Inkscape docs moved to Launchpad
by Nicolas Dufour 25 Aug '10

Hi all, Inkscape's doc stuff (mainly tutorials po files) has just moved from the old Sourceforge svn to Launchpad. The project url is: https://launchpad.net/inkscape-docs. Feel free to use it if you need to report a bug or request (you can still use the translators list, of course!) The maintainer and driver of this project is the Inkscape Administrators group, and the trunk owner is the Inkscape Developers group. In order to get a local checkout of the files, please use the following command: # bzr checkout lp:inkscape-docs You can create a local branch instead, but I suggest that you use a checkout so that using it is as easy as is was with svn. Please refer to the wiki (http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Working_with_Bazaar) if you need some details about bazaar (just replace lp:inkscape with lp:inkscape-docs). Could someone with the appropriate rights freeze "https://inkscape.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/inkscape/doc-docbook/ on Sourceforge"? Regards. -- Nicolas

Please remove translation comments before | sign

Can you please change the comments before | in strings like this one: "Grid|_New" to a msgctxt tag for not using "comment|" anymore in Inkscape translation? IMHO this leads to confusions and mistranslations.

Wiki page translation
by Lucas Vieites 20 Aug '10

Hi, as the release date for 0.48 is nearing, I am once again trying to find the most appropriate way to translate the Release Notes from the Wiki. Translating Wiki texts is always a hassle because there are no CAT (computer aided translation) tools that support the format (OmegaT does something with MediaWiki format, but I haven't been able to try it out !!). As I was researching a solution to this problem I found the TranslateWiki project (http://translatewiki.net/). They provide a translation platform for wikis of open source projects. The main advantage of it is that translations become _reusable_. Instead of translating the same texts over and over again from one release to another and having to check every sentence word by word for changes, we will be able to reuse previous translations and the differences will be highlighted. I'd like to hear your thoughts on whether it would be useful for us to use their platform. Some links: Requirements for new projects: http://translatewiki.net/wiki/Translating:New_project Projects already using translatewiki.net: http://translatewiki.net/wiki/Project_list Cheers, -- Lucas Vieites

In this string #. TODO replace aux_toolbox_space(tbl, AUX_SPACING); #: ../src/widgets/gradient-toolbar.cpp:589 msgid "on" the on is like "on or off", or like "on my desk" ? Cristi -- Cristian Secară http://www.secarica.ro

what means "fix committed" in case of translations ?
by Cristian Secară 05 Aug '10

05 Aug '10

What means if the status of a translation "bug" has changed from "In Progress" to "=> Fix Committed" ? That bug thread will be ignored after that, or is just an useless flag when it comes to translations ? For example this one https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/596689 Cristi -- Cristian Secară http://www.secarica.ro

Tutorial translations
by Leandro Regueiro 05 Aug '10

05 Aug '10

Hi, I just wanted to start translating the tutorials, but the bzr web interface seems to be not working, so I downloaded the files from the svn in sourceforge, is any problem this? Another thing is that I am not familiar with the SVG creation from the .po files, any tip regarding this issue? Another question, can you make statistics for the tutorials like this: http://mfloryan.statnet.pl/inkscape/ Thanks, Leandro Regueiro

large - small - smaller or large - medium - small ?
by Cristian Secară 05 Aug '10

05 Aug '10

(not quite translation related, but I came across these strings while translating/checking this portion) In preferences -> Interface there are a few icon size settings. At present the alternatives are large - small - smaller. Is this really ok ? In my opinion these should have been large - medium - small. Hm ? Cristi -- Cristian Secară http://www.secarica.ro
