Re: Paraphrasing "Social from the Start" for translators
Hi helpful friends, Thank you for your helping. I decide Japanese translations: "ここから、みんなが繋がります" (In this place, we can connect to each other) In Japanese, "this place" mean "this place" and "start point". This translation has not same face of "Social from the Start", but I believe that these two phrase have same philosophy. For clarification, I expose my conception process about this issue(sorry for my Eng*r*ish ;)). "Social " is : - not only social network (and related softwares). (but included social network services, such as facebook, digg, twitter and more, with gwibber and any other implementations) - not only community(but included). - not only linking. - not only public.

Plymouth messages: are they translatable?
Fellow translators, I just powered on my computer and was prompted by a message that told me my file system needs to be checked. Well, it looks pretty and such, but I am wondering if such messages are available for translation. I cannot find any Plymouth-related template on Launchpad.

Re: Paraphrasing "Social from the Start" for translators
Perfect. That's the best way of saying it that i have seen so far in this thread. I am sorry i do ot know how to access documents for translating, hopefully someone else will help soon as people in here are very helpful & friendly. I used to do the strange short phrases or odd words translation in Rosetta. Without context it can be tricky tho.

Re: Paraphrasing "Social from the Start" for translators
Hi :) I am not sure that "popular" is a good equivalent for "social" in this context but it might be exactly right in your language. Here are a couple of links that might help give an idea of what is required? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_network_service http://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_psychology As a native English speaker i would really like to have list of the 3 or 4 main choices that people are struggling to choose between BUT i can't speak any other language apart from English. :( Sorry :( When i was involved in translating it was from American English into English (GB) Anyway, good luck and regards from Tom :) From: george fragos To: ubuntu-translators@lists.ubuntu.com Sent: Thu, 8 April, 2010 5:17:32 Subject: Re: Paraphrasing "Social from the Start" for translators From its very beggining or start, Ubuntu wants and intends to address to all people that need an open, free, friendly, up to date, hi-tech, flexible operating system, accompanied with a certain "philosophy" that "touches" the human us! In other words Ubuntu, since its very first release, or since _your_ first installation of it in _your_ personal computer "treats" you, us, as whole, as a society! So, "Social form the Start" means, "Popular from its very first release, or its very first installation on your PC". "Social" meaning not only popular, but networking/networked, too! The "Start" is either Ubuntu's Start or _your_ Start with it. Hopefully helpfull!
