Re: String freeze break request for gnome-initial-setup
I'm a committer of Chinese simplified team. Ping ? Can we get a yay or nay on this from the translators ? I don't know how many Gnome translators have subscribed the i18n list. Maybe they prefer be silent, I'm personally a little unhappy with your messages again and again to break string freeze. I'm hesitant to approve this. Many translation teams have not yet finished updating translations for 3.12, and we have only a couple of days left. Maybe other coordinators feel different. Actually short after the scheduled string freeze, our zh_CN team have finished 3.12 translation. But since then, you developers are keeping changing strings. Though easy to update and commit, I personally decide to wait for the silence of your mails before fixing them. Yes we translator should follow your pace. But can your work be more predictable? If the release schedule is something to break so freely, why do you set that? And, before the string freeze, for a long time, I saw few string change announcements. I don't know if it's a habit to leave the string changes to the last minutes? I do think there should be better communication between developers and translation teams (at least team coordinators) here. For example, give a banner on top of Damned Lies about your activities, plans and instructions for translation (please translate after MM/DD, translate xx branch now, etc.) Just my personal opinion. ___ release-team@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/release-team Release-team lurker?

Re: String freeze break request for gnome-initial-setup
Ok, thanks for the feedback - we've decided to leave the geolocation support out of gnome-initial-setup for 3.12.0 - it will land on master shortly, after we've branched off gnome-3-12. ___ release-team@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/release-team Release-team lurker?

Thanks for the feedback everybody -- it's fine to postpone it to 3.14. We just wanted to see how the translators team felt for including it in 3.12 since the code was ready. Matthias has now released gnome-initial-setup 3.11.92 and has also branched off the gnome-3-12 branch, which means the master branch is open for development again. I'll push the changes there.

I know it's coming late, but it would be great to have this in the final release. fwiw that string was almost there in the past (between Oct 24th and Nov 1st) and I could find existing translations in the current .po files for as, es, fi, gl, and tg.
