Inkscape 0.47 Downloads Page - Translations needed
by Joshua A. Andler 24 Nov '09

Hey Translators, I have updated the downloads page for 0.47 located at: /inkscape_web/trunk/download/download-en.inc It appears that we have had cs, de, es, fr, it, ja, and ru translations in the past just so people are aware. Also, my grep skills seem to be failing me as I can't find the file which contains the version information "$actual_version". So, if anyone knows where this is located or has better luck finding it, if you could bump it to 0.47 that would be appreciated. (I will continue looking though) Cheers, Josh

Can't edit the wiki - content gets erased when saving
by Lucas Vieites 23 Nov '09

Hi, I trying to create this wiki page: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/ReleaseNotes047-es with the copied content from http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/ReleaseNotes047 but when I save the content keeps getting erased and appears completely blank. This only happens when I copy the complete text of the original release notes, not when I copy small parts of it. I seems to break at a certain number of characters. Is this a known behaviour? (I'm using Firefox 3.0.13 on Suse Linux) If this persists, what can I do? Should I breakthe Release notes in two pages? Thanks, -- Lucas Vieites Blog: http://blog.codexion.com/

Finnish translation
by Riku Leino 08 Nov '09

08 Nov '09

Hello again, Please ignore my last post. I was a bit too confused when I sent it. The reason is that the Finnish translation has not been commited yet even the bug tracker had status commited. Could you please commit both translation files from the bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/448631 before the release of 0.47. Thanks Riku

Filter translations
by Riku Leino 08 Nov '09

08 Nov '09

Hello, I just built the 0.47rc4 to see my translation in action and for some reason almost all filter translations are missing. They do exist in the fi.po file. Any idea if I did something wrong with the Finnish translation or is this a more wider problem with other translations too. Filters were a pain to translate. It would be a shame to lose them in the final version. Riku

0.47 about screens in progress
by Nicolas Dufour 03 Nov '09

Hi Thanks to all who confirmed or added their translation (some translations still need to be confirmed!). Wiki page updated (http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/AboutScreenTranslation). Johan is very busy at the moment, thus I've started to translate the screens by myself. I've tried Excellentia, but due to a very limited accents support, I've finally switched to Harabara Hand (http://www.dafont.com/harabarahand.font). The only drawback is that it doesn't support Cyrillic and other Unicode characters. Since I haven't found a nice script Cyrillic font, the Russian screen uses URW Chancery L (a default Ubuntu font). It's not a script font, but it looks better than a Times or Arial in this context. The translated screens are now (revision 22547) br, fr, it, nl, pt_BR, and ru. Could you please take a look at the screens and tell me what you think of the chosen fonts before I continue? Johan, do you want to keep your original untouched, or replace the "draw freely" font by Harabara Hand (or another script font)? Regards, -- Nicolas

I think it is because I read the English "Draw freely" as an imperative form. So in German and Dutch that would make "Zeichne frei" and "Teken vrij". Unfortunately, the double meaning of 'free' is lost in translation :(. Personally, I feel the text should not be translated to Dutch at all. It is uncommon and strange in Dutch to translate catchphrases like this. Ciao, Johan
