@Moini, @bryceharrington I am subscribed since Jan 12th. But … I sent my introduction mail to the wrong address :-( I simply copied the address from the first line … didn’t bother to read the on. Sorry, my mistake. >>Welcome to the Inkscape-translator(a)lists.sourceforge.net <mailto:Inkscape-translator@lists.sourceforge.net> mailing list! >> >>To post to this list, send your message to: >> >> inkscape-translator(a)lists.sourceforge.net <mailto:inkscape-translator@...307...sts.sourceforge.net> But on the other hand, it is confusing getting greetings from one email address, but having to respond to another ...

I’m an enthusiastic user of free software. Instead of donating money, I decided to translate the software I use. I also report bugs and errors.

Website: Sponsors page updated
by Maren Hachmann 28 Feb '19

Hello Website Translators! I hope you're all having a good weekend - here, the sun is shining and the first flowers of spring are already in bloom! For the inkscape.org website, Martin has updated the Sponsor page. It now uses plugins for showing the current sponsors - this means that when we get a new sponsor, you do no longer need to update the page, because it will update automatically! As Inkscape is aiming at more actively soliciting sponsors' support, this might (hopefully) become a more frequent occurrance soon :) (only drawback is that sponsor descriptions are no longer translatable) You can find the new sponsors page for translation at https://inkscape.org/<your language shortcut>/sponsors/?edit Your translated version of the old sponsors page is still available via https://inkscape.org/<your language shortcut>/sandbox/sponsors/?edit Most texts didn't change a lot, so I suppose you will be able to reuse some of them. You need to fix up the urls with your language code because of https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape-web/issues/346 (in short: moving CMS pages within the menu does not properly update the saved urls...) Thank you for your help & happy translating Maren

Website: Several pages updated for new bug tracker
by Maren Hachmann 28 Feb '19

Hi Website translators, due to the move of the bug tracker to gitlab, we've adjusted several web pages to link to the correct places, and Patrick and Brynn worked together on updating and improving the 'report bugs' page. Max fixed some code sections. Now it looks like there won't be any major changes coming in the near future, so these updated pages can be translated: https://inkscape.org/develop/bug-management/ - only the introductory part changed https://inkscape.org/develop/getting-started/ - mostly url changes, but also some code and description changes in Linux and - I think - in Windows and Mac parts https://inkscape.org/contribute/translations/ - only url changes, as far as I know, and only in the "Guidelines/workflow" paragraph https://inkscape.org/contribute/report-bugs/ - only links changed https://inkscape.org/learn/faq/ - instructions for installing add-ons were updated (https://inkscape.org/learn/faq/#how-install-new-extensions-palettes-documen…), and there was an 'old' inserted into 'can be found by searching the old Launchpad bugtracker' at the end of the dpi change section (https://inkscape.org/learn/faq/#dpi_change). The changes that were made were a bit difficult to track, unfortunately, due to some broken website functionality, and due to them happening in various iterations. I did take screenshots of most changes, though. They are available as a zip file from https://inkscape.org/gallery/item/13516/diff_screenshots.zip . Hope you all have a good week! Thank you for your help with Inkscape's website Maren
