Website: New News about lib2geom

Hello fellow Website Translators, we've got some interesting news about a library that has long been part of Inkscape, and has now been made available for everyone to use in their open source projects: https://inkscape.org/news/2018/11/11/graphics-math-library-2geoms-first-rel… As the project is looking for lots of people to use it, let's help by telling them about it! @Finlay: I'm going to do the German translation here. Thank you, Kind Regards Maren

Website: FAQ and Learn page updated
by Maren Hachmann 06 Nov '18

06 Nov '18

Hi there, website translators! As editing works again, Brynn has made the updates she was planning to do now. 1. On https://inkscape.org/learn/, the link to the videos by heathenx has been updated with a new url and a new description. 2. In the FAQ, an item for another frequent issue has been added: https://inkscape.org/learn/faq/#you-want-select-individual-object-you-can-o… Thank you for your help! @Finlay: Would you have time to take care of the FAQ item? I'm currently quite busy with more things than I should be working on in parallel already... Kind Regards, Maren

Website update: current status
by Maren Hachmann 02 Nov '18

02 Nov '18

Hi there, Martin, Bryce and Travis from our friendly hosters at OSUOSL have worked on switching the inkscape.org website to the newer version this evening. In some parts of the world, due to DNS propagation, you might not yet see the new page, but you will soon (it looks pretty much the same, though, just the backend is newer). It now features a new shiny django (yay!). Unfortunately, it currently has problems with page edits, news edits and resource uploads. Please hold off editing anything on it, to not lose any work. Martin is working on fixing things, and will let you know when it's good for editing again. Downloads and viewing the pages work as usual (except for viewing pasted texts), so most people won't be affected by the issues. Kind Regards, Maren

Shortcut translation progress and troubles
by Giuseppe Mattarella 10 Oct '18

10 Oct '18

Hi to all translators,sending this mail only to state that the translation of shortcuts reference goes on and now im at 30%. During the process i encountered shortcuts that don`t seems correct (differ from english reference) or that are incomplete (eg. ctrl or shift missing in the shortcut like CTRL+keypad 5 that shows just "keypad 5" in en.po file) or again an alternative combination thats missing (present in the english reference like # or SHIFT+3). 1 It is something that i can correct in the italian version (till today did this way)? or i must just translate? 2 in case of missing alternative shortcuts, should i add a new row down the "primary shortcut" ? how to do it? note - till now i simply append (inline on the same row) the second combination after the first one separating the two by a comma is this a good solution ? Thanks for the help and sorry for lenght. Nice day to all.

Website Will be Down in two days
by Martin Owens 09 Oct '18

09 Oct '18

Dear Developers, Translators and affable Users of Inkscape, The Inkscape website at inkscape.org will be down for upgrades soon. This is dependent on when bryce is available for DNS change over. The process involves moving the website to the new CentOS 7.6 server from OSUOSL which is now setup, you can reach this new server by manually setting your /etc/hosts for inkscape.org to 140.211.9.79 and visiting https://inkscape.org Everyone is invited to visit the new site, it looks exactly like the old one. To see if it's still working correctly. It now uses python3 and django 1.11, so there's quite an upgrade planned for all the tech. But so far it's holding steady. The plan is to display this message to users, English only. http://140.211.9.79/ while we move the database and sync up the media. Best Regards, Martin Owens

Website: Copy all from English - NEW BUG!
by Maren Hachmann 08 Oct '18

08 Oct '18

Hi there, dear website translators, on the inkscape.org website, we're currently having a problem with the functionality 'Copy from English'. This functionality does no longer seem to be safe for copying plugin links. --------- This will happen if you try: Copy from English -> get a perfectly normal looking copy -> Edit text and links within -> Save edited link -> Changes do not show -> Save page -> changes show in Edit mode on translated page, and in Edit mode on English page (!) -> Publish -> Links on translated page go missing. Open English page in Edit mode -> see translated links, but not published (now one can revert changes in English, fortunately). --------- Martin is currently working on an updated version of the website which is planned to be released very soon. Our new Italian translator Marco is going to test with the new version if the error will be there, too. Meanwhile, please don't publish any translation with links that have recently been copied from English, without: - first recreating all links - checking the English original afterwards It is currently safe to: - Copy text plugins without any links - Create links and plugins from scratch in your language, and use a text editor to strip all plugins and formatting for transferring the contents from English to your language. - Edit and translate news articles - Edit and translate po files - Share translations for the download page for someone with permissions to upload them to the website's releases system We will keep you updated - please keep your fingers crossed that it's not going to be an issue with the next version of the site! Thank you all, Kind Regards, Maren

Website: News updated
by Maren Hachmann 05 Oct '18

05 Oct '18

Hi there, website translators, even though several people have reviewed the Hackfest news article before it went live, we have overlooked to add one very important part: The 'thank you' to our donators, and the link to donations. We just noticed this during the board meeting, and I've put a new paragraph in at the end. I'm sorry - we don't usually edit news articles after they've been published, but this was much too important to leave out. Thank you very much for your help! Kind Regards, Maren
