If the translation can be committed directly, then please update the Romanian translation with this one http://www.secarica.ro/traduceri/inkscape_0.48_lang_ro.7z If I should use the bug report method on Launchpad, then please let me know. Thank you, Cristi -- Cristian Secară http://www.secarica.ro

one line can have several midpoints ?
by Cristian Secară 27 Jan '13

27 Jan '13

I have this string #: ../src/widgets/toolbox.cpp:1817 msgid "Line Midpoints" I am not sure, but it sound strange to me that a line can have more than one midpoint. Is this ok ? Or perhaps it should be Lines Midpoints ? Or just Line Midpoint ? Cristi -- Cristian Secară http://www.secarica.ro

Doubts and typos translating strings from Gcode graffiti extension
by Lucas Vieites 17 Jan '13

17 Jan '13

Hi, I'm finishing the Spanish translation for the current 0.49 version and I'm having trouble with a couple of strings, especially from the Gcode extension: "Preview's paint emmit (pts/s):" I have no clue about this one; Google doesn't either ;-) There's also this one, which I think originally had some new lines: "This function creates path to engrave letters or any shape with sharp angles. Cutter's depth as a function of radius is defined by the tool. Depth may be any Python expression. For instance: cone....(45 degrees)......................: w cone....(height/diameter=10/3)..: 10*w/3 sphere..(radius r)...........................: math.sqrt(max(0,r**2-w**2)) ellipse.(minor axis r, major 4r).....: math.sqrt(max(0,r**2-w**2))*4" Here's a typo: "Sort paths to reduse rapid distance" => "*reduce" I hope someone can help me here...

cannot find some strings for translation
by Cristian Secară 13 Jan '13

13 Jan '13

There are some strings I want to translate but I don't know where to find them. The strings from http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~inkscape.dev/inkscape/trunk/files/head:/po/ are very different than the stable 0.48.4 ? I tried also with a development version, "inkscape R10800" from oss-marketplace, but there was no difference. Example: - when opening Inkscape, I cannot find the the string from status bar "No objects selected. Click, Shift+click, or drag around objects to select." - when opening a .png file, a dialog will prompt for embedding or link to the file; the strings "embed" and "link" appears to be missing from my .po On the other hand, in bitmap export dialog there is "Bitmap size" which *is* translated in .po file (<b>Export area</b> = <b>Zona de exportat</b>) but appears in English, "Batch export all selected objects" is translated but with _ accelerator on B_atch, "Hide all except selected" also appears in English while in .po file is with accelerator on a_ll, Filename don't know where to find in .po (but it also appears it has an useless accelerator on F). ?? I am using the .pot file from this place http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~inkscape.dev/inkscape/trunk/files Cristi -- Cristian Secară http://www.secarica.ro

Official status of 0.49 & future dev cycles
by Josh Andler 03 Jan '13

03 Jan '13

Hey All, I want to try something different with this dev cycle based on feedback that has been received as well as it being our least predictable cycle thus far. First, I want to thaw trunk to a degree. New features are allowed if they really appear to be "complete"... this means no committing anything that is known to not be fully implemented, introduce regressions, or otherwise has known issues. On top of that, if the author of said feature does not have time to polish/bugfix within a month based on feedback, it's just not the right time to merge it. Once we are clearly moving forward toward a release, at that time I will propose a freeze. Once all blocker bugs are closed out a release branch will be made. At that point is when string freeze will officially set in on that release branch. 6 wonderful weeks of further bug fixes and translating will then take place. Yes, it seems like the release is "just sitting there" while getting wrapped up, but one benefit is a planned period to get test builds out in the wild so we can possibly get an even more stable new release out. Regular users always catch our oversights, so the more of them with their hands dirty helps save us some potential bug tracker grief. Hopefully some other great new stuff has the potential to land in 0.49 now. It's a shame for development to not still charge ahead if people's work is far along enough. We'll see how this works out this time and if appropriate perhaps do the same again in future releases. I will let everyone know when it looks like we should actually go back into feature, but from where I sit, I don't foresee that being too soon. As usual, any questions, comments, or feedback are welcome. TL;DR: We're mostly thawed, but commit quality matters more than usual. An update will be posted when it's merited. Cheers, Josh
