Hi All. How do i know which all language communities/ teams are already available who are doing translations of Inkscape. I am interested in joining the efforts of translating Inkscape for Indian language(s). Please let me also know the process of creating new teams in case one is not available for a language. Regards, Chandrakant Dhutadmal Pune, India.

New to Inkscape translation
by Jorge Toledo García 27 Apr '14

27 Apr '14

Hi everyone! I'm new here. I'd like to join Jabiertxo and others in translating the Inkscape website to Spanish. I'm not a professional translator but I'm a native Spanish speaker and have some experience as a writer and editor for the web. I'm still trying to figure out how you work here. This is what I did so far: - Read this: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/WebSite#User_Account - Register on the website. My username: eldelacajita - Sign up on this list... obviously :) Are there any more translation-specific guidelines? And just one more question about the general approach: Are Spanish pages supposed to be an accurate translation from the English ones, or can they be approached as the "best possible Spanish website for Inksape"? That is, can we adapt examples, tutorials, links, etc. to be more relevant in Spanish/latin context? Thank you! Best, Jorge

Inkscape website translation - Italian language
by FirasHanife＠...5... 26 Apr '14

Good afternoon Inkscape translators, I'm sending this email basically to understand where to start the Inkscape website ( http://inkscape.org/en/ ) translation to Italian language. I was thinking to translate only the main page as at the moment being there is still no official translation available and this might create problems to users who don't know English. I've already sent a request to get the permissions as Editor, but I want to avoid any problems like: - someone is already doing the translation - use a wrong translation style - small details that are better to understand before starting anything btw any suggestions are welcome best regards, Firas Hanife

Website: News Creation and Translation
by Martin Owens 12 Apr '14

Dear Developer and Translators, The inkscape website has some new functionality to create, edit, delete and translate news articles. If you can, I'd like you to help test the functionality over on http://staging.inkscape.org/news/ and find any issues and wrinkles before the new functions are pushed to the live website. Let me know the issues here on the mailing list rather than on the bug tracker so I can keep the bugs for live issues. If you don't see any buttons, it's because you must be logged into the website and you must have the required permissions. Let me know here when you're testing and I'll enable your staging account to have permissions. Thanks to everyone who's helped push improvements in the website :-) I hope we'll have a couple more people working on website functionality in the coming months. Best Regards, Martin Owens
