Re: UI freeze exception request for 2 Ubuntu One packages
Hi :) Ok, so the next step is to take this advice Launchpad team. Create a new Launchpad team for your language. The team's name must accord to the following rules: * ubuntu-l10n-ISO 639 language code - Where ISO 639 language code is a two-letter or a three-letter (if the two-letter one is not available) ISO 639 code. You can search for the code for your language 'here'. If you don't find your code there, you may want to look at the more comprehensive ISO 639-3 list 'here' = http://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/php/langcodes-search.php where i saw rw_RW but there are other choices. So, the form on this page needs to be filled in by Emmanuel https://launchpad.net/people/+newteam Obviously the team will only have 1 person in it to start with but that is fine and anyway, more are likely to join later on after things are set-up for them.

Re: UI freeze exception request for 2 Ubuntu One packages
Hi :) Ok, so the next step on this page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Translations/KnowledgeBase/StartingTeam Is to have a look at your team's page https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-l10n-rw Add some brief information on the team's page. This should include: * A welcome note with the purpose of the team * A note on how to join the team * Links to the team's existing communication channels (e.g. mailing list, forums, IRC channel, wiki, etc) Errr, that last one seems a bit crazy when there is only 1 of you so far but it helps to have the infrastructure ready for other people to get in contact and for other people if/when they start joining the team. If you wish to do so, you can request the creation of an official Ubuntu mailing list for your translation team by sending an e-mail to r...@ubuntu.com The name of the list should match the name of the team in Launchpad (ubuntu-l10n-rw). So that is the next 2 steps for you. 1. Make your team's page more friendly so that people can join 2. Set-up an official mailing list by emailing r...@ubuntu.com to request the creation of the mailing list.

Re: UI freeze exception request for 2 Ubuntu One packages
Hi :) Ok, apparently, according to the link you gave you can use standard 'English' fonts and keyboards, more precisely a Latin fontkeyboard. See about halfway down this link http://panafril10n.org/wikidoc/pmwiki.php/PanAfrLoc/RwandaRundi There appear to be a number of different language codes but i guess the rw_RW is probably the best one? I still couldn't see a team listed at https://translations.launchpad.net/+groups/ubuntu-translators Going back to the list describing how to create a team, near the bottom of the page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Translations/KnowledgeBase/StartingTeam it says Applying Application. Once all points have been checked, simply file a support request briefly explaining how you addressed all of the points above the clickable link file a support request takes you to this very generic form https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu-translations/+addquestion I think you need to fill it in and answer each of their questions, point-by-point, so just copypaste your previous reply to me but modify it to make the point about fontskeyboard being standard Latin. Also my 3a is probably better for them as it gives a link so that they can check the truthfulness of my statement easily without having to understand anything about the language or anything. I think that is the next step, file a support request, perhaps give it a subject-line such as support request to create team for rw_RW, Kinyarwanda just to make it easy for the triagers to file it quickly and properly without them having to read the contents. I'm guessing you have probably done most of this before but collecting the relevant info together in the support request and posting the request again might catch them at a moment when they are less distracted with other issues or it might be easier for them to understand this time. Sometimes you have to repeat the same thing several times before people notice and that is probably true in Ubuntu too.

That's true. I have not found any team on Kinyarwanda to join.2. About 11 million people speak Kinyarwanda in Rwanda, but current estimation says that more than 20 million can understand Kinyarwand (Southern Uganda, Western Tanzania, Eastern Kongo Kinshasa and the whole Burundi). 3.a) Yes, Steve Murphy was the active person on Ubuntu and its related issues. I know him, he was in Rwanda for some time in the past. b) I think the keyboard by Steve can be considered. Apart from that, Kiswahili one if exists can be almost similar to Kinyarwanda one. c) I am not sure whether there are specific fonts for Kinyarwanda. NEXT STEP... I have already created a team for Kinyarwanda and I will do my best to invite other people to join. I was wondering whether you could allow me work on translation. It is still closed for me.

Re: UI freeze exception request for 2 Ubuntu One packages
Hi :) So i guess that you have already 1. hunted around to see if there is an existing team already doing the translations and found none? I didn't find one at https://translations.launchpad.net/+groups/ubuntu-translators I looked for Rwanda and Kinyarwanda and neither currently exists. 2. 12million people speak Kinyarwanda according to wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinyarwanda so it's real in the world today spoken by people naturally in their daily lives. 3. Locale, keyboards and fonts. a) A local was created by Steve Murphy and Mr. Safali in 2004, rw_RW http://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=blob;f=localedata/locales/rw_RW;h=437df4bb2c893b8762d42f577dc2d660b727daab;hb=HEAD b) I'm not sure if you have a different keyboard or can use an existing one that is close enough to what you need? c) Is there a font that people will recognise and is comparable to written Kinyarwanda? So, the next step is to create a new team https://launchpad.net/people/+newteam You have to decide whether to call the name by the name of the language or the name of the country(s) where is is most widely spoken. I think people generally pick the name of the language. It might seem stupid to have to create a team when you know that you are going to be the only person in the team but that is the required next step before doing translations. Also you might find other people join the team unexpectedly which help.
