Hello Inkscape translators ! I just want to say hello to you. I had translated the inkscape basic-tutorial and some of the inkscape FAQ on the homepage from english to german (my native language). I agree with Matiphas about translation priorities and the difficulties to translate some "special words". I had experienced difficulties with keyboard-shortcuts because some keys on "european keyboards" were on other keys as third-funktion or were missing completly. For example the scaling and rotating with the german keyboard were not possible. That means the software had to be changed first to solve that issue. I think it is a bit unusual to translate the tutorials straight forward and then to write in brackets (sorry this funktion is not possible in our language because the keys on your keyboard are wrong). Other than that, i am very willing to translate more of inkscape, because it is such a good project and that is the only possibility for me to contribute (i am no developer). nice greetings Stefan vonHalenbach

Translation priorities
by Matiphas 30 Apr '06

30 Apr '06

Hi all, there are a lot of documents to translate in order to bring a complete localized version of Inkscape, here is a sum-up (plus my personnal ranking). - the software (plus extensions) strings : language.po (obviously : priority 1 for me) - some text documents in the tree (hacking.txt, readme.txt, install.txt ...) (priority 3 : quite stable, not really time consumming, but not readen by a lot users) - tutorials (priority 2 : of great added value for users + embedded in terface) - keyboard shortcuts (priority 3 : of great added value for users + embedded in terface) - release notes (time consumming but can be of great added value for users + potential users) - specific web pages on Inkscape site (not stable at all :(, time consumming, great added value for the marketing of Inkscape) I'd like to read some of your experiences on those tasks, what importance do you give to them, what is your evaluated ratio 'time consummed' / 'added value' regards matiphas

What do you see as the major bottlenecks in the translation process currently? Maybe we can do something to address that.

Or even better, how can I help ? :) Yes, go to the inkscape website, click on 'Wiki' and then the "TranslationInformation" link. That'll give you all the basics of doing translation work. Also, make sure to see who was the last person to work on the Portuguese translation, and drop them an email to coordinate efforts with them. Bryce
