Website: More news, this time: SFC donation campaign
by Maren Hachmann 28 Nov '18

Hi again, translators! Our hardworking news team has prepared and posted another news item, which is about Inkscape's umbrella organization asking for donations, so they can keep on giving support to all those awesome open source projects. You can find it here: https://inkscape.org/news/2018/11/28/support-inkscape-supporting-software-f… Switch to your own language on that page and select to translate the news article. It's comparably long, but I hope that as many of us as possible can find some time to translate it, so they get as much support as possible :) @Finlay: please let me know if you can help with it, there are a lot of different things I need to attend to currently, and some are already a bit overdue. Thank you everyone for your help! Kind Regards, Maren

Hi there, fellow Website translators! We've got a really fun news item today, just a couple of sentences, really. You need to insert your language code into the following link to be able to get to the translation interface for that article (as it's just summary + link): https://inkscape.org/<insert-your-language-code-here>/admin/cmsplugin_news/news/904/tr/ Hope you'll have time to watch the video, too! I promise you, it's fun :) (will do the German translation now) Kind Regards, Maren

Website: New Sponsor added
by Maren Hachmann 25 Nov '18

Hi there, Website Translators! Inkscape has a new platinum sponsor, which means that: - the sponsors page has been updated (https://inkscape.org/support-us/sponsors/) with the new VectorStock Logo and description. I've also fixed the alphabetical order - PIA is now right after OSUOSL. - on the front page at https://inkscape.org, the 'Recent Sponsor' logo and links/alt texts were exchanged for the new one (just edited the CMS plugin, it's the fastest way to do this). We will (hopefully) also soon have a news article about them. Thank you for your help with the website translations! (I'll do the German translations tonight) Kind Regards Maren

Register on gitlab and fork Inkscape: https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape 2. Edit the translation https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/blob/master/po/ur.po in some specialized editor. I'd recommend Lokalize (it can be installed from your distribution repos or from KDE build factory for Windows [1]), but you can choose some other editor (poEdit, Virtaal, OmegaT, GTranslator, Qt Linguist, even emacs or vim). Some useful advices on Lokalize can be found here: https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Translating_with_Lokalize 3. Commit and push the translation into your fork. 4. Create a merge request. Hope this helps.

Hello fellow Website Translators, we've got some interesting news about a library that has long been part of Inkscape, and has now been made available for everyone to use in their open source projects: https://inkscape.org/news/2018/11/11/graphics-math-library-2geoms-first-rel… As the project is looking for lots of people to use it, let's help by telling them about it! @Finlay: I'm going to do the German translation here. Thank you, Kind Regards Maren

Hi there, website translators! As editing works again, Brynn has made the updates she was planning to do now. 1. On https://inkscape.org/learn/, the link to the videos by heathenx has been updated with a new url and a new description. 2. In the FAQ, an item for another frequent issue has been added: https://inkscape.org/learn/faq/#you-want-select-individual-object-you-can-o… Thank you for your help! @Finlay: Would you have time to take care of the FAQ item? I'm currently quite busy with more things than I should be working on in parallel already... Kind Regards, Maren
