The point is, damned-lies gives a nice statistical overview of the
current translation state, but it does not provide any histroy,
unless I am mistaken.

Anyways, I do not want to argue. For the sake of providing just
some numbers, feel free to go ahead.

I have taken a brief look at pology.
This looks like a sophisticated approach to me.

Notwithstanding that this particular thread is concerned with giving numbers
for the sake of giving numbers (which gives me creeps :), certainly very
little can be seen from number of commits. But, on the other hand,
meaningful metrics ("number of words translated") is not straightforward to
define either. Given an older and a newer PO file, one must differ between
completely new messages, modified messages (what is a modified message?),
and messages to which only translation was modified (review modification).
For example, if a paragraph-length message got only one-two words changed in
original, it should not be counted as translated from scratch. Then, more
basically, how to define a "word", given that messages contain various
constructive elements (formatting directives, accelerator markers, markup),
which are not words proper but do require attention and hence add to
translation effort.

At any rate, I've tried to define a measure of "nominal number of newly
translated words" (NNTW) between paired PO messages (and also how to pair
messages from two PO files). Algorithmic details are somewhat convolved, but
the general idea is that NNTW represents equivalent effort of translating
clean text from scratch. The tool which calculates NNTW is part of Pology (
http://pology.nedohodnik.net/ ), a PO diffing script run in special mode on
two PO files or directories of PO files:

  $ poediff -U foofile-older.po foofile-newer.po
  $ poediff -U foodir-older/ foodir-newer/

It can also run directly on a Git repository:

  $ cd gnome-games
  $ rev1=$(git rev-list -n 1 --before='2011-07-01' master)
  $ rev2=$(git rev-list -n 1 --before='2011-10-01' master)
  $ poediff -U -c git -r $rev1:$rev2 po/
  nominal newly translated words: 10030

How PO messages are paired can be checked in the PO diffing section of
Pology user manual, and how NNTW is computed on pairs in
cats_update_effort() function in poediffpatch.py file in Pology sources.

I second that.
Number of lines in a "git diff" does not show much in a git commit.

.po files keep track of the filename and line number where the English
string came from. If the programmer adds a line to the top of a file
all the strings in the .po file will have their line number changed.

At least you need to filter out changed lines that start with a "#" (a
comment) if you plan to use that metric.

This makes .po commits huge (lots of useless diffs) even when you're
translating just one new string.

I only used the modules on
http://l10n.gnome.org/languages/ca/gnome-2-32/ui/ and only for UI (/po)
maybe this is the source or my 2132 and yours 6182?

I will take a look tomorrow. Thanks!

My point in this was that for "real" and meaningful statistics we
already have damned-lies, so if you want to see any data regarding a
language, module or release set go there and figure it out.

But the quarterly reports are meant to be a general overview of the
projects, so a general overview of i18n and l10n teams is how many
commits have been made.

Just take the QA team as an example: they can say that in a given
quarter there has been 500 bugs closed and 4000 open. What does that
mean for QA team? Mostly nothing because half of the 500 closed could
come from a project which was abandoned and half of the 4000 open could
be from a project imported.

It is just giving numbers for the sake of giving numbers. To feel that
something is moving and that there are translators working all year long
trying to improve each of them their own language statistics and
quality.

Hi

I tend to strongly disagree here; very little conclusions can be drawn
from looking
at the numbers of commits, even considering the total number of strings
updated
in a 6 month release cycle.
Commits can be anything between adding yourself to the list of
translators
and adding a new, entirely translated file of fivethousand new strings,
I do not 
see the benefit of looking at the number of commits. Correct me if I am
wrong.

Is it not just the plain number of words in strings translated that
matter?
Or less precise, the number of strings translated?

You missed the 3rd quarter by one month. :)

I tried similar stuff for my "Projects in need" talk at GUADEC 2010.
My (untidy & probably partially wrong) scripts are available at
http://people.gnome.org/~aklapper/guadec2010/ .

For any commits in /po and those git branches either defined by the
jhbuild 3.4 moduleset or git master if not listed in jhbuild, I get 6182
commits for Q3/2011 for GNOME Git.

The shell script that I used is attached.

Hi,

I created a dummy script that counts how many commits has been made[1]
during a period of time.

It still misses lots of things:
- use the correct branch for that period of time
- per-language metrics
- documentation commits
- ...

The rough number just using the master branch from 2011-06-01 to
2011-09-01 is: 2132 commits.

Feel free to hack on it. As you can see on the code everything is done
by the fantastic git log command:
git log --abbrev-commit --pretty=oneline --since @{2011-06-01} --until
@{2011-09-01} po  | wc -l

So no black voodoo was required :)

I think that this kind of activity metrics would be very useful to have in
the report, but then again, I don't have the spare time needed to study how
to actually get the data, unfortunately.

Ahh, then I understand. But as long as we agree on that, commits are
still a somewhat useful activity metric. If you are updating a fully
translated desktop and ends up with a fully translated desktop, then a
commit should roughly equal the following number of strings:

number_of_updated_strings_per_cycle/(number_of_modules *
number_of_updates_per_module_in_a_cycle)

For non-100% languages there should also be a growth factor in there
somewhere.

But the point is, that as long as non of those numbers changes
dramatically from one cycle to the next, number of commits should still
make a reasonable number for translator activity _comparison_ between
cycles.


In any case, if we want a real number bad enough. I should certainly be
possible to pull the po-file from before and after the commit and use a
podiff tool to count the changes.


Actually my idea was mostly to get a general feeling on how much do we
commit in general and maybe on per language, that way if we start seeing
less and less commits from the French team we can ask them about that or
trying to help them in some sense.

And also, as the quarterly reports are meant to be an overview of each
team, this kind of metrics are quite useful in general terms (obviously
not as a qualitative/quantitative metric for the translation project
team).


I think we are talking a bit past each other. My point with the first 
point was exactly, that the number of commits should make a perfectly 
reasonably metric for _comparisons_ of activity, which can be used for 
the kind of "general terms" measurements that you are talking about.


The last part was just general ramblings about how precise metrics could 
be achieved, in case that is required for this purpose or in general.

Actually my idea was mostly to get a general feeling on how much do we
commit in general and maybe on per language, that way if we start seeing
less and less commits from the French team we can ask them about that or
trying to help them in some sense.

And also, as the quarterly reports are meant to be an overview of each
team, this kind of metrics are quite useful in general terms (obviously
not as a qualitative/quantitative metric for the translation project
team).

Cheers,

Ahh, then I understand. But as long as we agree on that, commits are 
still a somewhat useful activity metric. If you are updating a fully 
translated desktop and ends up with a fully translated desktop, then a 
commit should roughly equal the following number of strings:


number_of_updated_strings_per_cycle/(number_of_modules * 
number_of_updates_per_module_in_a_cycle)


For non-100% languages there should also be a growth factor in there 
somewhere.


But the point is, that as long as non of those numbers changes 
dramatically from one cycle to the next, number of commits should still 
make a reasonable number for translator activity _comparison_ between 
cycles.



In any case, if we want a real number bad enough. I should certainly be 
possible to pull the po-file from before and after the commit and use a 
podiff tool to count the changes.

number of commits does not really reflect the amount of work nor
progress. The following command will print the number of commits that
touch po/vi.po on branch master

git rev-list master -- po/vi.po | wc -l

Hi Petr,

At this momment, the Spanish team is the only one which has reached the
100% in Gimp Documentation, thanks to the good work of Ignacio Ant, who has
done a great work translating this documentation.

Concerning word statistics, it isn't working properly. I think its not a
good idea to inculde it in the report.

Cheers

Hi Petr

I'm not sure exactly what the timing is, but I think the end of the
Outreach Program for Women was in the third quarter of the year. That
might make it appropriate to mention the completion of the first
localisation intern as part of the outreach program. Priscilla worked on
Zulu localisation and improved things from about 4% coverage to about
10% coverage.

Thank you for the work on the report.

Keep well
Friedel

Some possible notes:

- GNOME 3.2 was released and all teams were busy on that?
- few improvements on Damned-Lies (word statistics for example)

We could try to ask the git statistics gurus to make some numbers on how
many commits the whole translations teams have been made, so that it can
be shown in the quarterly reports... I would like to do that, I have to
find how to do it thought :)

Hi list,

It's the time of year again when the next GNOME quarterly reports are due,
this time for Q3 2011, i.e. from July to September.

What do you think should be included in the update from the i18n team?

Your thoughts, suggestions or comments are most welcome!

2010 Q3 GNOME Quarterly Report

2010-10-16 Thread Petr Kovar
Hi all,

It's October, so we are asked to provide a GNOME Localization update for
the upcoming 2010 Q3 GNOME Quarterly Report. The draft that I've made up so
far follows. If you think something is not correct or missing (I have a
feeling it might not be perfect), please feel free to share your feedback
and suggestions, or simply edit the text directly at:

http://live.gnome.org/GnomeMarketing/QuarterlyReports/2010/Q3

(This page is a change from the past when it was required to send update
drafts directly to Stormy.)

Thanks!

Best,

Localization

On July 29, Andre Klapper represented the GNOME Translation Project at the
AGM meeting at GUADEC with a Project update report. At GUADEC, he also gave
a talk on "Identifying software projects and translation teams in need"
where he provided an overview of interesting data combined & gathered from
Damned Lies, GNOME Bugzilla and other relevant sources.

Gil Forcada, with the feedback from other community members, conducted the
GNOME I18N Survey by sending a questionnaire on August 13 to every GTP
language coordinator, and collecting answers for two weeks. Out of 120
coordinators, 36 answered. The rationale behind the survey was to know each
other within the GNOME translation community better, and thus to find ways
the GTP can improve the overall experience of translating GNOME.

The sent questionnaire consisted of more than 20 questions on various areas
of community l10n in GNOME, e.g. inquiring about general team information,
coordinatorship & membership, team workflow, QA processes, use & evaluation
of GNOME Damned Lies infrastructure, collaborating with downstream
translators, other translation teams, and language institutions, community
knowledge sharing, etc.

As for the GNOME development itself, GTP language teams have been busy
working on providing l10n support for the new GNOME stable release 2.32,
which was delivered on September 29. GTP has been also investigating
approaches to help out language teams that seemed to be considerably short
on manpower and/or proper coordinatorship, this included the Persian and
Welsh teams.

We also communicated with GNOME developers to try to solve i18n issues with
translating strings within submodules, strings with constructed sentences,
and some other problems that (re)appeared during the Q3 period.

During Q4, apart from working on l10n support for the upcoming GNOME 3,
GTP community aims for identifying issues with the current i18n & l10n
infrastructure inside and outside the GNOME Project, like the Git commit
functionality, and solving them, hopefully implementing the necessary GTP
support for repositories hosted at git.gnome.org and elsewhere. This is to
be done in conjunction with the Release Team's proposal for moduleset
reorganization.
