Missing Russian dialog image

The tutorial-tracing.ru.svg that's in the latest set of tutorial updates in a patch (#1506381) is missing the potrace-ru.png shot of the dialog. We have potrace.png, potrace-de.png and potrace-fr.png. If someone could attach a potrace-ru.png to the patch, that would let me commit it. Thanks http://sourceforge.net/tracker/? func=detail&aid=1506381&group_id=93438&atid=604308

Hi Kinsley > > I get the feeling that > > American English that is more regarded as standard than British > > English. > > Eeek! > > Someone please tell me how I update the *proper* English en_GB > language file. I'll do it today. > The file doesn't exist yet. Potential solution if you volunteer for maintaining an en_GB 'translation' of Inkscape is Take a look at : http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/InterfaceTranslation#Interface_Tran… It indicates where to download inkscape.pot. Once you've got this file, rename it to en_GB.po and modify it with the appropriate tool (poedit or kbabel). A complete translation of Inkscape interface can consume a lot of time, but I guess, translating from en_US to en_GB might be faster. Sorry, i have not a lot of time for providing you long explanations today. But the translator community will surely be able to help you (i've cc'ed the translator list). Regards, matiphas

Vietnamese translation
by Clytie Siddall 14 Jun '06

14 Jun '06

Hello everybody :) I'm here in response to the matiphas' email to the Deb18n list. I'm willing to translate Inkscape into Vietnamese. I've had a look at your wiki page (information for translators), which is very helpful. I have a couple of questions. ;) 1. What is your timeline? I'd hope to get the interface file translated for release. 2. At the bottom of the status page, you note that: > GNOME has the following at >50%. > bg, ca, cs, de, en_CA, en_GB, es, fi, fr, nb, ne, nl, pl, pt, > pt_BR, ru, sk, sr, sv, uk, vi, zh_CN, and zh_TW I also translate for GNOME, and I can't find Inkscape on the GNOME l10n status pages [1]. If it had been there, I would have translated it long ago, and kept it updated for releases. Where does Inkscape fit in with GNOME? Would I do better to get the interface PO file from GNOME (and if so, how, please?), or directly from SVN? Thanks for your help. :) from Clytie (vi-VN, Vietnamese free-software translation team / nhóm Việt hóa phần mềm tự do) http://groups-beta.google.com/group/vi-VN [1] http://l10n-status.gnome.org/index.html

Re: Authors needed for Inkscape 0.44 articles (cedric GEMY) > I think it could be useful to publish a little newsarticle on Wikinews for the 0.44 release, to make it really public. http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Main_Page http://fr.wikinews.org/wiki/Accueil http://de.wikinews.org/wiki/Hauptseite http://it.wikinews.org/wiki/Pagina_principale I alreddy thought about writing some flashy lines for the german wikinews. Maybe other Inkscape users, especially translators could do that for their language. Greetings vonHalenbach

Once again, thanks a lot. This kind of proactive help is really appreciated. I'll take a look at out Translation pages, and update OmegaT information according to your mail (when I get home). For the moment, I cc this answer to our translation mailing list. Best regards, matiphas

Unmaintained translations?
by Bryce Harrington 12 Jun '06

12 Jun '06

Hi all, Kees mentioned today that he saw another project that modified its makefile to only install translations that were at least XX%. The idea being to avoid installing really poor quality translations. Do you guys think that'd be worthwhile to do for Inkscape too? (And is anyone interested in hooking in the appropriate logic to the makefiles?) Alternatively, I know many of our translations are unmaintained since Sodipodi days, and the percent translated for many are very low (under 10%). Is it at all worthwhile to have these files in our codebase? If they are of no true use, why don't we just eliminate them entirely? This would remove cruft, and improve build/install time. Bryce

0.44 plan of attack
by Aaron Spike 11 Jun '06

11 Jun '06

Bug fixing energy seems to be dwindling. To me this means it is release time. I'd like to get input from others on a few topics. 1) Translation status. Translation is an eternal project. I don't know how to quantify what is good enough for release. Arpad, Matiphas, how are we doing? I think it is time to get serious about this hard freeze and turn to patches, but I want to make sure you are ready. 2) Quality assurance. I looked through the bug tracker. We have some new issues. The font selector crash [1501150] is easy to reproduce, but also quite easy to avoid. Jon was looking into [1501156] last I heard. I've been waiting to hear from bbyak about the snapping bugs [1429049]. I think we are going to hear about [1497837] libgc-6.7 a lot but there seems to be a solution. Are we release quality? If not, I think we are very close. What do others think? 3) Stable branch. We're switching things up a bit this time. We have had a slightly warmed over freeze. And we plan to maintain a stable branch for 0.44. Could we perhaps tie up loose ends and tighten down our committing habits tomorrow, Thursday June 8th? Then in the evening US Central time, I will branch 0.44 we can begin the absolute freeze on that branch, all fixes going into the tracker, and reopen HEAD for those eager to wreak havoc. If all goes well cut the release from the branch on Tuesday. Sound like a plan? Speak up now. :-) Aaron Spike

Translators list in About dialog
by Aleksandar Urosevic 10 Jun '06

10 Jun '06

Hello developers and translators I found that my name is duplicated in Translators list in About box of Inkscape. There is: Aleksandar Urošević <urke@...32...> and Александар Урошевић <urke@...32...> So, I think that is enought to instead of that put only this: Aleksandar Urošević <urke@...53...>, 2004, 2005, 2006 btw, I send updated Serbian translations (sr.po and sr@...54...) to Arpad.
