Team titles
by Martin Owens 20 Aug '17

20 Aug '17

Dear translators, The website has an upgraded team list, it can now show a title or role for a member of a team. To show what this could look like for the translators team I've added three examples: https://inkscape.org/en/*translator If this is interesting or useful for the translators team, please let me know. More information about membership is always possible in future updates. Also note that now leaving or expiring from a team will result in you being listed under the Previous team members list, so your contribution won't be forgotten if you choose to stop helping with translations. Best Regards, Martin Owens

The urls is regex, so /releases?/ means the 's' is optional. Best Regards, Martin Owens P.S. I'm not subscribed to translators mailing list, so things might get lost unless emailed directly.

Website/Wiki/News outlets: Updates for 0.92.2 (not released yet!)
by Maren Hachmann 12 Aug '17

12 Aug '17

Dear Translators, for the pending release of Inkscape 0.92.2, there are already a couple of texts available for us to work on: Website -------- On the website, the news article can already be translated at: https://inkscape.org/en/news/unpublished/833/ (when the article is published, you can also access it from the inkscape.org front page). Clicking on Save will not publish the translation, when the original isn't published yet. When the English version is then published, any existing translations will be published, too. Website CMS pages will probably also require adaptation, unless the releases app is ready for the release (I'm not sure here, but currently it looks more like we'll need to work on the CMS pages, just like last time). Wiki ---- And we've also got some release notes for 0.92.2 in the Wiki: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Release_notes/0.92.2 Translating these is some work, but it's also very interesting, if you want to know more details about all the progress that has been made (and why you should update to 0.92.2 when it's out!) Please send a message to this mailing list or to me directly if you would like to get access to the Wiki or to the Website News, to help with the tasks. News spreading -------------- If you can help with spreading the news in your language, please visit: https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape-vectors/press/issues/1 to see if there are already news outlets on the list for your language, and add a comment, to claim one or more of the to-do items. If you know of one that is missing in the list, please comment on the issue, give a link and a way how to contact the corresponding outlet. IMPORTANT: Please do NOT post or publish any news anywhere just yet, Inkscape 0.92.2 hasn't been released yet! Wait for the official announcements on the user or development mailing lists! Btw. did you see the new icon for website translators team here: https://inkscape.org/en/teams/ ? It was made by Tim Jones (https://inkscape.org/en/~TimJones) who designed a set of beautiful headgear icons for the listed teams. Thank you very much everyone + happy translating! Kind Regards, Maren

Release Fields made Translatable
by Martin Owens 12 Aug '17

12 Aug '17

Dear Translators, The release app has just been upgraded with Platform and ReleasePlatform translation objects. This means that many more fields can be translated into your native language. I've put together a very brief summary here: https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape-web/wikis/create-release#translation With screenshots. You may need help to translate different bits, but there aren't that many fields. Best Regards, Martin Owens Website Administrator

DE Site Advice
by Martin Owens 11 Aug '17

11 Aug '17

Dear translators, A company wants to sponsor Inkscape, but their website is in German (I think), can some translators have a look at it and see if it's trustworthy and above board before we accept the sponsorship donation? Thanks a lot! Site of interest: https://www.betrugstest.com/ Best Regards, Martin Owens

Website: New FAQ item for dpi change
by Maren Hachmann 08 Aug '17

08 Aug '17

Hi website translators, for the dpi change, our FAQ has received a much anticipated update: https://inkscape.org/en/learn/faq/#dpi_change As the anchor part of the link (#dpi_change) is used inside the Inkscape program (you can access it from the dpi update dialog), it's important that at some point you switch to the html source and add an id="dpi_change" into the header tag for the new FAQ item. Hope you're all doing well, Kind Regards, Maren

The languages that appear "close" (>80%) to be fully translated are for instance: breizh (7405/8133), catalan (8073/8133), greek (7655/8133), en_GB (8129/8133), euskadi (7202/8133), spanish (7620/8133), icelandic (7052/8133), italian (7564/8133), japanese (6990/8133), latvian (8089/8133), dutch (8016/8133), portugese (8016/8133), slovak (7882/8133), zh_CN (7776/8133), zh_TW (7598/8133), and any other that you're working on or that I've missed Important note: Don't forget to update your po file with the inkscape.pot file <https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/blob/0.92.x/po/inkscape.pot> to see the complete list of strings to be translated! Nicolas, if you know ways to contact translators that would not be on this list, can you copy it to them? Thanks all for all your work! -- Marc

Website: GNU/Linux download page updated
by Maren Hachmann 04 Aug '17

04 Aug '17

Dear website translators, someone seems to have updated the downloads page for GNU/Linux, to include a link to the Archwiki. It's the last line on this page: https://inkscape.org/en/download/linux/ Can you please update your versions? Kind Regards, and thank you very much!, Maren
