Launchpad translations service disruption update

2011-11-24 Thread Dan Harrop-Griffiths
Launchpad translations was due to be unavailable from 10.00 UTC for
around one hour yesterday morning to allow us to set up translations
for the next Ubuntu release, Precise Pangolin (to be 12.04 LTS).

However, by about 10.15 UTC we encountered problems with data already
in Precise’s translations. We weren’t sure how long it’d take to fix
this issue, so decided it was better to reschedule the translations
downtime for another day.

Sorry for the brief interruption to service. We’ll give you at least
24 hours notice before attempting this work again.

CALL FOR TESTING of the second language pack update for Ubuntu 11.10

2011-11-24 Thread Kenneth Nielsen

Hi translators,

Right on schedule it is now time for the second language pack update 
cycle for Ubuntu 11.10.


We've uploaded the language packs to the oneiric-proposed repository for 
you to test before they are released to all users. These should contain 
all your updates and fixes in translations done since the release date.


I'd like to ask teams to test them and provide an indication that 
they've done so by following some simple steps and submitting a signoff, 
so that we know that translations have been successfully tested.


Simply follow the instructions in this page and add your team's signoff 
in the appropriate table:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Translations/LanguagePackUpdatesQA
PLEASE NOTE. That since this a normal update you do not need to do the 
documentation tests.


The deadline for the testing is the 30th of November (in one week's 
time). After that, we'll update the language packs we've received 
feedback for into oneiric-updates, so that all users can benefit from 
the new translations and fixes.


Remember that you'll have to to enable the oneiric-proposed repository 
to get these updates:

Notes
-

Remember that now you can subscribe to the iCal feed to stay up to
date with language pack updates and better coordinate your work:

Thank you for your help in testing translations for all users in your 
language!


Regards,
Kenneth.
(on behalf of the Ubuntu translations coordinators)
