think that a more powerful translation memory in Pootle would help...

Pootle (or more precise translate toolkit) can use old translation files
(set of po files) as translation memory. I'd guess, using pretranslate 
instead of pomerge would give much more fuzzy matches (so that you only
need to check instead of translate).

Still did not test this - quite busiy with other things atm :(

Hi Rafaella,

 Von: Rafaella Braconi rafaella.brac...@sun.com
 
 Sun translated files - if Community files are not available - are being 
 uploaded to Pootle. Once done, Pootle translations (translation should 
 be at least 80%) as well as translated files delivered via issue will be 
 integrated on the localization CWS.

thanks for the update :)
 
 For next week, Friday, April 9th, we are expecting a few more strings 
 that will need to be translated. We will follow the *normal* translation 
 process, by indicating which milestone to take to update your 
 translation and by making the strings available via Pootle.

Does this mean, Sun will maintain the additional Strings (as with the 
recent round) or should community take care? (I'm fine with both,
just need to know).

Hi,


 Pootle has not yet been updated (the milestone is not yet ready) Ivo 
 will be posting later today when it's ready. Please note that has 
 already said during the release meeting, Sun will be translating the 
 following 16 languages: es, de, fr, it, pt, pt-br, sv, nl, hu, pl, ru, 
 ar, ja, zh, zh_tw, ko. Once the translation are ready will be made 
 available in Pootle.


What exactly does this mean? Will Sun translate the new / changes strings,
so that community will have nothing to do (but to check if all is ok)?

Hi,

 Hi all! While testing rc4, another newbie question:
 
 - How much time without stoppers is considered to be enough to get
 approved
   a given rc?

normally until next release status meeting (which is every monday).

So for regular RC we have about a week. RC's with only one or two
stoppers fixed might have a shorter time for approval. First RC normally
gets about two weeks for testing.

[l10n-dev] List of datasources in new database wizard not translated

2010-01-20 Thread Andre Schnabel
Hi,

can some l10n teams have a look at issue 107957?
http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=107957

It is reported for Korean, but it seems, German localization has the same 
problem (list of datasources in the Connect to existing database 
list is not translated).

I just wonder if this is a general problem or if I should file a new
issue for German.


In any case, I'd suggest this to be fixed in 3.2.1.

yes, there are some more strings that *cannot* be localized.
(Not really nice .. but ... :( )

The problem I just mentioned is new - datasource strings were localized
in 3.1 and are also translated in pootle (at least for German).

So it's a regression and likely an integration problem. (Which we
unfortunately missed during cws tests.)

 Just 9 (or 10 if you count two Chinese) languages. OOo is fully built in

 Spanish and Swedish communities might be happy with this decision, 


Nope, we are not (ok, we do not yet know, if *we* are, as *we* have not been
aware of the decision).

Problem is, that wJRE builds are not usefull for users in corporate /
business environments. For the moment I just can tell, the we had
the discussion on 3.1.1, when we did not test w/o-JRE builds 
(without clearly stating this beforehand). We definatley have users

Basic idea is to automate the pootle - sdf thing, have this synced

2009-09-28 Thread Andre Schnabel
Hi,

 Original-Nachricht 
 Von: Rafaella Braconi rafaella.brac...@sun.com

 because you don't need the module when you build OOo. This is a separate 
 *tool*. Translations are not lost. The module has just been *hidden* in 
 Pootle. If you want to have it in Pootle, we can have it added in a 
 separate *Extension* project. Just not to mix up modules that need to be 
 translated for OOo and modules that need to be translated to localize 
 extensions or other tools.


Hmm .. good idea. But seems (speaking of extensions) as if we already
have a mix. (e.g. all extensions are in the regular pootle
structure).

Maybe we should not think of external components, but of mandatory
components. The rules for building localized version then will apply
to those mandatory repository only. (E.g. this should not include
the migration wizard or the testtool.)

Re: [l10n-dev] IMPORTANT: Helpcontent changes in m57

2009-09-18 Thread Andre Schnabel
Hi,

 Von: Mathias Bauer nospamfor...@gmx.de

 
 Why another CWS? Couldn't we use the same? And if we did it with
 Mercurial instead of svn it would be easy to handle: provide a
 repository on services.openoffice.org that everybody can clone and where
 changes could be pushed to.

Translators are not developers. So the people who translate 
normally have no idea how a source repository works, how they 
would clone this ... many (if not most) translators don't even know
how their translations make their way into the final product
(it is not really important to translators, as long as the
translation *makes* the way into the builds). 
I'd guess most of our developers even don't have an idea, what our
translation workflow looks like.

The other problem with such a CWS would be, that ~100 people would
contribute to this cws. Although this might be technical possible,
I'd guess this is not our normal way to handle CWSes.

 BTW: that's how I would recommend to work in future anyway. But YMMV.

Yes - we should change the way we we work with translations ... but
I don't think, we would gain much, if translators would directly
contribute to a CWS.

André

PS: If you like and have time, I'm in Hamburg next Thursday. I'd be happy to

Hi Frank,

 Original-Nachricht 
 Von: Frank Peters f...@sun.com

  Namely, I have seen that also changes in English strings are a bit
  frustrating for us non-English localizers - in English strings
  sometimes just fixing a typo makes the string in your language fuzzy,
  but actually your translation should be just fine. But you want to
  make it sure what changed and if translation is ok etc. and you lose
  precious time. If one knew that a typo and English content changing
  CWS is coming one would go translating through it in a different way
  compared to an new strings CWS.
 
 That is hard to catch without having a flag that says I changed
 something, but it's irrelevant to l10n.

In theory, we have this flag. At least the help XML format is prepared
for that. All paragraphs contain an l10n attribute used to specify
the localization status of the paragraph. 
(quote from 
http://documentation.openoffice.org/files/documents/75/499/XMLHelpSpec10.pdf , 
page 15).

In current help files, the attribute is present with different values.
Unfortunately this information gets lost during conversion steps
( xml - sdf - po/xml). As long as we keep thumb sdf as
intermediate file format, we won't get around this problem.

Best,

André

2009-09-18 Thread Andre Schnabel
Hi,

 Von: Uwe Fischer uwe.fisc...@sun.com
 
 this flag means this paragraph is irrelevant for translations or 
 never translate this paragraph. I did not know that this does not get 
 passed over to translators, though. Bad tools design  :-(
 
 What we would need is a flag that says the changes to this paragraph 
 that were done just recently need not go into the translation database.
 But then, if we later change the same paragraph with relevant edits, 
 this flag must be reset automatically.

I think, we have these different flags. The one I mentioned is the l10n
attribute that can have different states. 
But there is also a localize attribute wich can be set to false
(indicating that the element should not be translated at all).

I'm not sure, but I'd guess that such elemnts never make their way
to the sdf files (so these strings a invisible for translators).

Re: [l10n-dev] IMPORTANT: Helpcontent changes in m57

2009-09-08 Thread Andre Schnabel
Hi,

 Original-Nachricht 
 Von: Andras Timar ti...@fsf.hu

 
 With XLIFF there are more possibilities. Tags and variables can be 
 marked up as placeables which means that the editor can make a 
 difference between them and normal text. Currently tags and variables 
 are not marked up in OOo XLIFF files. I wonder why.

A quite simple chicken-egg-problem:
- (almost) nobody is improving XLIFF workflow as (almost) nobody is 
using XLIFF for OOo translation workflow.
- (almost) nobody is using XLIFF for the OOo translation workflow
as the tools have limitation and (almost) nobody is improving
the tools.

 
 With a little effort put into l10n tool development OOo translation 
 experience would improve dramatically. 

After spending some time to improve OLT XLIFF editor and had some
closer look at our toolchain, I would not call this a little
effort. But imo it is the only thing that makes sense.

 I'm using a proprietary tool. The 
 money I spent on it have been re-gained 10 times, because I can save a 
 lot of time. I know it is not an option for everybody. I know that many 
 of you haven't seen better tools than the mainstream open source tools 
 (Translate Toolkit, Pootle, POEdit, Lokalize, KBabel, etc.). I'm afraid 
 that long time contributors will quit due to frustration and new 
 contributors will not come. 

Correct - I once just tried the Swordfish XLIFF editor. Sorry to say 
so, but every team developing an open source translation editor should
be ashamed. Most of the tools have one common problem: they are built
around the limited po file format.

I (we - Germanophone team) were thinking about getting some licenses
of Swordfish. But after all we dropped the idea, because this would
limit our translation team to the numbers of licenses.

Best,

André

PS.: 
If there are some developers with Java skills, knowing about
XML, XSLTs and interested in translation work ... 
https://open-language-tools.dev.java.net/ needs help.

If you are more comfortable with python, help at the translate toolkit
project. I know that the people there are actually interested in better
XLIFF support - but as long as there are no users and no developers
it has low priority.

Re: [l10n-dev] Massive English help stampedo

2009-09-07 Thread Andre Schnabel
Hi Martin,

first: thanks for bringing the issue to the list - I share your
opinion, that these really hurt translators.

But a small side note ...

 Original-Nachricht 
 An: dev@l10n.openoffice.org

...
 
 Just a small regression from a translator's perspective. When you
 stumble upon such a fuzzy string with changed tags and/or unwanted
 blanks added, you do not and cannot know, what other change happened
 in the string. So you are being careful and recheck the translation,
 then repair the tags and remove the spaces. Sometimes you check the
 old po file, to chack what was changed from previous mXX. So in the
 end one changed string like that takes more time from a translator
 viewpoint than translating it from scratch. Please, keep this in mind
 when you decide what to do with changes in m51 and m57 and further
 steps in changing tags in these files. Changing 2000 help strings,
 some intentionally by just replacing tags and some by mistake of
 adding blanks mean same as 2000 new untranslated strings.

let me promote XLIFF a little ;) 
Using XLIFF you have much more information available than with po.
One of the information is the former source string and it's translation.
This actually works with files processed by translate toolkit and
XLIFF editors that are aware of the the alt-translation information.

In reality it would look like this:
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/w/images/1/18/De_l10n_ote_vorschlag.png

You can identify relevant changes quite fast. 
Anyway .. it is still a stupid and boring work. The risk to lose
real changes just by human mistake is high.

 
 So if such tag changes are planned, a special CWS could be created,
 where *all* such tags should be replaced, then all current SDF files
 from all translation teams should be delivered by the translation
 teams to Hamburg where they would use this special super-trouper
 command line tool that would replicate all the tag changes in
 translations as well

 I agree with Frank that it is important to get your feedback and your GO

I have no probelm with rolling back those changes introduced in m57.

As we are working on pootle, we are just doing the translations for

 Hi Andre,
 
 is all in the issue:
 
 http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=98835

hmm .. no.

I meant the full sdf file that contains the m40 en-US strings that were pushed 
to pootle. The issue is about m39.


While fixing the errors in this issue, I tried to creat my own (de) sdf from an 
en-US sdf + translations from pootle. But I was not able to get the same 
results as Aijin delivered in the issue. 

This is not mission critical but would help to identify still existing 
problems in our tools. (E.g. I guess, pomerge broke some of the character 
encodings and maybe matched some translations to a wrong source segment).

 Everyone who is contributing to the OOo localization with translation

Hmm - this is quite different from the last statement I found on the mailing 
list:_

http://l10n.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=devmsgNo=8201

The old statement is indeed about JCA (not SCA, which is not code specific 
anymore). The problem is, the did not ask our translators to send in an 
JCA/SCA, as it was a recommendation. Is this still true or is it now a 
requirement?

In case of being a requirement, we have a problem: two of our main contributors 
to German localisation did not send in a JCA / SCA yet.

[l10n-dev] New Strings after 3.2 UI-freeze (Re: [l10n-dev] Deadline for OOo 3.0 final translations)

Hi,

 Original-Nachricht 
 Von: Frco. Javier Rial fjr...@cesga.es

 I'll assume that version targeted for OpenOffice.org 3.1 is m39 as it 
 was planned..


no ... as the is no special branch yet for 3.1, the code will be branched later 
and 3.1 will contain all changes from m40.

That we have new strings in m40 is just (and once again) caused by breaking 
our proccesses. I did a quick check in EIS and none of the integrates cws seems 
to have a word count - so release engineering may not be aware of new strings.

As I'm neither a expert for release engineering nor for EIS, I'd ask our 
project leads to verify the issue and escalate to the release mailing list.

Hi,

 Original-Nachricht 
 Von: Ankit Patel ankit...@yahoo.com
 
 Looking at the schedule:
 http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/OOoRelease31
 
 I can see that there are very few days between code freeze (29th January)
 and translation delivery (2nd February)?  ...
 
 One more thing I noticed from the schedule is, there is no String Freeze
 mentioned anywhere on the schedule! To me, String freeze is the date, till
 when developers are supposed to make changes to the english messages that
 are localizable. 

In OOo terminology this is UI and Feature freeze. If new strings need to be 
included after this date, this would nee special approval.

I can only once agian ask the l10n project leads to request clarification about 
the new strings in m40.


...
 
 One more doubt I had was, can the translators or language maintainers
 submit their translations till last l10n bug fixes delivery: February 26th,
 2009? OR is the date translation delivery deadline: February 2nd, 2009
 fixed till when translators can submit translations?

Feb. 2nd is the date for regular translation submission. Feb 26th should only 
be used for very urgend l10n/translation bugfixes that would be considered as 
showstopper.

Hi,

 Von: Eike Rathke [EMAIL PROTECTED]

 
 Sorry, it appeared to me that native language projects idealistically
 should have QA representatives, who should be able to tell who is
 responsible for a particular part of their localization who in turn can
 handle it or tell how. This list here of course would be appropriate,
 also NL-leads should be able to tell how to process or whom to contact.
 Olivier's request was unanswered though for 12 days.

Because nobody knows the answer.

 
 I may have misunderstood the nature of the problem. What exactly are you
 referring with help how to fix bugs in localized resources?
 Respectively what was Olivier referring with how do we handle that?
 Judging from his email address and .sig it is about pt-BR localization.


Yes - but this might affect all other localizations as well.

The problem is simple (the answer is not).
Oliver identified a problem in a localized ressources (tmplates, spellchecker 
and maybe others). The question now is where to submit the fixes?

You are right - you may ask native lang project leads. But afaik, noi nl 
project lead has this information. Next step is to ask here (as l10n cares 
about localized resources). Seems, nobody here knows the answer either. 
I remember a similar discussion about localizing templates some months ago here 
at the list (I need to dig my archives to find the outcome).

For spellcheckers - I had the same problem for German dictionaries and asked at 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] The answer I got was that I need someone to create a cws 
and submit the updated spellcheckers to the correct place (I need to dig my 
mails for the localtion, if this info would help).

At the moment it seems, there is no project / subproject who is in charge of 
maintaining spellcheckers, templates ... The only way atm seems to be to find a 
developer who is willing to submit the changes (if she has at least a little 
kno0wledge about where to sumbit).

 Besides the fact that one get tired and is more subject to errors or 
 lack of attention. If I may suggest, I think that +/- 300 strings should 
 be a comofortable size, and if we can implement the split by context it 
 will be even better.

I think, this is the more important thing: split (or athoer way round: join) 
translation files by context. 

You are correct, that it is booring to translate files with thousands of 
strings, not coming to an end. But at the moment we had mor problems to give 
translators work from one context.
E.g. I was trying to give away the translation for the Calc solver. 
Unfortunately the (UI) strings are in about 3 .po-files .. and there are 
strings in these files that do to rely to solver at all. 
so what we did was that on solver expert prepared the translation in a wiki 
(using the solver spec) and i put them into the po-files. Reason for this was 
that our solver expert was not used to translation and it was to time 
consuming for him to locate the solver stringfs in the po files.

Ok .. this is mainly caused by the way how OOo projects splits the po files - 
but if someone knows a solution, this would be of great help. :)

E.g. We do not list Win98 or Solaris 8 as supported platforms anymore - but we

Maybe I still fail to comprehend the difference between the different
build types. On this list Kurdish does not appear, not even in the no
build section. Is this due to Kurdish not being an official language
at Sun?
No ... this has other reasons and a very simple one: no one added the 
information to qa track, that there is a kurdish build available.


Please read the description at the wiki for a description of qatrack:
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Release_QA_Tracking_Tool

Actually, the week point is that a Build Provider needs to tell 
qatrack that a build is available. But no Build provider (but Joost 
Andrae, who does the Sun builds) did request a login for qatrack. And so 
.. no build provider is providing this information.


At the moment, Andrea Pescetti and me are adding new builds .. but we 
would need to scan several places for new builds and add them to qatrack.


Maybe the better way was to remove access restrictions from the build 
provider interface, so that anybody can add new builds (and maybe this 
can even be automated). If someone would like to work on that - qatrack 
is open source ;-)




Like Clytie I was not aware of this step of the procedure. Is there a
similar procedure for languages that will only be covered by Pavel's
builds at ftp.linux.cz? Will there be something like a final relase
for our language? I think the latest build there is rc2.


There will be a final release as soon as (localized) rc2 has passed qa 
and is approved.

Hello Erdal,

if your language is not listed then please ask Andrea Pescetti (the 
maintainer of qatrack) to add it to www.qatrack.org.


The problem is, that kurdish is not available as language in qatrack at 
the moment :-(

[l10n-dev] Migrating to the OpenSolaris TCM

2006-03-30 Thread Andre Schnabel

Hi all,

(just for coordinating the discussion: please answer to [EMAIL PROTECTED] only. 
l10n and native-lang lists are cc'ed for information only here).


as mentioned at the qa list, last weekend several community members had 
the chance to see a presentation about the OpenSolaris TCM. The tool was 
intrododuced by Petr Dudacek and Petr Hruska who showed the TCM in 
Action and could answer many of our questions.


The outcome was, that the OpenSolaris TCM would answer many of our 
wishes and the enhancements would help to improve our testing process. 
So we would like to go on and start migrating to the OpenSolaris TCM.


I have set up a wiki page for coordinationg the migration at 
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/TCM_migration

This is only a draft for the moment.  You are welcome to comment and help.

Migration would be a joint effort of the Sun g11n, Sun QA and community 
QA teams.  Sun g11n team will start to review current test cases for 
incorrect descriptions.
Within this time, we (community) should think about the next steps. E.g. 
all current TCM managers should check the new TCM functionalities and 
prepare the teams for the move. Please request a login to the 
OpenSolaris TCM (if not already done) and take active part in the process.



Related to to this is the definition of test plans. The current 
situation of two sources for test plans (smoke tests on the website and 
test cases in TCM) is far from being perfect. As smoke tests are 
outdated, they would be marked as such and should not be used anymore.
There are several test plans available in the Sun QA team. These are 
mainly for testing new features and more complex than those curently in 
TCM. At the moment we are looking for a good way to make those Testplans 
available but have the option to coordinate the tests within TCM. It has 
been suggested to have the complete testplan at the qa website and have 
it as a test item in TCM.


As always .. comments and help is welcome.

Hi All,

Karl Hong schrieb:

...
Karl, from your perspective, can you may be tell us what you think is 
best?
I would suggest to migrate OOo to OpenSolaris. In this case, test 
cases can be shared. Under new TCM, you can have your own build 
sequence for OOo test cycle, each build only contains OOo testing.


Well .. first I'd like to have some documentation what the items are about.

E.g. I see a GO/No Go report. Looks quite as it was something we would 
nee for Release testing. Scenarios might be related to that. .. but what 
exactly is a scenario?


Second .. would the OpenSolaris TCM answer some of our wishes 
(http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/TCM_wishes)?


From the current perspective OS TCM seems definately better than OOo 
TCM .. but I wonder if it fits our needs.

Re: [l10n-dev] Dutch OOo 2.0.2 Windows/Linux approved

2006-03-09 Thread Andre Schnabel

Hi,

Thanks!!!

Another question, I opened an issue to ask for the distribution of the 
builds to the mirrors:

http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=62986

Is this OK or should I assign the issue to somebody specific?
in general this should be picked up without setting a specific owner. 
You might set st to cc (but afaik he is on vacation atm).


The problem at the oment is, that the master server has no space left :-(

hmm.. wouldn't write this to a public list .. and .. is it our policy to

Hello Ivo,

  

If I choose the wrong user please let me know. It would be nice if we
can add all ooo usernames to the N-L project web page (
http://projects.openoffice.org/native-lang.html ) , it is too
complicated yet to find out  ... Luis,Stefan ?



We can add them there (I can help):
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/NLC
  


as the initial post was about translation, the correct place to find the 
responsible persons was:

http://l10n.openoffice.org/languages.html

You might see, that the responsible persons listed there are distinct 
from the NLC project leads .. what is correct.

[l10n-dev] Help verifiying issues from CWS

2006-02-08 Thread Andre Schnabel

Hi,

we have 197 issues fixed in CWS localisation05, but not all of them are 
verified yet. Those issues belong to german (most of them), hungarian, 
thai, spanish and dutch localisations. Please help to verivy those issues.


A list of issues that needs to be verified:
http://tinyurl.com/9p9gc

Localised CWS bilds are available from
http://oootranslation.services.openoffice.org/pub/OpenOffice.org/cws/upload/localization05/linux/
(These are the same that are used for current TCM testing)

To verify the issues
- download the localised builds
- pick one issue for your localisation
- check, if it is fixed
- if yes - change status to verified (do not close the issues .. this 
would be the next step, when the CWS has been integrated into the master)

- if not - reopen the issue and set the target milestone to 2.0.3.

Please do only check, if the reported issue has been fixed. If you finde 
other problems, file a new issue.


Thanks in advance,

André

Re: [l10n-dev] Deadline for OOo 2.0.1 translations

2005-10-19 Thread Andre Schnabel

Hi Ivo, All,

I'm not very pleased with this dates and the way they have been decided.

German localization is far from beeing perfect. We have many 
inconsistencies in our help. At many places help content still referes 
to 1.x GUI. But all we can do is to file issues, we cannot provide fixes 
for such problems.


So .. because we cannot fix the content ourselv, we actually do not 
know, what has been really fixed and how.  Time from filing an issue to 
getting a fixed versions just to test takes months at the moment.


What I really would like to see is a snapshot with fixes for german 
localization, so we have the chance to test, if we have an improvement.

Hi all,

the last cws integration for OOo 2.0.1 is near, thus please provide 
your translation updates for integration:


The deadline for providing GSI / SDF files is 2005/11/03

Keep in mind that the timeline till last cws integration is very 
tight, so I have to reject all files coming too late.

ok .. I've updated the spreadsheet (which is at

linked yet) with most of the languages from 
http://l10n.openoffice.org/languages.html.


Hi André,

Thanks for the updates, but there needs some changes. Bengali has only 
single build. Neither bn_BD nor bn_IN, only bn. :)


as I have taken the date from the localization page 
(http://l10n.openoffice.org/languages.html), I think, this should be 
corrected there.


Pavel, could you take care of it?
