English FAQ is becoming Brazilian
by Sylvain Chiron 18 Aug '16

Hi, Testing the website, I noticed that the beginning of the English FAQ is now in Brazilian Portuguese in the draft side. Maren, could you revert that mistake of our dear Bob? The translation is a bit longer on the Brazilian Portuguese page. -- Sylvain

I'm new here

Hello, I hope you all are fine ! So, as Mr. Hachmann adivsed me, i'm sending this e-mail to introduce myself. I'm looking forward to contribute (obviously) to the translation part, and this in two languages : French, and perhaps Arabic. I'm an 18 years old from Oran, Algeria. I'm starting engineering studies this year. I started touching graphic design back in 2009 trying every single tool of GIMP, manipulating images, then it was the graphic creation; i also learned some coding and had some experience in front-end development, but that's not the point. In resume, 3 years ago, and exactly the day i discovered and understood what Inkscape is, changed my life, my approach to design including my abilities. Naturally, it's like a duty to contribute to such a project, even with the smallest thing i could do, and i hope that i will :) Have a good day/night eveyone, i would be pleased to have some responses and advices if you can, please. Cheers from Algeria Peace Abdelhak S,

I don't think this once happened to me; I rather remember times when I forgot to publish or didn't at the moment because I was in a hurry.

Well, do you see the fourth column with colored discs, that one where each of them is green and which has ‘FR’ at the top? Uh… Actually, I'm wrong, I see one blue dot, probably coming from the time when I tested editing the Screenshots page, wondering why there were only and exactly two plugins in it. Pop. No more blue dots in my column. If for example you save a plugin without changing it, or move your plugins but reset their order later, the CMS will register the draft has changed. > But of course, anyone should make sure from time to time that they have > published everything they intended to publish ;) > > Regards, > Maren All the best, -- Sylvain

Hi everyone, thank you, Duarte and Sylvain for helping out :) Just a reminder for the 'old' translators and info for our new team members: When you translate an 'official' text, which has legal importance, like licence or trademark policy, please include a short sentence saying something like this: [Translator's note: The official English original text can be found at <http://inkscape.org/en/about/trademark-policy/>. This is just an inofficial <language> translation of <page title>. Only the English original text is legally binding.] (see German version of trademark policy for an example how this could be added to the page: https://inkscape.org/de/ueber/markenrecht-richtlinien/) Thank you all for your hard work today! Kind Regards, Maren

I must publish everything independently. - No, I was wrong, found that out yesterday, but only have time now to fix my error here :) The thing that caused me to believe this was a bug in cmsdiff. So: @Everyone: publishing only publishes the page you see! > You actually risk seeing your content published by someone else as I don't like unpublished contents. It tends to be forgotten and to linger without anyone knowing the purpose. - Sylvain, please only publish your own work - people may still be working on something and want to make corrections before they publish. > I don't want any language to mimic the current state of the Korean language (all its pages are drafs; the home page is published but not the last version; and I'm pretty sure nobody knows what it means). - I think this is due to that bug in django-cms, which needed a quick workaround fix some time ago. Translated pages can't be deleted easily, but unpublishing worked, I think. Just leave it as it is. > Hey, that's worse than I thought. Why are there so many blue and grey dots (in the list of pages in the administration interface)?

But of course, anyone should make sure from time to time that they have published everything they intended to publish ;) Regards, Maren

Click in Delete button will have affect only to version translated?
by Tipigão Bob 14 Jul '16

14 Jul '16

Hi All, I published the page https://inkscape.org/en/about/trademark-policy/translated in the link https://inkscape.org/pt-br/sobre/politica-de-marca-registrada/ and it seems to me that somehow got mixed with the content in English, I don't know what could have happened, because I was translating the words without affecting the formatting. If I click Delete, will have affect only the version that I'm translating right? Regards, Roberto Silva twitter: @Tipigao

Inkscape website Simplified Chinese translation.
by min zhang 14 Jul '16

14 Jul '16

Hello to all, My name is Min Zhang and I'm from China. I love Linux and open-souce, and by chance I knew about Inkscape and find it very handy. I also joined few other open-source translation team. Now it's time to say Hello to Inkscape. After some tuning and testing, I'm almost finished translating inkscape-website.po file into Simplified Chinese. There are still 4 strings left, I really don't know what they are about and how to translate, I've uploaded my work to github( https://github.com/zm1990s/blog/blob/master/django_zh.po) and maybe someone could help me with those 4 strings (line 618,line 3109)? As soon as I finished this, I'd be glad to translate inkscape website with those online editing tools. Could anyone give me the right permission to do that? My username is *zm1990s*. Thank you. One more thing, I noticed someone has already created Chinese pages in Inkscape, and there's another language called "簡體中文", the thing is Chinese equals "簡體中文", and the actual “簡體中文” 's content is Traditional Chinese！ I'm trying to say is you should replace “簡體中文” with "繁體中文". And maybe better replace "Chinese" with "简体中文".

(Sent this only to Min accidentally this morning - webmail interface is really annoying...) Hi Min, welcome aboard :) > After some tuning and testing, I'm almost finished translating > inkscape-website.po file into Simplified Chinese. - Great! > There are still 4 strings left, I really don't know what they are about and > how to translate, I've uploaded my work to github( > https://github.com/zm1990s/blog/blob/master/django_zh.po) and maybe someone > could help me with those 4 strings (line 618,line 3109)? 618: This link will be used as absolute url for this item and replaces the view logic. <br />Note that by default this only applies for items with an empty \"content\" field. This is an internal string which is only exposed to people who have permission to edit news. It is possible to post a link instead of a whole news item. If the news does not have a contents, the link will be used instead. #: cmsplugin_news/models.py:98 msgid "Translated version of another news item." Internal string. Can't find it used anywhere in the news entry forms. It's just saying 'This is a translation of a news article'. 3109: User agent os match, whole string. and User agent os version partial match, e.g. |10|11| will match both version and version 11, must have pipes at start and end of string. These are internal strings, only used for administration of the website. They are the description of text fields where the administrator enters a search term for the user's operating system. It will be used to try and match the user's browser's user agent string (the webbrowser tells you what operating system it is running on). This will be used to give a user the download file for the operating system he/she is using. > As soon as I finished this, I'd be glad to translate inkscape website with those online editing tools. Could anyone give me the right permission to do > that? My username is *zm1990s*. Thank you. - Done. Please be very careful when working on the website, and read http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/WebSite carefully. As written in the previous email to Bob, it's easy to break things at inkscape.org (but less easy than it once was, fortunately). If you need help or have a question, don't hesitate to ask here again. > One more thing, I noticed someone has already created Chinese pages in Inkscape, and there's another language called "ç°¡é«ä¸æ", the thing is Chinese > equals "ç°¡é«ä¸æ", and the actual âç°¡é«ä¸æâ 's content is Traditional Chineseï¼ I'm > trying to say is you should replace âç°¡é«ä¸æâ with > "ç¹é«ä¸æ". And maybe better > replace "Chinese" with "ç®ä½ä¸æ". - Could you make this problem a bug report, and provide translation / English versions of the problematic language names, so it will be easier for those who can't read them to do a web search? (hant, hans... I guess?) It's probably a problem in django-cms or django (i.e. upstream), but I'm not sure. This is where Inkscape Website bugs live: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape-web Kind Regards, Maren
