 but I still have no idea how that helps with my LO problem

You want gd package for LO of ubuntu packages.
The official packager for ubuntu (Björn) already told that for
official repo it's too late since it was already in feature freeze,
but instead he'll try his best to add it to the ppa he also maintains.

And indeed in package details of
https://launchpad.net/~libreoffice/+archive/ubuntu/libreoffice-4-2/+packages
for libreoffice-l10n pagage there is

libreoffice-l10n-gd office productivity suite -- Scottish_gaelic
language package

in the list of built packages. So if you want gd package/localization
with ubuntu's LO packages → use the ppa.
4.2.6 rc2 is available with gd language.

Re: [libreoffice-l10n] LO on Ubuntu

2014-04-09 Thread Michael Bauer

Rene,

In all the time I've been localizing, there wasn't a visible hint 
anywhere that I need to check *debian* to make sure that LO will be 
available on *ubuntu* in our language. slaps forehead, silly me. Add 
to that that I'm a localizer first and foremost and couldn't program a 
dot dancing across the screen to save my life, I wouldn't dream of 
assuming to know where to look to make sure the right switches have been 
flicked. I could give you a good dozen examples where I made an 
assumption like that which turned out to be *sensible* but not correct. 
Like the assumption Launchpad communicates with upstream projects...


So while I appreciate that it's a good thing if people try finding the 
answer to obvious questions, I would urge a little bit more forbearance 
towards non-developer localizers asking about technical stuff.


Coming to the links... thank you. But what do they mean?

Many localizers are a bit like Sid the Sloth... we see a po file, we 
translate it. It's one of the greatest fallacies of open source 
localization projects that translator = localizer = developer. Most 
'just want to translate into their language' to get a certain program in 
their language.


All these things may be obvious to developers who have been doing this 
for a long time but there's no 'map' out there for 'just localizers' to 
explain all these pitfalls (like a noob localizer has any clue about the 
LO/OO rift and what the relationship between Debian and Ubuntu and 
Canonical is; that's like me assuming you know that lenition is 
*obviously* blocked after a historical but no longer visible dental) and 
that leads to a great amount of wasted translation work gathering mould 
in the dark corners of the web.


Assuming that localizers should (or will) on the whole learn about these 
things falls under 'nice but probably not going to happen' so anyone who 
wants these localizations to work effectively ought to consider 
'translators' and not 'developers' as the target audience when composing 
localization documentation. Translators are not stupid or don't care 
(why else would we be translating for free otherwise...) but if their 
primary skill was development stuff, they'd be developers, not 
translators. Would be a good thing if we accepted that different folk 
have different strengths and weaknesses and to try and make those work 
together smoothly.


  
it's already there (ok, not in a released, stable one, but thatwon't happen

for some months to come)

1) en-US has to be the first. at least had to be in the past for configure
to actualy do the right thing.

2) we want tzpo have a choice what to include and what not. that means not ALL
languages which mightz be too less transalted ans increase the build 
time/uplload time/...

3) we need a list for packaging it  up, do the package descriptions from etc.
 We d*doÜ have custom rules which need to iterate over all the languages and
 do stuff. (And we have rules to fix upstream brokeness up and to merge ca and 
ca_XV. Wouldn't be possible or would be more complex with ALL there.

There is not reason to get aggressive here. ;)

The situation is as follows:
- I would rather not diff from Debian to much on the set of l10ns, there is
  little reason for a good l10n not also being build on Debian too
- Im not the Debian maintainer -- thats really Renes call

So Id like to see Renes reply and only if he denies it for some reason that I
consider unjustified, I will do a Diff to Debian. I consider that unlikely as
Rene is quite a reasonable guy(*).

Best,

Bjoern

(*) However, it _might_ be that Rene would prefer a bug report on Debian over
rambling on a mailing list. Just like I do usually FWIW -- it makes it
easier to keep track of the multitude the little things to take care of.

Re: [libreoffice-l10n] LO on Ubuntu

Hey Bjoern,

There is not reason to get aggressive here.;)
I was mostly exasperated, sorry if it came over aggressive, it wasn't 
meant to be.


The decentral nature of open source software may be part of its strength 
but for localizers, especially those of a small to tiny locale and/or 
team with loads of translation expertise but little in the way of 
developer skills, it's like trying to navigate a heavily mined swamp 
semi-blindfolded in deep fog. You start off with the (reasonable to my 
mind) assumption that you translate and then 'stuff happens'. So you 
knuckle down and translate.


But you then suddently find out everything is not as it seems. Like 
finding out the Launchpad doesn't coordinate with upstream or that it's 
not possible to purge bad translations or globally block rogue 
translators. That you don't just have to translate the WordPress po 
files but also have to build your own packs. Or in this case here, that 
assuming that since LO is bundled with Ubuntu, that it would also come 
up in the language of choice - and once we got past that point, that 
even a 100% complete localization does not necessarily result in an 
automatic inclusion because you are supposed to know (how, I'm not sure) 
you have to coordinate with Debian somehow. How many other locales are 
similarly excluded I wonder?


In a sense I'm not surprised we get so many dormant projects for 
lesser-resourced locales - or indeed a complete lack of l10n efforts 
from certain corners. The lack of l10n coordination is a real problem 
and with the proliferation of platforms, it's probably going to get a 
lot worse. That's why I was kind of throwing my hands up in despair.

LibreOffice versions from the PPA only have 12 l10ns as there is no space for
more on those builders. This should be solved soon with:

What changed? I used to get Gaelic via the PPA as far as I remember. Did 
they really axe all but 12 locales *recently* in that case?

[libreoffice-l10n] LO on Ubuntu

2014-01-16 Thread Michael Bauer
Right... alle Jahre wieder, as the Germans like to sing at Christmas. 
Ran an Ubuntu upgrade (with the system language being Scottish Gaelic 
and above English in the list of language choices in Ubuntu). Installs 
LO 4.1.3.2 and suddenly I'm back to having LO in English (USA) and 
Gaelic has gone completely.


Anyone have any ideas of what went pearshaped and whether it's a LO 
problem (beyond the continuing lack of a decent post-installation 
language selection option) or an Ubuntu problem in case I need to file a 
bug?


Most fixes on the web just talk about setting the system-wide language 
settings.


Cheers

Michael

Hmm...

It sounds like you installed LibreOffice via an Ubuntu repo, in which
case this sounds like it would be an upgrade-related bug for
Canonical/Ubuntu to handle.
