Ambigous string in inkscape
by Sveinn í Felli
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,

Website: 0.91.1 pre0 / Info on release schedule for 0.92.1
by Maren Hachmann
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

Website: Updates and infos
by Maren Hachmann
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- I have unpublished a couple of outdated download pages (not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with outdated download info.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-...
- 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
by helix84
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,

Website: New shield images, more to come
by Maren Hachmann
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

Website / Wiki: Release translations
by Maren Hachmann
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_Anno...
(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_Anno...
Thank you very much for all your help,
Kind Regards,
