Website News: 1.3beta0 released! / String freeze in a few days

Hi Translators, we've just released the beta for Inkscape 1.3, and also published a news article for it: http://www.inkscape.org/news/2023/05/30/inkscape-reveals-tools-organizing-e… If you are a website translator and have a little bit of time, please help by translating the article to your language! -------------------------------- About translating for Inkscape 1.3: The bulk of the changes is now in, but string freeze will officially only start in a few days (expected for next Monday). So if you'd like to start on translations, you can, but expect some smaller changes to still happen, that may invalidate (fuzzy-fy) some of your translations. Note that now two branches exist again, 'master' and '1.3.x'. Remember to ask for your translations to be included in both, and to check whether that has actually happened. I'll update links on the Wiki / translation statistics after the official string freeze. Thanks everyone! Maren

Website: New news article / General status info

Hi all, there's a new news article available for translation on the inkscape.org website: https://inkscape.org/news/2023/05/23/meet-inkscapes-new-about-screen-artist/ It has lots and lots of html formatting / CSS styling (looks awesome, but makes translating harder), so please be careful and switch to source mode, if you need to! ------------------ On another note, I've decided that I'm done with reviewing strings for 1.3, and opened a few merge requests to various Inkscape repositories. They are not merged yet, and they touch many strings. I'll let you know when it's all in and strings are stable enough to translate. ------------------ The docs repository has not been updated yet for 1.3. If someone would like to help by reading through the tutorials to check whether any changes are required, please do and let us know in an issue for the docs repo if there is something that needs to be updated for 1.3! https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape-docs/documentation Kind Regards Maren

Re: [Inkscape-devel] Branching and stuff

Correction: We DO expect many of the new strings to change until then, I'm in the process of reviewing and trying to understand those. I'm hoping to have good developer support for this task, as has been the case with those that I've already tackled.
