P.S. I'm subscribed to too many inkscape list, confusing one with another all the time :( Alexandre

We can leave default as it is, and simply let the user decide what shortcut file he will use (xara, or inkscape default, or inkscape.ru or inkscape.fr). If the user decides to use another file, he is already warned that he should pay attention to the combinations he is used to in tutorials, and is aware of the necessary (mental) conversion. > Sorry if that sounds sour. No, I find this feedback interesting : working around potential issues is always better than facing real problems :) . Matiphas

Potential additional translations
by Matiphas 20 Jun '06

20 Jun '06

Hi all, here is the result of the analysis of the po files found in Gnome cvs for Sodipodi. I've simply downloaded then synchronized them with current Inkscape strings : the status is not really brilliant. I guess merging them in our svn is not really worth the effort. (on the other hand, it also simply means that Inkscape has evolved a lot, which is a good thing :) ) Regards, matiphas Total number of localizable strings: 2148 am translated: 83 ( 3 %), fuzzy: 318 ( 14 %), untranslated: 1747 ( 81 %), total: 2148 az translated: 178 ( 8 %), fuzzy: 634 ( 29 %), untranslated: 1336 ( 62 %), total: 2148 be translated: 170 ( 7 %), fuzzy: 638 ( 29 %), untranslated: 1340 ( 62 %), total: 2148 da translated: 115 ( 5 %), fuzzy: 681 ( 31 %), untranslated: 1352 ( 62 %), total: 2148 en_CA translated: 186 ( 8 %), fuzzy: 659 ( 30 %), untranslated: 1303 ( 60 %), total: 2148 en_GB translated: 186 ( 8 %), fuzzy: 659 ( 30 %), untranslated: 1303 ( 60 %), total: 2148 et translated: 114 ( 5 %), fuzzy: 627 ( 29 %), untranslated: 1407 ( 65 %), total: 2148 fi translated: 181 ( 8 %), fuzzy: 634 ( 29 %), untranslated: 1333 ( 62 %), total: 2148 ga translated: 55 ( 2 %), fuzzy: 206 ( 9 %), untranslated: 1887 ( 87 %), total: 2148 gl translated: 96 ( 4 %), fuzzy: 667 ( 31 %), untranslated: 1385 ( 64 %), total: 2148 hr translated: 185 ( 8 %), fuzzy: 632 ( 29 %), untranslated: 1331 ( 61 %), total: 2148 ja translated: 185 ( 8 %), fuzzy: 634 ( 29 %), untranslated: 1329 ( 61 %), total: 2148 ko translated: 170 ( 7 %), fuzzy: 634 ( 29 %), untranslated: 1344 ( 62 %), total: 2148 mk translated: 0 ( 0 %), fuzzy: 355 ( 16 %), untranslated: 1793 ( 83 %), total: 2148 mn translated: 185 ( 8 %), fuzzy: 630 ( 29 %), untranslated: 1333 ( 62 %), total: 2148 ne translated: 186 ( 8 %), fuzzy: 659 ( 30 %), untranslated: 1303 ( 60 %), total: 2148 pa translated: 134 ( 6 %), fuzzy: 514 ( 23 %), untranslated: 1500 ( 69 %), total: 2148 pt translated: 211 ( 9 %), fuzzy: 709 ( 33 %), untranslated: 1228 ( 57 %), total: 2148 rw translated: 58 ( 2 %), fuzzy: 689 ( 32 %), untranslated: 1401 ( 65 %), total: 2148 sk translated: 213 ( 9 %), fuzzy: 698 ( 32 %), untranslated: 1237 ( 57 %), total: 2148 sq translated: 69 ( 3 %), fuzzy: 240 ( 11 %), untranslated: 1839 ( 85 %), total: 2148 sv translated: 215 ( 10 %), fuzzy: 716 ( 33 %), untranslated: 1217 ( 56 %), total: 2148 tr translated: 176 ( 8 %), fuzzy: 706 ( 32 %), untranslated: 1266 ( 58 %), total: 2148

Thank you, I had to read that twice before I grasped it. GNOME is reporting on GNOME translations, not on Inkscape translations. At the moment, Inkscape's en_GB is arguably at 0% as there is no en_GB.po file. Assuming that this file is needed, there are three possibilities: 1) There is a volunteer who has made contact with one of the regulars on the translators list; 2) I can start the ball rolling by copying the inkscape.pot file to en_GB.po and adding it to the tracker, if this is not premature and 3) I can cajole the Huddersfield Linux User group into maintaining this file. Obviously (1) has priority, but I think that partial and exploratory translations are considered helpful as stepping stones. I looked at a version of inkscape.pot of a few weeks ago, and it had 2175 entries, so my admiration for the work of the translation teams which was already high is increased by my seeing the magnitude and repetitive nature of the task. Personally, I feel that if an en_GB translation is welcomed, then we should see to it that it is done very speedily, as it would be ridiculous for an English to English translation to take a significant amount of time, wouldn't it?

Babelfish translation on www.Inkscape.org
by vonHalenbach 19 Jun '06

19 Jun '06

Hi Inkscape translators ! I have just tried to use the babelfish translation on our homepage. Did you try it too? It is located on the bottom of the page. translate to [ Chinese French German Italian Japanese Korean Portuguese Spanish ] When i use the German button, the translation is terrible, to be polite. It produces nonsens and bullshit with no sense at all. It is useless. A relict from old times,when inkscape had no translation of the homepage. Currently we have german, french, italic and spanisch translation which is maintained. It could be improoved. Maybe. I think the best solution is to disable babelfish completly. How do you think about that? Please try that link in your language and give your feedback in this mailinglist.
