Facility to lock strings for further editing
Hi I have filed a bug, I feel that it will be good to improve our translation experience and native users' usability: https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?37236 There is a great need to provide facility in .po file to lock the strings for further editing. It is always very difficult for a coordinator or commmitter of any project to track change of all the translation again. So there should always be a facility so that a coordinator or a community can lock the strings so that file can be translated/editable only for new or fuzzy strings. The benefit of this facility is great. Assume, if one community thinks that present translation of 'gedit' is fine for their locale, the community can lock all the strings or some strings where they are having consensus that these are fine. In this process the usability will be increased much and review will become very easier. regards, -- Rajesh Ranjan Kramashah___ gnome-i18n mailing list gnome-i18n@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-i18n

Sorry, a few hours left to my long vacation was in a bit of hurry. :( We need both UI freeze break and string announcement for 672554 as it adds a new button at the wizard's review page that says Customize...

If other langs have teams in LibreOffice and KDE, talk about GNOME translation. This is politically sensitive, because this could look like poaching. Better to contact translation coordinators and downstream translators (particularly Ubuntu translators). . . . /quote There are many good reasons to pursue closer coordination and cross-polination with the LaunchPad-based Ubuntu L10n community, in particular. They are a large community with a wide variety of languages and they co-host a large number of Gnome originated packages. Significant levels of (DL and LP) dual citizenship already exist. I would like to make a couple of specific proposals about methods that could be pursued in the outreach effort with regard to the LP-based Ubuntu L10n community. 1) Provide a DL - LP cross mapping I suggest the creation of a LaunchPad co-hosted Release Set on the Damned Lies server, similar in function to the OLPC Release Set that was created by Claude Paroz and that I maintain. http://l10n.gnome.org/releases/olpc/ The purpose of this is to provide a quickly visible set of summary statistics and quick links to packages that are hosted on both the Damned Lies server (DL) and Ubuntu LaunchPad (LP). Ideally, this release set should be maintained by someone involved in coordinating Ubuntu translation efforts on LP (at an overall Ubuntu level, not necessarily at a language-specific level). What would this accomplish and why is it a win-win? DL-based localizers (particularly those with an Ubuntu affinity) can easily prioritize Ubuntu dependencies for completion in their DL work. LP-based localizers can easily identify opportunities to upstream their work to DL and thereby reach a larger audience (e.g. other Gnome-using distros) and leverage their efforts more widely. This should particularly appeal to language loyal localizers, although I'm sure the notion of sharing Gnomey ngoodness will also motivate some. LP-based localizers can benefit from working on the DL master branches of packages as a means of pre-localizing packages that, when released as stable, will make make their way into LP and Ubuntu. Even though the Ubuntu focus may be on an older stable release, by working on a DL master branch, they are getting ahead of the game, which will allow them more time to focus on Ubuntu-specific strings that change within an Ubuntu release cycle. I have attached a spreadsheet that is a first pass at mapping Gnome DL project pages to Ubuntu (Quantal) LP project pages. I have not done a drilldown to the specific release level. I think the focus should be on master as the issues of version lag are pretty much a wash after a few cycles as long as you focus on the master branch. The one exception is where it looks like LP tracks a Gnome2 version separately from a Gnome3 version, in those cases, I've left a blank cell following the Gnome package name in the first column and added both links in the LP column. I did this match by scanning: http://l10n.gnome.org/module/ and https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/quantal/+templates I would welcome it if someone else would review these links and the spreadsheet to correct any mistakes and add anything I may have missed in this quick and dirty review. BTW, this sheet is more-or-less the start of the LaunchPad co-hosted Release Set list. 2) Exchange diplomatic delegations and credentials. Having a formal (or informal) back-channel for DL coordination team to LP coordination team communications would be very useful. This is not meant to be the only channel of communications and does not replace filing tickets in each others bugtrackers, etc., but it could be very useful for planning higher-level joint activities or drawing focused attention to specific issues of mutual interest. One such example might be: To her Excellency the Ambassador Plenipotentiary of the Empire of Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Edubuntu and outlying islands from the Legation of the People's Republic of Gnome. Hey you folks have a lot of African language projects that don't have glibc locales yet. Can we work together to fix that? Regards and Felicitations. Your Loyal Servant, etc. etc. etc. 3) Address identifiable language team level opportunities for better cooperation (specifically, weak uplinks from LP to DL) I can
