Hey Translators, I just wanted to inform you about a late-in-the release string change that took place in preferences. Autosave page was renamed to save and an option (and tooltip) were added. Cheers, Josh >>> I agree. Attached is a patch which adds an option to the Preferences >>> to choose between both kinds of behaviour. I renamed the "Autosave" >>> page to "Save" and added the option there because it seemed most >>> logical; please let me know if you disagree. I'm not sure if this >>> patch is acceptable during freeze since in some sense it adds a >>> feature, but I'd regard it more as a bug fix so I'm sending it anyway >>> and leave it to the release wardens to decide.

0.47 tutorials update
by Nicolas Dufour 01 Oct '09

01 Oct '09

Hi all, Some tutorial strings (basic, advanced and tips) have been updated recently. Could you please check your tutorials po files (http://inkscape.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/inkscape/doc-docbook/trunk/)? 0.47 is almost ready, and I'm afraid we don't have loads of time. Thanks! Regards, -- Nicolas (jazzynico)

Hi all, > Because some elements are taken from gtk. Probably Basque localization for Mint isn't completed. Not the reason for this case. Messages are from Inkscape's PO files. It looks like there blend es and eu files. > Yes, it regularly happens. I know accidents in Ukrainian, Slovenian and > other teams. > But wrong list... You should complain to > ubuntu-translators@...228... or stop using Ubuntu-based > distributions. Some basque users told me another bugs like this happened some months ago in Launchpad with KDE module, in Ubuntu KDE's UI appears in Hungarian language instead of Basque. I'm not sure it that bug was fixed or not. I use Debian, but other users prefer Ubuntu, and from my point of view, this is a really serious bug to be forget or don't take care of. I'm going to contact them to solve this bug. Thanks 2 all, and best regards, Dooteo

Translations of the about.svg for 0.47

(Sorry for not replying "for real" but I only just joined the list..) >I would like to ask the author (Johan Forsberg) of the about.svg displayed when choosing Help -> >About -> Splash to provide some translated versions of the graphic. >The xx.po-files allow for a translation of the part "Draw Freely" written beneath the version number >in the way that one can enter a string pointing to an altered splash-screen sitting in >/share/inkscape/screens in the inkscape installation directory. >For German it would be "about.de.svg" and "Frei Zeichnen" instead of "Draw Freely". Maybe other >translators would like to join in for their languages? That would be great, although I guess "draw freely" is sort of a play on words in english that may not translate too well to other languages..? BTW, I was thinking of using the usual "draw freely" style (e.g. as seen in the 0.46 about splash) but I didn't do it because I wasn't sure where it came from. Apparently it would be OK to use it, but how to translate it? I don't have the font... /Johan

About Launchpad translation system
by dooteo 29 Sep '09

29 Sep '09

Hi all, Last week I installed Mint (based on Ubuntu) in a computer. Right now, I'm begin to draw with Inkscape (0.46 version) on that computer, where I found a bad taste surprise! Even Inkscape 0.46 was completely translated to Basque lang, it has some messages translated to Spanish :( Usually I work on Debian system, where I had Inkscape 0.46 installed. On Debian Inkscape is absolutely in Basque (eu) language. That's why I guess there is some problem in Ubuntu's Launchpad system. Did another language team has any problem like this? Best regards, Dooteo

Also if people have new things that come up, the 0.48 page is the place for them. Once we hit the main announcement, I'll update the wiki main page to link also to the 0.48 release notes.

Translations of the about.svg for 0.47
by Alexander Senger 26 Sep '09

26 Sep '09

Hello, I would like to ask the author (Johan Forsberg) of the about.svg displayed when choosing Help -> About -> Splash to provide some translated versions of the graphic. The xx.po-files allow for a translation of the part "Draw Freely" written beneath the version number in the way that one can enter a string pointing to an altered splash-screen sitting in /share/inkscape/screens in the inkscape installation directory. For German it would be "about.de.svg" and "Frei Zeichnen" instead of "Draw Freely". Maybe other translators would like to join in for their languages? Cheers Alex

Need for DISCLAIMER?
by Elias Norberg 14 Sep '09

14 Sep '09

Hi! I'm chopping away at the swedish translation (which is not exactly up to date), and now I'm wondering about the legal details of translations. It seems many projects (GNU projects foremost) require (or prefer) a signed disclaimer to be sent to project managers. I see no such mention in the translation guidelines - is this anything I/you/we need to worry about? Or do we just "sign off" the translation ala linux, with a short disclaimer stating that it's all free from proprietary work? -E

please check tutorial filenames in your translations
by Arpad Biro 06 Sep '09

Dear Translators, As most of you probably know, you need to modify the translation of tutorial filenames in order to have your localized tutorials appear instead of the default (English) ones. It's not enough to translate the tutorial itself, you also have to put the name of your localized svg file in the main PO file. The strings for this purpose are: #. TRANSLATORS: If you have translated the tutorial-basic.svg file to your language, #. then translate this string as "tutorial-basic.LANG.svg" (where LANG is your language #. code); otherwise leave as "tutorial-basic.svg". #: ../src/verbs.cpp:1912 msgid "tutorial-basic.svg" msgid "tutorial-shapes.svg" msgid "tutorial-advanced.svg" msgid "tutorial-tracing.svg" msgid "tutorial-calligraphy.svg" msgid "tutorial-elements.svg" msgid "tutorial-tips.svg" An example from the French (fr) translation: msgid "tutorial-basic.svg" msgstr "tutorial-basic.fr.svg" Because the "tutorial-basic.svg" string is translated as "tutorial-basic.fr.svg", Inkscape will display the French basic tutorial for French users, and not the English one. I checked the PO files and saw a few translations where the English filename was not translated to the localized one. I'd like to ask translators of these languages to review their PO files and make the appropriate changes: da eo eu it tr zh_CN Thanks, Arpad Biro

please update your translations
by Arpad Biro 06 Sep '09

06 Sep '09

Dear Translators, A large patch has recently been applied because of this bugreport: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/408093 The patch introduces a few dozen fuzzy strings in translations. Since a lot of them are introduced by corrections to English typos, in most cases you only have to remove the fuzzy tag. Please review your translations. Arpad Biro
