Website: a couple of updates
by Maren Hachmann 28 Oct '16

28 Oct '16

Dear website translators, a couple of pages have been updated and added recently: - https://inkscape.org/en/develop/extensions/ has received additional info about extension upload (diff available here: https://inkscape.org/en/cms/diff/?revision_from=53016&revision_to=55864) - the About Screen Contests page has left draft status and is now in use: https://inkscape.org/en/community/about-screen-contests/ - the download pages for the different systems have been shortened and simplified, and received a couple of new images. There are now no more duplications that make editing seem like duplicate work. However, for those pages, a replacement is in the makings. It will soon be used, but not at the time of the release for 0.92 yet. All those pages will need editing when the new version is released. I'm not sure what to recommend to you - do the editing now, and just replace a couple of links when the release is out, or do all the work in one go when it really needs to be done. I think I will go with the first option for German, trying to distribute the work that needs doing a bit more evenly. If you do not get around to translating the pages in time for the release, you can also unpublish them (and, if that's not enough to make them not be displayed, delete the plugins for your language - a known bug), so the fallback in English is going to be used. There isn't a lot of text on any of them, so it shouldn't be too much of a problem for users. I will try to help with that, so we won't have too many outdated files linked from the download section. These are the pages that have been revised: https://inkscape.org/en/download/ https://inkscape.org/en/download/linux/ https://inkscape.org/en/download/windows/ https://inkscape.org/en/download/mac-os/ https://inkscape.org/en/download/source/ This one is new: https://inkscape.org/en/download/development-versions/ The following one will be replaced by a redirect to the extensions in the gallery soon (I think): https://inkscape.org/en/download/addons/ Thank you all for your help, Regards, Maren

Hi everyone, two news articles are ready for translation - one about the Windows preview builds being available, and one for the About Screen contest. So, if you're on Windows, you can now try out the preview, and use it to create an About Screen contest entry ;-) Regards, Maren

Release notes: Translations can start
by Maren Hachmann 20 Oct '16

20 Oct '16

Hi translators, Bryce just sent an updated release plan to the devel mailing list. It included this relevant section for us: -------------------------- 6. Release Notes - Apart from perhaps adding a few more known issues, we are probably at a point we can consider the Notes complete. This would be a good point to start translating them (or to bring existing translations up to date.) http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Release_notes/0.92 ------------------------- I will start working on the German version today - but as it's a long text, it's certainly enough work for two or three people. If anyone wants to help, please contact me, so we can divide the work. If you need Wiki access, please send a message to either the devs, docs or developers mailing list, and also include the username you'd like to use. I'll also update the news article to include links to the compiled Windows packages, will send you a message when that is done. Thanks, everyone! Kind Regards, Maren

Which translations should be included in 0.92 release?
by Eduard Braun 19 Oct '16

19 Oct '16

(CCing the "translators" list, since this concerns them, too, but please keep discussion on "devel") Hi all, I'm in the progress of updating the Windows installer for 0.92 release and asked myself which languages should be included in the final package? Are there some guidelines or do we simply include all of them, even if they're mostly outdated? How was this handled in the past? Since languages seem to be hardcoded in "src/inkscape-preferences.cpp" we probably can not just drop those languages during packaging. Otherwise the language would still be offered as a choice, even if it's not present (which is is also an issue if the user decides not to install translations during installation). FYI current language statistics are attached (I hope it get's through), otherwise a copy is available from [1]. Best Regards, Eduard [1] https://inkscape.org/de/gallery/item/10140/po_statistics_0.92.x.html

Translation memory?
by Victor Westmann 13 Oct '16

13 Oct '16

Hi guys, how are all of you doing today? :) I was just wondering... I'm on a Windows machine, (Windows 7 64 bit) and I mainly use the paid version of Poedit (I only paid because it is a software I use for a long time and I believe in contributing money to the developer). But I was just wondering.. is there a more efficient way you guys translate your po files for Inkscape project? Is there a way you guys use translation memory? Is there a way we can get past translations from past versions of Inkscape and reuse them in the current translation? Preferably automated way? :) Any thoughts? Cheers. --Victor Westmann

Website: Next release page updated
by Maren Hachmann 11 Oct '16

11 Oct '16

Hi everyone, the 'The next release' page (https://inkscape.org/en/develop/next-release/) has been updated to match the list Bryce sent to the developers' mailing list (this one: https://sourceforge.net/p/inkscape/mailman/message/35409237/). The diff is available here: https://inkscape.org/en/cms/diff/?revision_from=55354&revision_to=55583 (doesn't reflect the additional classes in the source code for the check marks, though) There's no urgency to update the page right now, so if you're working on finalizing the Inkscape program translations, don't let this detract you ;-) Regards, Maren
