Anyway keen on taking over i18n-coordination-list?
Hi all! Due to life and time I am currently not able to manage i18n-coordination-list. If anybody else wants to do it, please step up, otherwise I would probably propose the list for removal as it hasn't been used a lot in the past year. 5 posts overall, 3 were CC to gnome-i18n.

Coordination-list, still needed
Hi all! Do we still need the i18n-coordination-list that was used by the gnome-i18n coordination time sometimes when matters should be discussed publicly? The background is that a lot of spammers try to subscribe to the list which obviously fails because it is invitation only, but causes massive mail traffic and annoyance for me.

Re: Kyrgyz po file
Hi Chngis! Nobody hear doubts that you produce high-quality translations but open-source software is about review, trust and reputation. Nobody on this list can speak your language so *we* cannot check if your translation is ok, only your coordinator can, and I am pretty sure he will do so as soon as possible. If in the end he thinks that your translation are really high-quality he might give you more rights to push them right-away but that's the coordinators decision. Thanks for your patience.

It adds two string (just for reference):
+Main.notify(_("Your chat status will be set to busy"),
+_("Notifications are now disabled,
including chat messages. Your online status has been adjusted to let
others know that you might not see their messages."));
As the IM status/Notification status in gnome-shell was a real mess in
3.0 I think that change might help a lot and as we still have one
release candidate it should be enough time for the two strings.
So 1 of 2 from i18n. But I think you should definitly ping the docs-team
about it as this should be convered in the docs.

This is completely against the usual workflow for the GNOME release process. A releate-x-y (or better gnome-x-y) branch means that this branch will be used for the stable x.y.[1,2,3,...] releases and that strings are frozen in that branch. This way translators can update their translation if they have be incomplete in a minor release. The master branch is (usually) not string frozen and contains new features, etc. Generated files shouldn't be in git at all - they should be in the release tarballs only. It would be nice if you could adapt that workflow as it is useful not only for translations.

As there are still "rules to be defined" for the applications included, this is difficult to tell. However, I think at least a list of release dates would be helpful as long as it can be generated automatically from GNOME releases and only those modules that have other dates would need to update them accordingly (which could send a mail to gnome-i18n). The documentation part seems difficult to me because it is always hard to tell how up-to-date documentation is. But it would be nice to have a marker that says "Don't translated, this is outdated/being updated".

Re: String additions to 'nautilus.master'
Hi Cosimo! > + "Copyright © 1999-2011 The Nautilus authors" Technically your commit (http://git.gnome.org/browse/nautilus/commit/?id=acce5e1c70e10ef550cfed888a852e5048dc4b3d) broke string freeze as you changed the year from 2010 to 2011. It's nothing major as it only appears in the about dialog but still please be more careful next time because as you made the tarballs already, the translators have to chance to reach 100% for nautilus for the 3.0.0 release. Please respect string freze in the future!

Re: download-dir setting not being respected
Hi Xan! It would be great if you could take care that the string recovered from the old translations, at least for those languages that have 100%.

Overall this is considerable really late but I assume that the release-team has great interest in releasing with a 3.0 panel and as such I won't be in that way.

(...) Be sure that the i18n team knows that GNOME 3.0 will not be a shiny example of how releases and freezes should work and we really approved many (all?) freeze break requests coming from gnome-shell and other core modules. We really don't try to make everybody live more difficult than it already is. But I would still kindly ask everybody to follow the rules we have set for years now and that have proven to be extremely useful. Nobody has even mentioned that commit to be reverted as it is in for some time now anyway and most likely translated anyway by some teams already. But by asking you would have received valuable information that would have been easy to integrate in the commit. Touching it now to add comments (which will still hopefully happen after the release) is additional work for everybody. I hope you see my point and I am totally aware that some people are working day & night to get GNOME3 out.

OK, took a look a the strings and those look good. However, the
translator comment that backed
g_option_context_set_summary (context, _("Package Name Installer"));
and
g_option_context_set_summary (context, _("Package File Installer"));
are no longer at the (first) position of these strings. In general this
strings don't really sound like a good summary to me. But I would at
least like to have the comments
/* TRANSLATORS: program name: installs a package (or packages) by name
*/
and
/* TRANSLATORS: program name: application to install a package to
provide a file */
back and updated. The new string "Software install" hardly needs a
comment while it has two different at the moment.
If you fix that, 1 of 2 from i18n.

Johannes

In general I think it would be really cool if Evolution/camel would just detect that kind of server and automatically do "The right thing"(tm) instead of needing user interaction but I don't know if it is easily possible.

Basically this string exists in an untranslated version and a translated version and both are matched.
