Welcome Screen Feedback
by Martin Owens 09 Apr '21

09 Apr '21

Hi Translators, We've had some difficulty with the text on the welcome screen, it's a combination of text and graphic and we'd really like to be able to have it translated. Originally we had the text included in the pot file but the technical limitations resulted in size and font issues. To try and fix this situation I spent some time last week sorting out a way we could translate the strings, I've put together some instructions here: https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/blob/1.1.x/share/screens/TRANSLATING which go into how you would translate this text if you wanted to do it yourself. Be careful as the graphics and files are different between the master branch and the 1.1.x branch, translate only the 1.1.x branch But this is extra work for translators. So as well as offering you the above instructions to type set the text for your language yourself into the welcome graphic, I'm going to put the text here and if you send me a response with your language's translation I'll put each into the welcome screen to make sure we get the most amount of translations for the 1.1 release. I'm also interested in your feedback. This system is new, but I believe gives translators the greatest freedom to pick their own fonts and text location within the graphic. But I'm happy to remove it for 1.2 if it turns out to be too much work for translators. Please let me know! The strings are: "Welcome!" "Let's set up a few things..." https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/blob/1.1.x/share/screens/start-welco… https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/blob/1.1.x/share/screens/start-welco… If you have any questions about this specific translation, email me. I'm responsible now for making sure this welcome screen is translated for Inkscape 1.1. Thanks for your help everybody! Best Regards, Martin Owens Inkscape Programmer

Intention to start translating the .po for the program itself in Romanian
by Severus Septimius 08 Apr '21

08 Apr '21

Hello again! I have decided to focus on the translation of the program itself because I think it would be more useful to more people. Anything other than the what's on this page <https://inkscape.org/contribute/translations/> (and of course the links from previous messages) that I should know?

by Marc Jeanmougin 06 Apr '21

06 Apr '21

Hi everyone! We recently released Inkscape 1.1-beta, while planning to release 1.1 next month. You can get the release at https://inkscape.org/release/inkscape-1.1beta1/ for all platforms All testers are encouraged to test this version and report bugs at inkscape.org/report == Packagers == The tarball is not expected to differ much to the beta one, if you want to check that everything is all right for your platform :) == Translators == Thanks for your work! Strings have been frozen for a while, and it's not too late to submit translations until shortly before release date. == Developers == We have now branched the code repo. The new branch 1.1.x now only welcomes bugfixes, translations and easy-to-review changes; while features, performance, code improvements, or anything that was left waiting in prevision of 1.1 are free to go to the main branch. == All contributors == Thanks everyone for your contributions! All the work you're doing in various area, such as UX, outreach, docs, testing and bug triaging, and more, is what makes us a better project over the years :) -- Marc _______________________________________________ Inkscape Translators mailing list -- inkscape-translator(a)lists.inkscape.org To unsubscribe send an email to inkscape-translator-leave(a)lists.inkscape.org

by Maren Hachmann 10 Mar '21

Hello, fellow website translators! These are busy times! For all the organizing, I forgot to notify you all of the new article that came along with the choosing of the finalists. Duarte and Diego worked on their translations even without being prompted - thank you, guys! So, these are our current, not-yet-announced-for-translation news articles on the website: https://inkscape.org/news/2021/03/01/congratulations-top-5-finalists-11-abo… This one is from today, hot off the presses: https://inkscape.org/news/2021/03/09/ozantliukys-art-bot-wins-hearts-votes-… Within the next couple days (probably tomorrow), there are going to be two more articles, one about our virtual booth at Chemnitzer Linux-Tage, and one about Inkscape as a GSOC project in 2021. Thank you all for your help! Kind Regards Maren
