Re: [Inkscape-translator] Forking Inkscape on gitlab to work on translations

Hi Yaron, welcome back! And thanks for exploring Crowdin. What do you see as their advantages? I've taken a look at their website, and all I could find was a proprietary, hosted program, with free plans for open source projects on request :-( They don't appear to be open source, as far as I could find. This looks like it could be a quick-set-up option for interim solutions for small teams outside of the official Inkscape project, but if it's meant to be official, it would need to be open source. Have you also had a look at other translation web interfaces recently? It's hard to stay up-to-date, we need more eyes :) This is what I found out about Weblate: I must admit that the first setup is pretty slow. Filling the database took 20 minutes for 6 languages out of 90, then I had to break off, it was getting too late, will try again another day, and maybe not with the full Inkscape repo, but with inkscape-docs. They added a lot of control options and also translation memory and multiple machine translation options since I last had a look. The translation interface could be more straightforward (the menus - and especially getting back to where I came from - were confusing). The functionality seems to be just fine. It allows discussions, comments, screenshot uploads (you told me about that previously, but I couldn't take a look then). Will need to do some more testing when I get my Hackfest Laptop from Tuxedo (they are going to lend it to me for that time, and are a sponsor of Kielux). Do you have any other systems to suggest for testing?

Forking Inkscape on gitlab to work on translations
by Firas Hanife 25 Jul '18

25 Jul '18

Hello, I'm the current Italian translator for Inkscape. In the last years I worked alone on the translations, but now I have been contacted by some users that would like to contribute to the translation work. I created a fork on gitlab for Inkscape: https://gitlab.com/FirasH/inkscape and for Inkscape documentation: https://gitlab.com/FirasH/documentation but I don't know how to configure my fork to do the following: 1) keep it up to date with master and 0.92.x except for the translation files I added the original repo as mirrored, but as soon as I push a commit request I get an error due to mismatch between my fork and the original one (mirrored). 2) keep the "names" of the people who contributed to my fork in the commits (that I will review, then create a merge request) Thanks in advance, Firas

Hi everyone, Ryan has published the article about our hacker's meeting in Boston! It's available on the website from here: https://inkscape.org/en/news/2018/05/22/2018-boston-inkscape-hackfest/ Maybe this would be a great thing to start with for our most recent members? Let me know what you think, Jiajun and Artur! Finlay, would you have time to help with the German translation? I'm a bit busy at the moment and could use your help. Thank you, and happy translating, Maren

Arabic months
by Abdelhak Sidi Ali Mebarek 04 Jul '18

04 Jul '18

Hi, After a (very) long time, i will try to contribute, this time hopefully more efficiently. I was looking at the Arabic po file of Inkscape, and found months names i didn't understood. A little googling helped me understand that these were Mesopotamia names, and that the most used ones were those used in Egypt and Sudan (these are very close to Maghreb countries too). I want to make the switch, but i thought that sending this email before was important, maybe the use of Mesopotamia names was on purpose.

Self introduction "Artur"
by Artur Wróblewski 13 Jun '18

13 Jun '18

Hi all, I am a Artur. I would like to translate the Inkscape software interface and Inkscape Web page to Polish . Who am I? I am an engineer working every day in a company producing heavy vehicles. I have10 years of experience in design (in software: SolidWorks,DraftSight,AutoCAD). As a freelancer, I do: 3D modeling (Blender,3Ds Max), Creating textures (Gimp,Substance Designer,Substance Painter ), Create game assets(Unity3d, CryEngine) Create script for Unity3d, CryEngine (Java, C++, C#). I like to do: hand drawing (pencil,eraser,fine line pen), digital painting (Krita, Corel Painter), create vector drawings (Inkscape). I spent the last 3 or 4 years for my family and did not do much with additional jobs. Children have grown a bit so I can go back to what I like. I do not have too much time yet but I hope that she will be able to do a full translation of the website and software in a year or two. I still do not understand the mechanisms of this website :) and translations. My first translation does not work exactly as I would like. But with questions, I will wait until I read the entire Wiki page for translators. If anyone has questions for me, ask me a lot. Regards, Artur Wróblewski

Fwd: Self introduction "Artur"
by Artur Wróblewski 20 May '18

20 May '18

Yes exactly , the first page was the problem. I can see that the rest of the pages are partially translated. Is it possible to take a local copy of the inkscape Website to test its modification? (for example Linux+apache+sql+wordpress) Where can I find a tutorial on how to set an inkscape page on my own server? I do not even know what CMS is used on the site. So far I have used mainly for wordpress. Just out of curiosity, what type of translation software do you use? I'm asking about personal preferences (each of you). Not what is available on the market. Do you use any dictionaries? is it integrated with your software. Do you prefer to manually translate the word by word. I do not know how to translate the content in CMS yet. :) Regards, Artur Wróblewski 2018-05-15 0:49 GMT+02:00 Maren Hachmann <maren@...325...>: > Hi Artur, > > and welcome :) > > Thank you for introducing yourself, you seem like an avid graphics > experimenter! > > Having a technical background will make translations easier for you (not > because of the terminology, but because of the tools). > > What is it that doesn't work with your first translation?
