String freeze for 1.4
by Maren Hachmann 08 Jun '24

08 Jun '24

Hi everyone! The last big changes to strings for Inkscape 1.4 have just been merged (May 5 and today - I've done a big cleanup of hard-to-understand, unnecessary or broken strings, and we've worked on the Help menu). From now on, you can expect strings for 1.4.x to be mostly stable, and only small changes to be made, if any, before the release. There is one bug here: https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inbox/-/issues/10324, which, if fixed, would potentially invalidate a huge number of tooltip / action strings. I made a note there to better postpone that fix to Inkscape 1.4.1. So, those of you who have already started translating, please update your po files - and everyone else, you can now grab the po files for 1.4.x and start the work! Latest ones from today available here: https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/jobs/6808956360/artifacts/download Place to always find the latest ones for 1.4.x: https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/pipelines?page=1&scope=all&ref=1.4.x (on the right, click on download icon, then choose translations archive) Thank you all very much and happy translating!

Hello I'm interested in translating the tutorials into Indonesian language
by mhasbisaputra5＠gmail.com 25 May '24

Hello my name is Muhammad Saputra. I'm very interested to contribute in Indonesian translation of the tutorials. I'm not sure what should I do first but I already have done some work on it (I could not contain myself to get started, sorry) like creating the fork and editing the id.po file in the basic tutorial. Is there anything I should know or do first before continuing the translation?

Aaah! Thanks, Duarte. Yes, I only searched for 'pt' and 'Portuguese' in the MR list, that's why I didn't find it. I've looked into this a bit more, and it seems that the outdatedness is due to the actual Inkscape pipelines on Gitlab having been canceled a lot around that date, so there were no up-to-date translation artifacts available for the documentation statistics to be created from. I've triggered a pipeline re-run, and that worked insofar as it generated the correct statistics now - however, it wasn't able to push its results into the place where the inkscape.org webserver is looking for it. This is currently being looked into by René. I'll let you know when the website has the updated statistics available!
