Website Updates collection
by Maren Hachmann 25 Aug '16

25 Aug '16

Dear fellow website translators, Here's the latest list of website contents changes (they are all quite small): (click the links to get the full descriptions) https://inkscape.org/en/~Moini/%E2%98%85website-update-learn-tutorials https://inkscape.org/en/~Moini/%E2%98%85website-update-learn-videos-part-i https://inkscape.org/en/~Moini/%E2%98%85website-update-learn-videos-part-ii https://inkscape.org/en/~Moini/%E2%98%85website-update-contribute-contribut… https://inkscape.org/en/~Moini/%E2%98%85website-update-support-us-donate I'm not sure if these diffs are still needed, as it's possible to subscribe to website changes now, and the diff pages are quite complete now (if you click on 'view full diff' in the email you get). On the other hand, there are lots and lots of edits to the web page happening, and only a fraction of those are actually relevant to translators, and screenshot diffs are faster to work with (at least they are for me). What do you think? Would you like to continue receiving these updates by mailing list and screenshot? Or would the subscription to 'All pages' be enough? Thanks for your help with translations, Kind Regards, Maren

Brazilian Portuguese home page draft has duplicated content
by Sylvain Chiron 19 Aug '16

19 Aug '16

Hi, I noticed that the Brazilian Portuguese home page draft (yes, him, again!) at: https://inkscape.org/pt-br/ had its content duplicated (all plugins were present twice, the second occurrence being in English; Roberto might have copied the content from English a second time). I removed the English plugins, but I couldn't remove the duplicated News plugin. Maren, could I get the permission for that? (Or could you do it, at least?) -- Sylvain

Response about arabic pronounciation
by Abdelhak Sidi Ali Mebarek 19 Aug '16

19 Aug '16

Dear Maren, I bielieve it is better to keep it "Inkscape" rather than translating to arabic, we can change it in case of display difficulties later, it's not an essential part. I'll submit a first po as soon as possible :D . Thank you, Regards. Abdelhak S.

Arabic update
by Abdelhak Sidi Ali Mebarek 18 Aug '16

18 Aug '16

Hello again, I hope you all are fine, In order to do things well, I found that it was written "إنكسكيب" in wikipedia arabic, which means that it should be read a little bit like "inkskip" because of the absence of tashkeel (Arabic has a thing named "tashkeel", little symbols on top or bottom of letters that are in some way the equivalent of vowels in latin languages). Should i write it as it is in wikipedia, or follow a phonetic transcription to make the arabic pronounciation closer ? (if it is the case, i'll also need a phonetic transcription of "inkscape", i don't know where to find it) I began translating an empty .po file to arabic, slowly to avoid mistakes, and hopefully it will be good (seems to take a lot of time tough). For the style patch file, i think it's a little bit too early for this, i'll submit a bug report when the time will be adequate. Have a good day/night everyone :D

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

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
by Abdelhak Sidi Ali Mebarek 18 Aug '16

18 Aug '16

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,

Re: [Inkscape-translator] Inkscape website Simplified Chinese translation.

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
