Re: [Inkscape-translator] Forking Inkscape on gitlab to work on translations
by Maren Hachmann 26 Aug '18

Hi Yaron, I've joined Zanata as moini, and already had a little look around. It's really awfully slow (on their servers, don't know what it would be like on a local machine)! I was surprised to see they need to use alicdn... (for their alpha editor). UI is a bit non-intuitive. But I'd still like to see what settings one can make. Can you add me so I can look around? As for weblate, I've had a closer look at their hosted version, and asked for explanations of what hosting means. Michal, the author, explained to me that, currently, for the hosted version, there is no admin access to the project at all, so I doubt it would be something we could use for our various translation files, branches, settings... and our translators who would like to have a little more control over what gets in and what doesn't. Locally, the amount of options is overwhelming, I still need some time to look into it. As we now have the help of a person who might be willing to help us set these things up (someone who does ansible and can make it work) plus our own servers, self-hosting appears to be an option that is within reach... Don't know what others think at all, I haven't gotten any feedback about it yet.

FAQ: Item about preserving colors updated
by Maren Hachmann 22 Aug '18

22 Aug '18

Hi translators, I've just updated (that is, mostly rewritten) the FAQ item about how to preserve colors for future use (Marc had fixed a directory for Ubuntu, but we already have a better explanation for that in another part of the FAQ, and some important info was missing anyway). https://inkscape.org/en/learn/faq/#how-create-custom-palettes-and-how-save-… Can you help port that update to your language? Hope you're all doing fine, thank you for your help, Maren

Website: Updates to 'Around the Internet' page
by Maren Hachmann 18 Aug '18

18 Aug '18

Hi there, Brynn has checked the 'Inkscape Around the Internet' page for dead links, and found a couple of things that needed an update: 1. Multiple-Artist Collections > Wikimedia Commons - Category:Created with Inkscape: Link and text changed 2. Multiple-Artist Collections > Museum of Sodipodi and Inkscape About Screens is now a link to About screens on the Inkscape website. 3. A dead link (search for 'nojhan') has been removed. 4. The linke about nautical flags has been updated. (the page requires updates in French, Portuguese and Brazilian Portuguese. @Finlay: German is ready. It has no other translations.) I hope I'm going to be able to start on paving the way for easier translation of the Inkscape program, and everything that relies on po files, during the Hackfest :) @Yaron: I didn't forget, just didn't have the time to look into Xanata yet. I will! (hopefully next week) Kind Regards, Maren

Website: FAQ and Report Bugs updated
by Maren Hachmann 08 Aug '18

08 Aug '18

Hi again, website translators! Today, I'm asking for your help with translation of the following changed pages: 1. New FAQ item added: How to reset user preferences (Item 19 in the How-To questions section: https://inkscape.org/en/learn/faq/#how-reset-user-preferences ) 2. The Report Bugs page has been completely rewritten: https://inkscape.org/en/contribute/report-bugs/ #1 is a quick thing, #2 is quite a large chunk. Thank you everyone! @Finlay Thank you for your help with the news item! I did a quick review yesterday, good work! As I'm probably not able to do any translating until end of September, it would be a big help if you could look at the above ones, too. It's not urgent, though. Kind Regards + Happy Translating, Maren

Website: New News about next Hackfest
by Maren Hachmann 03 Aug '18

03 Aug '18

Hi there, translators, there will be a Hackfest coming to my city in September - I'm quite a bit excited about it :) Here's a news article about it: https://inkscape.org/en/news/2018/08/01/inkscape-hackfest-germany/ Could you help us by translating to your language? @Finlay Do you think you can find the time for helping me with it? I've got a lot on my mind currently and could use your help, if you aren't on holidays :) Thank you, everyone! I'm hoping to use the Hackfest time for setting up some better translation infrastructure (not for the website cms, that can't be helped, but for the po file based translations) and for preparing release notes, and maybe improving on the Getting started guide... let's see how that works out, it sounds like it could become too much, depending on any unexpected hurdles, and any organizational stuff that comes up :) If there's any of the translators who would like to join us - remotely or locally, or perhaps just some of the time, it would be good to have testers for the new system, perhaps, and to get some of the more neglected translations up to a higher percentage. I see Victor has already started to help with that, and there has been some movement with Italian, too, which is very good :) Kind Regards, Maren

pt_BR.po file translated
by Victor Westmann 02 Aug '18

02 Aug '18

The file for Brazilian Portuguese (pt_BR.po) is available through my Mega Upload account. Please see this link (https://mega.nz/#F!M1gQnIQZ!g6UDlPD4jnunTjMe3rhs2A) I tried to upload the file in the attachments but couldn't. Is there another way I can send this back to the project to be incorporated in time for 0.92.4 release? Thanks. --Victor Westmann

Untranslatable strings in UI
by Qian Cai 01 Aug '18

01 Aug '18

I compiled the latest Inkscape from gitlab and found the sub-strings under both Filters and Extensions menus are still English even though the po files have those strings translated in FR, DE and zh_CN. Any ideas? Sent from my iPhone
