Ambigous string in inkscape
by Sveinn í Felli 31 Jan '17

31 Jan '17

This string: "Choose this tab if you would like to see page info previously to apply DPI Switcher." To me, both the meaning and the grammar seem to be dysfunctional. It's a recently added string, which must have passed into the code without proofreading. Can anyone explain what it's supposed to mean? It's similar to "Choose this tab if you would like to see a list of the fonts used/found." Thanks, Sveinn í Felli

Website: 0.91.1 pre0 / Info on release schedule for 0.92.1
by Maren Hachmann 25 Jan '17

25 Jan '17

Dear website translators, Bryce and Eduard have made downloads for the 0.91.1pre0 version available for testers, and thus the page https://inkscape.org/en/download/development-versions/ changed (section at the bottom with prereleases for 0.92 was replaced by the current prerelease). If you aren't subscribed to the devel mailing list, you may also find it interesting to know that string freeze for the main program is scheduled for January, 31st, and that the first week of February is meant for us to update translations (dates may change, though!) Kind Regards, Maren

Untranslated strings in Russian translation of Inkscape (and updating shortcut on Linux)
by Vadim 14 Jan '17

14 Jan '17

Hello! When Inkscape language is set in Russian, there is untranslatable strings in Preferences -> Tools -> Shapes> Pencil: "Base simplify" and "on dynamic LPE simplify". P.S. I've added point "Comment[ru]=" for translating the comment in shortcut /usr/share/applications/inkscape.desktop. It's enclosed, please, merge it.

Website: Updates and infos
by Maren Hachmann 07 Jan '17

Hi website translators, here come the latest website updates: - I have unpublished a couple of outdated download pages (not English, German, Portuguese), as was planned, so as to not confuse users with outdated download info. You can re-publish them when you're done translating! I'm hoping we'll see them up again soon ;-) In the process, I had to delete two pages (one Russian, one Chinese), because trying to unpublish them gave server errors. I'm sorry for any additional work this will cause for the translators, but there wasn't another way to have up-to-date contents on the website :( - Bryce updated the 'the next release' page: https://inkscape.org/en/develop/next-release/ (he marked a couple more things as class="done", and changed a couple of the list items at the bottom) - https://inkscape.org/en/download/linux/ and https://inkscape.org/en/download/development-versions/ have been updated to include the snap and macports info (Sylvan already found them ;-) ). - I've added a short new news article about snap and macports being available: https://inkscape.org/en/news/2017/01/06/snap-package-linux-macports-port-os… - For all languages, except pt, fr and pt-br, I've updated the images in the front shield (for pt, fr, es + pt-br, I only bumped the version number). Can you do the updates for your respective languages, Duarte, Sylvain and Roberto (and maybe someone could do it for Spanish)? I've been a bit stretched lately ;-) Going to start translating now, hope you'll join me :) Kind Regards, Maren

Website translation

Hi Martin, I'd like to ask you to add Slovak (sk) to the website, which I'd like to translate (username: helix84). I'd also like to ask you to remove Czech (cs), which I used to translate before the new website launched and AFAICT it doesn't currently have any Czech content. Thanks in advance. Regards, ~~helix84

Website: New shield images, more to come
by Maren Hachmann 05 Jan '17

05 Jan '17

Hi everyone, it seems as if website editing has left the rough waters (for the moment), at least it wasn't taking too long when I tried now. So, there are two new changes: - The Front Shield images have been exchanged, for the four most-voted entries of the About Screen Contest. (Home page: https://inkscape.org/en/) - Martin has edited the Debugging page and published it now (the only changes are in the topmost section, above 'Debugging with GDB'): https://inkscape.org/en/develop/debugging/ Diff: http://www.inkscape.org/en/cms/diff/57770/ I'm expecting the Mac downloads page to be updated soon for the newly available packages via macports, and the Linux download pages for the snap package. I'm still working on collecting contents from their packagers, as I'm not familiar with either format. Spanish, Portuguese and German are ready already :) I've asked Bryce, and it was intentional to not update the pages before the actual release, to make sure that nothing can slip out before the release, like it did last time, when some news portals announced a version that wasn't out yet. Thank you for your work - Spanish, Portuguese and German download pages are up to date (special thanks to Jabier, who doesn't usually help with translations!) :) Regards, Maren

Dear website and Wiki translators, for the pending release of Inkscape 0.92, a couple of things have been updated, some of which are publicly accessible already, and some will be shortly. We will need your help spreading the news for you language community :) When the new version is released (see inkscape-announce mailing list), it would be great if you could contact your language's software / design / open source communities' news outlets with some info about Inkscape 0.92. The info you need to do so is available here: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/AnnouncePlanning092#Informal_Announ… (if you're contacting German or French news sites, note that there are translations of the release notes available for linking) These are the pages that could use translation help, if you can do so: ===================== Website changes (not public yet, please take care to not accidentally publish anything before the release announcement was made): * https://inkscape.org/en/download/ - release notes link, version number * https://inkscape.org/en/download/linux/ - several changes, incl. above * https://inkscape.org/en/download/windows/ - files exchanged, version number, release notes link * https://inkscape.org/en/download/mac-os/ - changed top paragraph, including heading (Latest *available* version) * https://inkscape.org/en/download/source/ - version number, release notes link, download link * https://inkscape.org/en/download/development-versions/ - moved pre-release versions down * https://inkscape.org/en/ - bumped the version number in the shield * https://inkscape.org/en/learn/books/ - updated keyboard reference link * News Article (not published yet, thus no link) - it's almost the same as the announcement, plus a lot of formatting. ============= Wiki: * Release notes, pending change: will soon have a date. http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Release_notes/0.92 * Announcement texts are finished and can be used to spread the news: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/AnnouncePlanning092#Informal_Announ… Thank you very much for all your help, Kind Regards, Maren
