Website: New news article / General status info

27 May '23

Hi all, there's a new news article available for translation on the inkscape.org website: https://inkscape.org/news/2023/05/23/meet-inkscapes-new-about-screen-artist/ It has lots and lots of html formatting / CSS styling (looks awesome, but makes translating harder), so please be careful and switch to source mode, if you need to! ------------------ On another note, I've decided that I'm done with reviewing strings for 1.3, and opened a few merge requests to various Inkscape repositories. They are not merged yet, and they touch many strings. I'll let you know when it's all in and strings are stable enough to translate. ------------------ The docs repository has not been updated yet for 1.3. If someone would like to help by reading through the tutorials to check whether any changes are required, please do and let us know in an issue for the docs repo if there is something that needs to be updated for 1.3! https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape-docs/documentation Kind Regards Maren

Correction: We DO expect many of the new strings to change until then, I'm in the process of reviewing and trying to understand those. I'm hoping to have good developer support for this task, as has been the case with those that I've already tackled.

05 Apr '23

Hi Inkscape Contributors! It's that time of the year again :) We invite you to cast your vote on the 5 awesome About Screen Contest submissions that were favorited by 242 voting Community members. For this year's About Screen Contest, we have had 55 submissions from the Community, 49 of which met the requirements (licensing, branding etc.). These are the 5 items they liked the most: * "A long journey“ by Chris Hildenbrand * "Contest“ by Djelita Abderrahmane * "Creative Growth“ by Chris Hildenbrand * "Isometric Madness“ by Denis Kuznetsky * "Portal“ by Milad Moosavi (in alphabetical order) In this two-step selection process, it is now up to us, the Inkscape Contributors, to select the About Screen that we want for Inkscape 1.3. It's going to be a difficult choice, as they are all so cool :D Step 1: ======= Make sure that you are an Inkscape Member (see previous message or link below), and if you're not one yet, apply for membership and ask 3 of your team mates or other contributors whom you have worked with to confirm your membership. More info: https://inkscape.org/*membership/blog/inkscape-signs-new-fsa-sfc/ Step 2: ======= Visit https://inkscape.org/gallery/=artwork/inkscape-13-about-screen-contributor-… and rank the 5 images by clicking on the little circle right below them in order of preference (most liked first). The voting period starts NOW, and ends on April 9, 23:59 UTC. Voting is on the website only. The announcement of the winning entry is planned for April 11. Thank you to everyone who contributed to this year's About Screen Contest! Maren

Become an Inkscape Project Member!
by Maren Hachmann 28 Mar '23

28 Mar '23

Dear Inkscape Contributors, it's time to make your Inkscape Membership official! With that come voting rights for all kinds of regular contributors - like translators, social media managers, forum moderators, documentation writers, testers, bug managers, ... - (not only developers anymore!). The first occasion we will be using that for is the Contributor Vote for the ongoing About Screen Contest (contributor voting starts tomorrow, and will end on April 9, 23:59 UTC, there will be a separate email for that!), which is also going to be a bit of a test of the membership system for the upcoming Inkscape PLC election. Read all about it here: https://inkscape.org/*membership/blog/inkscape-signs-new-fsa-sfc/ If you have any questions or are looking for people to confirm your membership request, please ask away in the #general rocket.chat channel. In some cases, it will be helpful to state the nature of your contributions to the project, or to approach those directly who know about your contributions. Please approve membership requests of those whom you know to be a contributor by first hand experience, and do not approve other membership requests, as in the worst case, when the person is not a contributor, that can get your own membership revoked. Thank you to the PLC and the SFC for getting that set up for us, to the website team for providing infrastructure for it, and to the Vectors team for writing about it! Maren

Fwd: Translating in a new language
by Maren Hachmann 27 Mar '23

27 Mar '23

Forwarding, as it may be of general interest: -------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: Re: [Inkscape-translator] Translating in a new language Datum: Sun, 26 Mar 2023 15:34:06 +0200 Hi Robert (sorry, had the name wrong in the direct email :-( ), welcome! So, generally, people start translating from the English version, not any other language version, because that is complete, and all other translations are both incomplete, as well as possibly incorrect. For Bosnian, I'd rather take Croatian for comparison, which is much closer to Bosnian. If you need German translations for comparison, too - most translation programs support showing translations in other languages for orientation. You should *not* start from a different language's file, but make your own, if your language does not exist yet. The files to use for your translation and the processes involved are described from https://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Interface_translation#Interface_Tr… Please read, and also check out https://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/Translation_information and subpages for more information. Let us know either here or in the translator chat when you have any questions about what you find there.
