Tutorial translations: switching to xml2po
by Colin Marquardt 10 Feb '08

10 Feb '08

Hi, is there anyone who objects using xml2po for the tutorial translations? See http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/DocumentationTranslation for the process. With xml2po, translators would get regular po files to translate, with all the positive effects (no manual looking for string changes; more dedicated tools than for Docbook; familiarity of amny translators with the format; translator credits for free (even though we don't pull them yet for the About box); strings from included images are in the same file; the Gnome people are using it; and probably some more). I am using xml2po for the German translation since pre-0.45, and it worked quite well so far. I have started automating the conversion process to HTML/SVG (to the then intermediate Docbook XML) in SVN. So if there are no valid objections overriding the plusses, I will soon start converting all translated Docbook XML files to the po format. Please submit any translated XML files that are not yet in SVN. I think now is a good time to tackle that process, considering that 0.46 is probably a while but not too far away, and there are quite some efforts going into tutorials recently (thanks Ryan :). Cheers Colin PS: I'm cmarqu on IRC.

Translation stats for 0.46
by Bryce Harrington 03 Jan '08

Hi all! We're getting close to string freeze. Even though there may still be some code changes due to bug fixes, the codebase is extremely stable right now, so now would be a very good time to begin updating translations. Following is a listing of the current percentages for various languages. We're at 49% on average, with 10 languages at 80% or greater. It would be great to see the number of languages at >=80% be brought up to 20. I'm also curious how many languages can be brought up to 100% before release!

Hebrew translation
by Leon Mintz 03 Dec '07

Hello. I've begun to translate to Hebrew. Just wanted to ask about syncing with the rest of the project: where should I send the PO file, so it will be added to a future version of Inkscape? Thanks, Leon.
