Re: [translate-pootle] Frequncy list

Yes, I also found this in the short frequency words lists I created for the Decathlon (see my mail to Asiri). I think the most practical solution would be to create such a list anyway, and then try to find as many different meanings for each word, and include all those meanings in the list. You'll end up with meanings that are not common, but at least you'll cover all the meanings that are important. For example, if the list contains "file", you might put both computer file and nail file in the word list, even though nail file is very unlikely to occur in a software translation. In this way, translators (who must use these lists intelligently) can easily spot the appropriate meaning.

Re: [translate-pootle] Frequncy list
G'day Asiri > Dear All,If their any possibilities to obtain most frequent used 100 UIs > (User Interface) in the software? > If their any place to download or collect that resources? Here is one: http://pootle.locamotion.org/projects/terminology/ ...but I'm not sure what the history of that list is. Also, on the Locamotion server, in the Decathlon translation project, I created frequency word lists for each of the projects. See for example: http://translate.sourceforge.net/wiki/decathlon/wxdfast ...and click the link for "glossary for Pootle" (5th link from the top) The way I created the above lists, is described here: http://translate.sourceforge.net/wiki/guide/clunky_glossary_creation > My Objective is collecting above resources, because when localizing SW we > usually we do same strings again and again. That is a good idea, but IMO a better idea would be to create such lists for broad categories of software instead. Words that are common in graphical software may not be common in communication software, for example.

Re: [translate-pootle] Adding a "permalink" button to make linking to string in edit mode easier

At present, the best way to get that URL is to move to the next or previous segment, then click the relevant segment itself (to give it focus, may not be necessary, depending on your browser), and then right-click the "Edit" link that pops up on the right-hand side.

Re: [translate-pootle] Terms of Services (TOS [ger m.: AGB]) and Data Protection [German: Einwil ligung zur Datenschutzerklärung)

According to the German law, we have to inquire the > acceptance of TOS and data protection in the registration procedure. As far as I know, there are not TOS. Do a search on this forum for my threads on a privacy policy (1 September 2008 and so on) -- I think that would come closest to the TOS issue. Then you can see some of the ideas that came up as possible easy solutions to the issue. The most frequent acceptance method is a line above the submit button saying "I accept the TOS", with "TOS" hyperlinked to a page with the TOS, and a tickbox that must be ticked for the submit button to work.

We ended up having this conversation on IRC, but for the record, we discussed some of the performance tips that are also mentioned on the wiki, and said that lots of RAM will be good. A high number of files will increase the demand for RAM. The upcoming Pootle 1.3 will probably use less RAM already.
