Can't create merge request due to GitLab error message

Hi all, I'm experiencing an issue when creating a merge request on the 1.4.x branch. I see this message "You can only create or edit files when you are on a branch" and the merge request is not created. I am following the steps in https://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php?title=Interface_translation#7._Mak… Is anyone else having this issue? Thank you, and kind regards, -- *Lucas Vieites <https://namedrop.io/lucasvieites>* Blog @ codexion.com <https://blog.codexion.com/> LinkedIn <https://www.linkedin.com/in/lucasvieites>

String freeze for 1.4
by Maren Hachmann 13 May '24

13 May '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 09 May '24

09 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?
