GIMP master branches on l10n.gnome.org?

2014-11-17 Thread Gil Forcada
Hi all,

currently on l10n.gnome.org if you want an overview of how much
translations you have made on GIMP you can only see the stable (2.8
right now) version of it, but not the master branches.

Would it be ok to also add the master branches to it, so you don't have
to go through all GIMP translation units to see how much are you missing
for the next release?

Cheers,
Gil

Hi,

as a Catalan language coordinator, please fix the language code for
ca@valencia. Is ca@valencia not ca-XV. XV does not mean anything at all.

Re: GNOMECAT and Damned Lies Integration.

2014-05-03 Thread Gil Forcada
Hi Marcos,

TL;DR; go for it!

Anything that eases the translators workflow is always welcome!

As for suggestions/criticism:
- don't try to fill the complete gap but instead go step by step[1]
- fix problems at the right level, i.e. make GNOMECAT be able to push
translations maybe is a bit too much, and Damned-Lies is already able to
push them, so instead of having to do some git magic, just upload the
file to Damned-Lies and order it to push the translation
- make it as easier as possible to test it while you develop: i.e. your
target audience is translators so the easier you make them to install
and try your application, the faster you will get feedback and users
will be more happier :)
- I could go here and ask for ponies, but first get the basic workflow
right and later we can improve it and add more on top of it
- as a personal nitpick: change the name please, as the Catalan
translation coordinator, whenever I see GNOMECAT I read "GNOME
Catalan" :D

It's so great to have you again as a GSOC!!

Cheers,
Gil

[1] So make small milestones that in themselves are already useful so
that if you do not reach the final goal, all the way leading to it is
still useful. Something like:
- allow to enter Damned-Lies credentials
- be able to pick a module to translate
- be able to submit to Damned-Lies a translation

Re: Could someone please commit a new Swedish translation of bijiben

2014-01-21 Thread Gil Forcada Codinachs
Usually the best way to get your translations in git is to make your
language coordinator send an email to this list with the links to the
translations ready to commit.

If the team coordinator says so, anybody with git access can push the
translations. That's usually my only concern when pushing translations from
other languages: that the team coordinator agrees on pushing them.

Gil

Re: Web interface for translation for GNOME

2013-08-31 Thread Gil Forcada
Hi,

Sorry for not replying in-thread and just jumping here to dump my
ideas/thoughts on it...


So to be web-translation or not...

For me the important question here is if it's as an add-on or as a
complete and fixed part of it, I mean, could everyone keep their own way
of working of they must use this new way?

Most, if not all, of our translators in GNOME are also translating other
projects, be it KDE, GNU, apps hosted in Transifex, in Launchpad...

So (IMHO) the most important thing to do is to not get in their way.

If they want to set up their pootle instance and put together all their
GNOME, KDE, LXDE, Mozilla, LibreOffice translations to reuse the pootle
server, fine with me and great for them.

If they use regular D-L workflow (download the po file, translate,
re-upload and so on) fine by me and great for them.

Our user base (Free Software translators) is so diverse and different
from country to country[1] that is quite impossible to get everyone
happy.

On the other side, or even more important, if the developer base
(developers creating Free Software CAT tools) is so small (and on D-L
near to non-existent) I would not expect blue dreams coming true from
their side.

Probably I am talking trash here (and correct me please) but a team that
decides that it would be useful for them to have an online translation
tool could create a project on Launchpad or Transifex, do the
translations there and then just commit the translations to
git.gnome.org. Is that even possible?

Heck, even with the current git mirror on GitHub translators could edit
translations there...

With the above I mean that, please, let's not try to reinvent the wheel
(pootle, transifex and launchpad already provide online translations),
let's try to see how to cooperate, because with the amount of human
resources we have right now, I don't really see the point of debating
about having online translations on D-L.

If someone is coding it *right now*, sure, I will gladly review the
patches, try to understand them and push them, but if that's just a wish
list, the wish will probably have to wait...

Sorry for the long rant.

Happy translating!
Cheers,

[1] D-L comes from a tool created by the French team, still we just got
a mail from a small team as little as 2 translators which of course
wants to spend time translating not developing tools

Hi Fòram,

Just send to this mailing list the list of modules pending to be
uploaded, like say:
https://l10n.gnome.org/vertimus/gtk+/master/po/gd
and any other translation ready to translate.

If you are already the coordinator anyone with commit rights can push
it, if not, just set the workflow status to ready to be committed so
that we know that is already approved by the coordinator.

Well, as you ask:

Please don't get me wrong, we are talking about Free Software projects,
so you are completely free to do whatever you want with the code and
your time, and by no means I want to change you decision, just to get an
idea of the reason...

If there's a GSoC already making a better Gtranslator, why oh why,
should you continue to work on the old one? Why not try to help the GSoC
student? He's going to work on a plugin system, why not help him
architect it so that all the changes you think are needed on the old
Gtranslator are already on the new one?

Cheers and happy coding in either Gtranslator version you happen to
choose to hack on!
Gil!

Re: Damned Lies is not displaying OLPC release statistics properly [for Brazilian Portuguese team]

2013-08-27 Thread Gil Forcada
Hi Enrico,

As for translations hosted on Transifex:
Damned-Lies gets its statistics out of the project VCS (git, mercurial,
bazaar, svn...) while Transifex keeps its own database.

This means that Damned-Lies will update its statistics when someone with
commit access manually downloads the translations from Transifex and
commits them to the project VCS.

So you should ask the project maintainers to commit the translations
that are on Transifex.

As for WebKitGTK+, no idea, it should work (TM) but it isn't (TM).

Cheers,
Gil

Just speaking for me... I would say that whenever I open a file (or choose
the option in the project about that) all untranslated strings are filled
with a 100% match (maybe 90% is ok too) and marked as fuzzy so that they
can be reviewed.

As for the source of matching: local TM I would say or on-line if there's
an option for on-line TMs.

I like the current approach that allows you to move the panels around,
still something like Virtaal that allows you to focus on the translation
(having the translation one next to each other, not below).

Re: Translation application on GSoC

2013-06-04 Thread Gil Forcada Codinachs
Hi!

As everyone says: congratulations!

As for wishes and whistles... well, first of all what's your aim with the
rewriting? Just do a 1 to 1 match with what currently Gtranslator does?

As a GSoC is just a summer I would say that instead of adding all features
that we are telling you, provide a really solid base that can be improved
later on, so libpeas and a completely dockable UI should be top priority
for me.

Also on that base I will say that a great system for consistency checking
(also pluggable too) would be great: not only checking that msgfmt -vc
passes but also that tags are correct and match and so.

On top of that:
- translation memory and glossary support (for both local and online)
- project overview (or being able to work with more than one file)


I hope you take your time to analyze what we replied and come up with a
plan for it :)

Cheers,
Gil

Sure see below:
- gnome-bluetooth and gnome-packagekit (moved from Core to Utils): when
I think about GNOME's Core modules I certainly don't think about
installing apps or connecting to bluetooth. Both are important, sure,
but not as having a session or a desktop shell or a greeter. And as the
name implies, a core is not meant to be alone, but still something
small.

- empathy, epiphany, totem and nautilus (moved from Utils to Apps):
plain and simple, I see them as full-blown apps (not like utility-like
apps like baobab or gnome-disk-utility for example)

- sushi and vino (moved from Utils to Backends): both, for me, fall into
the category of "plugins"/"backend configuration"/"settings", so not a
utility per-se but something that other apps rely on (hence backends)
given we don't have a category named "App helpers" or something better
worded, but I hope you get the idea.

- file-roller, gnome-clocks, gnome-color-manager, gnome-initial-setup,
gnome-power-manager (moved from Apps to Utils): just like I see empathy
as an app, I don't think about these modules as apps. I think about them
(mostly what in Utils) as transitory apps, something you use to reach
your goal, but not the app for your goal.
Say you want to upload the images you get from a mail, you open the mail
with evolution, you extract the tar.gz archive, you quickly browse the
images and finally you upload with epiphany the images to your blog: in
this text, for me I used two apps (evo and epiphany) and used two
utilities (file-roller and eog).


- rygel (moved from Apps to Backends): it doesn't have, at least that
I'm aware (prove me wrong please) any kind of UI, so by no means its an
app for me.

- mutter (moved from Backends to Core Libraries): ok, for this one I
don't have a really strong opinion about, but somehow, given how the
modules are currently split I would say that it fits better on Core
Libraries than in backends...

- folks and gnome-video-effects (moved from Extra Libraries to
Backends): both are powering/helping other apps, and to some that could
be a rough definition of "backend" :)

> 
> Also, I just ran my liedetector script with the following results:

Really curious about the "liedetector" what's that? Could you share it?

If I understand correctly it's a detector of modules that are missing or
non part of what we have in damned-lies and (just a guess) what's on
jhbuild release set? I think it would make a lot of sense to have it as
a django command in damned-lies and make it run like once per week/month
and send a mail to this mailing list about changes.

We need to fix the man-power on damned-lies though...

> this, but whatever, it has a po directory
> gnome-shell-extensions
> gnome-weather
> grilo
> grilo-plugins
> libgsf

For bijiben and gnome-weather I'm not sure about their status (the same
could be said about gnome-music for example) when are they considered
part of "the release set"? Maybe we should send a mail on d-d-l asking
about the official/canonical place where to look what's in and what's
not in (not to be discriminatory on who's out, just to clarify as for
where do we must translate to still be considered and active and
supported language).

clutter-gtk I think is going to be deprecated, but that's just a thought
on top of my head, so I'm not sure it's worth adding (probably, again,
asking on d-d-l).

grilo, grilo-plugins and tracker (maybe even libgsf) probably are
runtime dependencies, so everything works if they are not there, but
something is shown if they are around, which I would say falls out of
"the release set" for me. Again, a d-d-l mail would help clarify their
status.

Finally libsecret for sure, good catch!

> And remove these:
> libcryptui
> gnome-power-manager

libcryptui is getting replaced by libsecret or so, so no problem, but
why do you think gnome-power-manager should no longer be around? I'm
puzzled on that one.

Thanks a lot for taking care of this!

Gil

Modules moved around

2013-05-30 Thread Gil Forcada Codinachs
Hi all!

Today I was looking at the 3.10 release set[1] and decided to do some
module shuffling (only on 3.10, 3.8 is exactly the same - or was not
intended to change anything there at least).

Please take a look at the changes[2] and move them back if there's strong
opinion against some shuffling.

The changes are mostly (probably I will forget some):
- gnome-bluetooth: moved from Core to Utils
- gnome-packagekit: moved from Core to Utils

- empathy: moved from Utils to Apps
- epiphany: moved from Utils to Apps
- nautilus: moved from Utils to Apps
- sushi: moved from Utils to Backends
- totem: moved from Utils to Apps
- vino: moved from Utils to Backends

- file-roller: moved from Apps to Utils
- gnome-clocks: moved from Apps to Utils
- gnome-color-manager: moved from Apps to Utils
- gnome-initial-setup: moved from Apps to Utils
- gnome-power-manager: moved from Apps to Utils
- rygel: moved from Apps to Backends

- mutter: moved from Backends to Core Libraries

- folks: moved from Extra Libraries to Backends
- gnome-video-effects: moved from Extra Libraries to Backends

Seems quite a lot of changes, but I hope it keeps the groups a bit saner, I
would say that Utils (and probably Apps) need a split (and probably also
fro Backends).

On the other hand, Accessibility, Games and Development tools are quite
stable and set I would say.

Opinions, comments, tomatoes?

Note that this doesn't directly indicate a string freeze break, but it

Hi!

Thanks for applying for a new translation team in GNOME!!!

I'm not sure if his applies to your locale but still:
https://live.gnome.org/TranslationProject/NewLanguage

Could you send a translation of say this module:
https://l10n.gnome.org/module/gnome-icon-theme/

So that we can create the team and stats in Damned-Lies (aka l10n.gnome.org:)

Again, thanks for joining the GNOME Translation Project!

Feel free to ask, in this list, as much questions as you run into ;)

+1!

Fine to move to something else, if *really* needed, but having different
kinds of extraction tools and having to build the extraction tool itself
seems overkill to me (and for most of translators I would guess).

It's already easy, but hard for non-geek translators, to preview
documentations (which are just a msgfmt -vc LANG.po && itstool -m
messages.po -o . ../C/*.page) that if we have to ask them to build gtk+
just to get the translation file or to check if the file is
up-to-date...

Hi!

I didn't know that there is a public amagama service? Its API and access
is free and/or open? Where should we point our clients to?

It would be cool to have a gtranslator plugin for it also :)

And integration with Damned-Lies would be... übercool!

and sadly, as I already said, me being father in a week or so doesn't
give me too much confidence on being able to be a proper mentor.
Ocasional help, as I've done by now is what I can mostly offer. So if
you find someone wanting to put more time, Claude and me helping here
and there maybe you can still make it!

Probably the best would be to contact (either chat or mailing list) to
the people updating the website (probably marketing/web/design teams?),
they will know the current status and if GNOME web's testing version is
still somewhere.

Ask them to update the README, so that everyone knows what to do
later :)

Cool!

Now that is fixed, could we also split libgweather so that the locations
is left at the bottom but the ui part is moved to utils or apps section?

Any +1 or -1 on this?

Thanks for all your contributions done and welcome to the new
coordinator!

I hope you find useful the new categorization system that we created
specially for those languages which have a low coverage. That combined
with the reduced PO files should allow you to present something visible
to your friends, family and everyone speaking Tajik soon!

Please ask anything that blocks you or things that you consider should
be improved.

All the best,

That's soo soo cool!

Without having look at the code, but as people already asked about
integrating in D-L, a first approach would be to be able to generate
URL's that already have all the info, so something like:

http://deckard.malizor.org/?module=alacarte&locale=ca_ES&file=...

you get the idea, right? :)

Thanks *a lot* for this amazing tool!!

Hi!

Probably that should be glibc, as most of the locale information comes
from there. The problem is that the APIs on glibc are not that much
targeted to our idea of a central localization point.

For example, the names of the days (Monday, Tuesday...) are all of them
encoded there, but as there is no strict rule on which name should be
the first one appearing on the list of names, no project ends up using
that data, and you can not count with your fingers how many projects
make you translate those strings...

Still, or while trying to push for glibc (maybe) as *the place* to share
this translations, having translations memories do help a lot making
this kind of problems less annoying though.

Cheers,

Hi!

Good question actually, there should be a mechanism on the website to
pull translations from git and show them when browsing www.gnome.org,
maybe this has to be triggered manually, no idea.

Anyone can shed some light on this?

Hi!

Awesome! many thanks to make all this commits!

Just a small advice: if a translation is not on master branch, please
remember to also push that translation to master branch, so that
translations are used for next release of master branch too :)

I already did so and fixed an empty translation on a module (the
translation was missing :)

That will make things really easy then. Start putting them on
Damned-Lies (http://l10n.gnome.org) on the right module and later on
someone with git access will push them (just ask in this mailing list
for someone to push the translations).

Send this mail asking to become the coordinator and add on CC the
current coordinator and ask her to reply confirming that she wants to
resign the coordinatorship and hand it over to you.

Still, as I said two paragraphs above, that doesn't prevent you to keep
uploading translations on l10n.gnome.org so that when the mails are sent
and replied there's already translations to upload :)

Hi!

No, we were, not me at least, about that. It turns out that not only one
language is affected, but more:
http://l10n.gnome.org/releases/gnome-3-6/

The detailed page is always the more correct one though.

If we want features, we will have to KISS[1] :) Extracting data from the
DOAP files is not a big deal at all, damned-lies already does it for
some data, so another field will not be a problem.

But here the bottleneck will be, as usual, the manual work, will
maintainers update their doap week(s) before doing the release?

My take will be to bring it on d-d-l and if they are fine with it, we
should spread the word a bit and trying to educate maintainers to do
this small step to make translators be aware of it.

Coding wise, the simplest thing to do would be a list, sorted by due
date, of modules soon-to-be-released. Generating icals, adding columns
here and there, RSS feeds and more can be done later :)

So, who sends the mail on d-d-l? :)

Re: help for translators

2012-10-28 Thread Gil Forcada
Hi,

Good points, I added it as a item for the next meeting[1].

My take on it would be to ask the maintainers of the tools that generate
the po files on how they could provide that info automatically and then
once that is known, use one app (say Epiphany, gedit...) and make it
output all msgctxt information possible. Once we are happy with these
testbed applications, move to all of them.

Does it look reasonable?

Amazing!!!

I was just about to publish a post that was supposed to end up in planet
GNOME asking for someone to take a look at it and before I was finished
with it it's already fixed!

Many thanks Chris, Martin and everyone else that helped fixing that
bug

Hi, I don't think so... maybe for teams like the Spanish that is already
at 100% on both UI and docs it makes sense to start tracking again
master branches, but for a lot of other languages it does still make
sense to keep 3.6 as the top priority.

Distributions will only start packaging GNOME 3.6 now, so it's already
important to keep translating and improving 3.6 as much as possible, so
that Ubuntu (just released today), Fedora (next month) and all other
distributions that will ship in the next weeks/months have better
language coverage overall.

On November 12th there is a final 3.6.2 which will eventually find it's
way through distributions and packagers, so for me, it still make sense
to keep 3.6 at top and only add 3.8 after that or so.

If you look at it, any translation made to gnome-shell master (already
forked for 3.6) will be seen only see public viewing starting at March,
that's nearly 6 months from now doesn't make much sense to start
hurrying up now for that, let's polish GNOME 3.6 and or do as much extra
apps as possible, they do deserve some attention too.

Hi Duarte,

I would guess that you should send a mail to GNOME administrators or ask
on the IRC channel (#sysadmin) for pointers. But just doing the same
steps as a new account but stating what happened to you will be enough
maybe.

In the meantime, just like other translation teams do, please send a
digest mail with all the pending translations that need to be
uploaded :)

Cheers,

Just like with lots of other commits just-after-branch this one does not

I know I know, we have to tackle that point ... What I was trying to say
was that instead of keeping in the same category the apps and its
libraries (for completeness) if we split them in different categories,
we allow the translators do their job for the most important things
first, and later, once the main UI is completely translated they can
move onto the libraries.

Still, with this dependency declaration we can allow a translator to
really translate everything that needs to have, say Nautilus, show all
strings, no matter where they come from.

Modules split proposal (yeah, another one, sorry)

2012-10-12 Thread Gil Forcada
Hi all,

See attached (right now I do not have Internet to put that on
live.gnome.org at [1]) a new proposal for the modules splitting (related
to bug [2]).

The current proposal is actually really good, but I think it can be even
better (hence my proposal). What I do really don't like is to tie
together the libraries with the apps.

I completely agree that the strings on the libraries are actually seen,
and some of them are quite visible, but if the target still remains to
translate everything, let's make it harder at the end rather than at the
beginning. That way, when you are more than half-way of the translations
and you can **really** see the progress of your work, then, and I think
that only then, make sense to finish up the details of that and that
other string that show up still untranslated.

I know that my current proposal has quite a few rough edges and that it
can be put up-side down with some arguments or points of view, but
having in mind this new translation teams, or even teams that get
usually at 100%, having this small sets of modules makes it more
practical to see what's currently left, what's really urgent and what
can be delayed for later...


ON SMALL MODULES AND METRICS
Another think that I had in mind when creating this new proposal was to
have a way to, at release notes time, say that not only 50 languages are
considered supported, but we could expand that on:
- languages with accessibility support: above 80% on accessibility set
- languages with developer support: above 80% on the 3 development
categories
- languages with basic support: above 80% on Core and Core Apps
categories
- languages with functional support: basic support + 80% on Apps and
Core Backend categories
- languages with complete support: functional + Utilities,
Accessibility, Apps Extras, Games and Backend categories
- languages with full support: everything translated (as it is now)

That way, with this splitting, some translation teams that could have
the desire to start translating the accessibility category (because
there people on that language with disabilities and they need to have it
first) could still be recognized.

The marketing team could do campaigns about developing on GNOME and that
it's really easy because XX languages are supported on the development
tools.

You get the idea, right?

ON STRINGS FROM LIBRARIES
I think that it would make sense to have a way to show that a module X
(say epiphany) depends on strings that comes from Y, Z, A and B (for
epiphany: gtk+, webkitgtk, libsoup, gcr...).

That way, if a translator really wants to go for 100% translation
coverage of a given application (s)he can already see it from the module
page itself.


Sorry for the long mail, but was meant mostly to put some emphasis that
the proposal is not just a random thought when taking a shower, I've
been thinking on it for at least a month or so and have come back to it
for at least a week daily moving pieces around and thinking about the
category names and so on.

That does not mean that modules can not be changed around, of course
they can be, but I hope that, at least the categories, are well thought
enough and will not be completely discarded :)

Happy translating and prioritizing!

= Overview =
The current three categories split (Development tools, Development Platform and
Desktop) does fit for the release team and as a platform overview of
technologies and what's considered part of the platform (stable and API/ABI
guarantees) and what's the desktop (young and experimental not ready for API/ABI
guarantees), but does not fit the way a regular user sees GNOME and interacts
with.

For a translator is more important to translate GNOME Shell than clutter,
because the user will see and interact directly with GNOME Shell, but only
because of a disaster will see strings coming from clutter.

With that in mind, grouping the modules in smaller and more prioritized
categories will help them focus on the most important applications before diving
into libraries and other modules that, still being important, are more rarely
seen into regular day to day usage.

The new categories will be the following (look at the notes on each section):

What could be considered the GNOME UX Core

 * GNOME 3 Core
 * GNOME 3 Core Apps
 * GNOME 3 Apps
 * GNOME 3 Core backend

What could be considered the GNOME environment

 * GNOME Utilities
 * Accessibility
 * GNOME Apps extras
 * GNOME Games
 * GNOME Backend

Everything related to development and libraries

 * GNOME Development Tools
 * GNOME Core Libraries
 * GNOME Extra Libraries

Legacy stuff at the bottom, not a priority at all

 * GNOME 2


== GNOME 3 C

But there's something called layout which *could* break or render

Sorry for the long delay on response :)

More than actually being able to lock strings (which at the end they are
in a text file and can be changed no matter what a header says on a
string) you can use the power of Damned-Lies to be able to see the
differences on a translation.

Then you can use meld for example to download both copies, the old
translation and the new translation and merge the files to remove the
translations that should not be modified.

I already saw two r-t approvals, so if the release team thinks is ok,
then let's set start firing our translation tools :)

gnome-i18n 1/2 approval.

The master branch is already not tied to any release so you do really
have to go to the module and then click on your language to start
translating it.

I would just move (just done) it to the obsolete set and add a warning
that translations are no longer expected and will not be released maybe.

Subject: GNOME Games split
To: GNOME Games List , GNOME Documentation
, gnome-i18n@gnome.org


Hi all,

The GNOME Games module split is now complete; this means that the
gnome-games git repository is obsolete and shouldn't be committed to.
There will be individual releases for each of the games from 3.7
onwards.

The new git repositories are

glchess -> gnome-chess*
glines-> five-or-more
gnect   -> four-in-a-row
gnibbles-> gnome-nibbles
gnobots2-> gnome-robots
gnome-sudoku-> gnome-sudoku
gnomine -> gnome-mines
gnotravex   -> gnome-tetravex
gnotski -> gnome-klotski
gtali   -> tali
iagno   -> iagno
lightsoff -> lightsoff
mahjongg-> gnome-mahjongg
quadrapassel-> quadrapassel
swell-foop  -> swell-foop

Bugs are still tracked in the gnome-games module for now, but they
will be migrated to new bugzilla products once they are ready.

Aside from that it's business as usual!

--Robert

*gnome-chess is not pushed yet as there is an archived module using
this name. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=685539

One possible solution would be to keep switching times: say November at
evening, December at midday and January at morning. That way, in every
major timezone (Asia, Europe and Americas) they will have one that fits
them.

I would argue that weekends will make it easier as you (usually) don't
have to work...

Sorry for being so late replying...

GWOP: GNOME Women Outreach Program
GHOPC: Google Highly Open Program Contest (or some sort, sorry no
Internet connection right now)

And just to generally reply to you: yes consistency matters and the more
consistency we get on en_US the better or easier it will get consistency
on translations too :)

We lack the tools or (wo)manpower to do so though, that's why I
suggested that we could use GWOP and/or GHOPC to get some consistency.

Sorry, that's for bringing back the topic where it started :)

I would guess that the first and safest approach would be to ask on
d-d-l about it. Why does GMenu doesn't have this kind of options
built-in etc..

Which will also solve the mnemonics thing too btw.

The problem on showing both, is obviously that you need twice the space
to show them and if you do not have labels to put them along with both
words and strings counters then users will get more confused, so to boil
it down:
- either one or the other: is simple, does not need much space
- both at the same time: you need labels or visual clues and double the
space to show up to 6 numbers (plus the string/words) instead of only 3
numbers.

> For fuzzy strings, I would use strings, obviously. The amount of words

Well, you could say that as you have to review the original string, the
words are all words from the original, the fuzziness only tells you that
some not-so-random string will appear as a pre-translation.

Coming up with good formula here can be quite tricky (note that I'm not
against it) but as a first approach maybe we can use strings on [1] and
words on [2].

As we will not please anyone if we (not) change the stats showing, a
compromise would be to have a switch (just like we have a "hide
completed modules") to show either strings or words and defaulting to
what I said above (so strings in [1] and words on [2] for example).

What do you all thing? Does that make sense?

Would you mind asking the art/design temas about that? They are the ones
doing the official set of backgrounds for GNOME so... Thomas Wood (thos

IRC Meeting 2012-10-06 21:00h UTC+2

2012-10-06 Thread Gil Forcada
Hi all,

Yesterday we had a great meeting over IRC, around 3 hours long!

Check the lengthy IRC log:
https://live.gnome.org/TranslationProject/Events/IRCMeeting20121006

A summary of it (please add comments and corrections!):
- GNOME 3.6 looked good (translation wise) some concerns were:
-- hard to test due to distributions not being updated enough
-- we hope that GNOME testing initiative (aka GNOME OS) improves by next
release :)
-- some QA guidelines were thought as needed to do translation testing

- new design of http://l10n.gnome.org
-- the RTL situation is not really good but Arab translators will
provide screenshots on how to fix it (help needed thought)

- switching D-L to only show words
-- strong arguments on both sides, more discussion, mockups or subteams
working on proposals would help changing things (if there's a need for
it at all)

- next IRC meeting
-- Gabor volunteers to run it one for next month, we will get news from
him soon hopefully :)

- accelerators on app menus (the thing on the GNOME Shell bar)
-- translators feel uncomfortable with the situation, lots of modules
with accelerators, lots of other modules without
-- will try to get attention from designers and developers to have clear
guidelines (if possible)

- doing another survey for coordinators
-- still not clear what we want to ask to ourselves (a bit philosophical
this one :D)
-- some mail will be sent to this list asking about ideas

- dropping docbook (documentation) translations
-- Gabor volunteered to ask documentation team about their plans

- splitting the big GNOME module set
-- everyone agrees that we have to move it forward, lots of technical
details and design decisions to be made though
-- where to put the line on splitting modules
-- what to use as the mighty 80%

- dead modules
-- that's a big concern we all have, how to make sure translators don't
waste time translating modules that are not maintained or used
-- idea of making D-L send mails to warn maintainers and translators
about a module not being updated/released during a GNOME cycle (6
months)
-- some git sorcery is needed to make D-L work, volunteers welcomed :)
-- Piotr made a new list of dead modules:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=685632
-- discussed some way to make translators aware of it on D-L itself
(showing some sort of banner or warning)

That's roughly it, but please, if you have time, read the minutes, they
are quite valuable :)

Happy translating!

Well, my idea was mostly as an informal way to let everyone know about
it, but not a "you will be chased down if you dare to forget about
updating the branch" kind of thing.

> What about adding a link to the latest commit (from the git log) of the

Sure, file a bug so we do remember it :) The commit hash is not really
shown on cgit interface, maybe the date of that last commit and then a
link pointing to http://git.gnome.org/browse/damned-lies/log/ it could
be more useful?

Anyway, good idea!

live branch

2012-10-04 Thread Gil Forcada
Hi all,

Just a quick note: I created a live branch on Damned-Lies with the only
purpose to make everyone aware of the current code in live server.

That's my answer to a question about if a patch is already on the
server, and thus live for everyone or not :) So if you happen to update
D-L translation and you still don't see it, check that branch and ask us
(Claude and me I think) to update it :)

And please, just like Alexandre has made a lot this past days, report
everything broken, needed-to-be-improved, etc that you find on bugzilla!
That's the only way we can coordinate the efforts to make it better for
everyone!

I think that apart from xdg-user-dirs and packagekit (both external
platforms), everything is pushed.

Hi!

Short answer: nothing :)

Long answer:

You do not have to mark them as active, the activeness in D-L terms
means when they have logged in. So just ask your team members to log in
on D-L and they will become active again :)

+1 That's what I think about it:
- Coordinator is the one that approves translations to be pushed to git
- Only coordinator and any committer are the ones that should be able to
push to git
- In case of no coordinator git access and no committer, the
coordinator, and only him/herself should be the one sending batch mails
with translations ready to push

I put emphasis on this last one because if a random translator for a
random language send translations to push, I don't know the status of
that translation, if is good enough, if has bad wordings, etc etc.
That's why we have coordinators.

And that's the main reason that I think of a coordinator not as a
"emeritus" status but as someone that is there 90% of the time. If you
are not able to coordinate your translation community and be sure that
translations, when ready, are pushed to git, that coordinator should
start looking for a replacement.

At the end of the day, a translation not pushed is time wasted because
users will not see it. A coordinator has to make sure that everything
goes as smoothly as possible ;)

Please, keep the discussion calm, if he asks for some time and has
already send you some comments, please read them and take the needed
action and continue translating GNOME! There's no need to wait for him,
there's a lot of translations still to do for Kyrgyz[1].

Anyway, you both should discuss that privately I think and let us know
if we need to help in any way or another.

Cheers and have fun translating!

Hi,

No need to desperate or be sad! Keep translating and attaching
translations to l10n.gnome.org, if in a week Timur has not replied, we
will make you the new coordinator for Kyrgyz and then you will be able
to ask on this mailing list to upload your translations.

Remember to send the mail in a week, just replying to this one, so that
we acknowledge that Timur is not responsive and that we can appoint you
as the new coordinator.

Happy translating!

I'm afraid that, unfortunately, translators would be hammering their
preferred input method translating GNOME 3.6 which is around the
corner...

Would make sense to release a 4.0.1 a week or so (with another,
appreciated btw., notice like this one) after GNOME is out?

That would give you quite a lot of translations more I would guess (at
least the Catalan one for sure :)

Cheers,

I'm not sure if it's so important or that it can wait until .1 ... I'm
deferring responsibility on the i18n side, but if you get a first +1
consider this the second one.

Hi Shankar,

Could you elaborate that in a bugzilla report? :)

Hi Stefan,

Congratulations for a new release ;)

As I haven't seen any announcement but I see that you already have a
translation, would you like to have seahorse-sharing in l10n.gnome.org
so that translators can start translating it?

To translators, right now is quite small: 97 words (22 strings).

Given that it can be a potentially visible bug and it's only an easy
string I would give my 1/2 i18n approval.

Go try to find the other approvals!

You should CC also the gnome-i18n mailing list ;)

Done with this email.

Anyway, keep translating while waiting for his (non) reply.

Fully agree, another reason to make damned-lies be able to generate one
and use it while pre-translating the downloadable po files, so that you
will already see them fuzzy.

Sure, social engineering, but if we can solve in our way, local TM,
damned-lies pre-translating... we will not need to ask developers to
update their code.

That's another issue that I would really like to see happening, someone
stepping in and adding some cohesion/consistency to original strings. a
GWOP/GHOPC would be really useful here. Anyone stepping in to do
administrate it? :)
