Italian translator for Inkscape website
by Firas Hanife 16 Nov '16

16 Nov '16

Hello Inkscape translators! My name is Firas and I'm the Italian translator of Inkscape. I decided to join the website translators team to improve the overall software experience for non English users and also incourage new people to use Inkscape. For now it's all! I'm happy to be part of this! Now it's time to look at the work to do! Ciao, Firas

Updated .pot file for 0.92
by Eduard Braun 13 Nov '16

13 Nov '16

Hi all, it seems we're getting closer and closer to the 0.92 release (Bryce just tagged 0.92pre3). In order to give everybody the possibility to translate the latest strings, too, I just updated the inkscape.pot file again and additionally synced all *.po files [1]. You can check out the /po directory [2] to see the latest files and see if you covered all the latest strings. There are two notable changes: * Two additional LPEs ("Rotate copies" and "Mirror symmetry") are now included in translations that were missed before. * As you might have heard Tavmjong did some UI changes for mesh gradients and backported some fixes that introduced new strings, too. Regards and happy translating, Eduard [1] http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~inkscape.dev/inkscape/0.92.x/revision/15185 [2] http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~inkscape.dev/inkscape/0.92.x/files/head:/po/

Website: New news: About Screen Contest voting started
by Maren Hachmann 13 Nov '16

13 Nov '16

Dear website translators (and contest participant :-)), Voting for the About Screen Contest has just started, so there's a news article for this: https://inkscape.org/en/news/2016/11/10/vote-your-favorite-about-screen/ (and don't forget to vote after/before translating ;-) - I find it extremely hard to choose, there are so many that are just great!) Kind Regards, Maren

Website: Getting Started page updated/ Branding / Contests page
by Maren Hachmann 09 Nov '16

09 Nov '16

Dear website translators, to account for the usage of cmake, and to help Linux users compile Inkscape for different directories, the Getting Started page was updated. http://inkscape.org/en/develop/getting-started/ (section about Building on Linux, with subsections). On the devel list, I've asked for someone to help with updating the Win / OS X sections, and wanted to wait before I ask for your translation help, but I guess that will take a while, or might need further, more direct prodding, so we can have the website ready for 0.92 in time. Also, a Branding page was added, so all the materials needed for contests (About screen, or T-Shirt, etc.) are available in one location: http://www.inkscape.org/en/about/branding/ And a link to the new page was added to the About Screen Contest page: https://inkscape.org/en/community/about-screen-contests/ (and the link to the logo now goes to the branding page, so people get to see all variants). Thanks for all your help - I've seen that some of you have been very active these last days :) Kind Regards, Maren

Localization Tool
by Yaron Shahrabani 08 Nov '16

08 Nov '16

Hi guys, My name is Yaron and I haven't contributed to his magnificent tool in very long years. I went through the documentation and saw that we're in 2016 and the translators still need to download the files and translate them manually. I want to suggest an open source translation hosting and application called WebLate by Michal Cihar (The creator of Wammu/Gammu for those who remember). This system is tightly integrated with the VCS, and the most important part: it supports Bazaar. This is the web address: http://www.weblate.org Michal is very kind and I really like working with WebLate. I can do all the coordination needed and we don't need to use it exclusively so it won't interfere with the current method. Thank you all, Yaron Shahrabani <DevOps - Hebrew translator>

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
