What's next? Translating 1.2.1
by Lucas Vieites 21 Jun '22

21 Jun '22

Hi there, I was kinda bummed that I couldn't get my Spanish translation finished 100% for the release of 1.2, so I'm setting my sights on 1.2.1, but I have a couple of questions before I start working on that. Do we have to wait for a git branch and a fresh po file to be generated? or, can we just continue our work on the po file we had downloaded from the 1.2.x branch? Thank you in advance, -- *Lucas Vieites* Blog @ codexion.com <https://blog.codexion.com/> LinkedIn <https://www.linkedin.com/in/lucasvieites>

Inkscape Context for translation
by Gabriel Van Wyk 16 May '22

16 May '22

Hi All I am a newbie with the translation, and I am struggling with the context of the translation. Sometimes I want to see the text in the Inkscape context to know what the right translation would be, but I don't know how to match a specific text string with its usage in Inkscape. Any advice? -- *Kind regardsGabriel van WykPrincipal / Director* *gaby(a)whereabouts.biz <gaby(a)whereabouts.biz>* www.whereabouts.biz https://goo.gl/maps/pbAWbo25uT42 *________________________________________________________________________________* *This communication is confidential and may contain legally privileged information.

(resending the same message, but without attachment; my previous message, that awaits moderation because of too large attachment, can be safely deleted) În data de Sat, 7 May 2022 23:34:10 +0200, Maren Hachmann a scris: > Marc is letting us know that you can submit your user interface > translations for Inkscape 1.2 until Friday, May 13, 16:00 UTC (18:00 > CEST). > > So if you want to see your language listed here: > https://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/Release_notes/1.2#Translations > there's still some time to do so! (updated text) Please use this translation file for Romanian: https://www.secarica.ro/traduceri/inkscape_1.2_lang_ro.7z Practically it is almost the same as for Inkscape 1.1 with very few completions. I noticed that the 1.2 development version has a very old and incomplete translation file for ro, so it seems that the translation from 1.1 did not propagate to 1.2. The announcement for 1.2 was very short on time and could not do more work in just one week. Generally speaking, is there a schedule for upcoming release dates mentioned somewhere ? Thank you, Cristi -- Cristian Secară https://www.secarica.ro

Requesting access to translate website
by Lucas Vieites 09 May '22

09 May '22

Hi there, I'm Lucas Vieites <https://inkscape.org/~lucasvieites/>, long-time translator of the Inkscape UI and tutorials to Spanish. I have recently started promoting Inkscape in my (real-life) social networks, which has prompted many questions about stuff that's already available on the website, but, unfortunately, not yet translated to Spanish. I have reached out to the current website translators to see whether there is a plan to keep on translating the more static pages of the site, which it seems there isn't, so I'd like to start contributing to this task. I've been reading https://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/WebSite, and I think I'm more than capable to follow the instructions. I have a background in open-source software translation (+20 years) and website development (HTML, Javascript, CSS, etc.) I will now formally use the "Request Membership" button on https://inkscape.org/*translator/. Thank you, and kind regards, -- *Lucas Vieites* Blog @ codexion.com <https://blog.codexion.com/> LinkedIn <https://www.linkedin.com/in/lucasvieites>
