Hmm.. would it be due to low memory. It would seem to to me.

But it should still be fairly easy to split the po file manually into
two and then merge them later.


It is an option.



However, Leandro has a point from the participation POV as well. I  
have noticed that new translators, in particular, are intimidated by  
large files.


We have much more chance of gaining participation if we split the main  
file into several, smaller files. The task looks more doable, less  
large and complex for newer translators.


Even for more experienced translators, smaller files work better. If  
you have an hour or two to contribute, you are much more likely to  
spend it translating a couple of hundred strings in a single file,  
which you can then complete and submit, than in translating only a  
small part of a much larger file, which then must lie around on your  
disk waiting for you to have more time to complete it, while your  
partial translation becomes out of date.


(Yes, I know you can send in a partial file via source control, for  
example, but it's not as satisfying as completing something. Also, if  
you have used your compendium, a partial file has a lot of fuzzy  
strings in it: I don't know about you, but I won't submit any file  
which still has fuzzies.)


I myself always translate the smaller files first, because I can get  
them finished and submitted and into use. I am sure that applies to  
others, as well. ;)

[Inkscape-translator] Arabic translation started

2008-02-22 Thread M. Bashir Al-Noimi

Hi All,


In the following link you'll find latest Arabic translation.

http://mbnoimi.net/w/wp-content/uploads/inkscape/ar.po.bz2


from now, every Saturday I'll send latest translated strings till 
finishing translation process for whole strings in Inkscape.



_*Important note:*_

After compressing PO file (51KB), I couldn't send it by e-mail cuz 
sf.net maillist limit sizes  to 40KB per e-mail, Is there any solution 
for this problem?

It depends on how much work remains to be done before we can release,
but 1-3 weeks is typical.

Seems like it is only 5am PST so I should be able to do it this
evening GMT and still be on time :-) I would appreciate some code
pointer tough :-)

I was planning to add keyboard shortcuts to Tweak tool tooltips, but
won't be able to commit changes until Sunday/Monday. Could somebody
please do that for me?

http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/ReleaseNotes046#Keyboard_shortcuts

There are two ways to do it:

1. Easiest - just fix tooltips directly.
2. More difficult - fetch them automagically the way it is done in
tools toolbar.
