Need for DISCLAIMER?
by Elias Norberg 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

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

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

[Fwd: Inkscape manual page translations]
by Joshua A. Andler 03 Sep '09

Hey all! helix84 came to me with a question that I do not have an answer to and have been unable to get one so far (6 weeks later now). With that, I will get this question out to our translators and developers in general to see if anyone in our community knows or can find out. Please read below. Cheers, Josh -------- Forwarded Message -------- From: helix84 <helix84@...150...> Reply-to: helix84@...150... To: Josh Andler <scislac@...5...> Subject: Inkscape manual page translations Date: Tue, 21 Jul 2009 10:47:33 +0200 Hello, I believe you're the release warden for 0.47. Can you help me with the following issue? I translated the inkscape.pod file to Slovak and I'd like to see it included in 0.47. 1) I'm not sure where to add it so it will build (because I don't understand autotools very well) 2) I can't get it to build correctly and I have this problem with the existing French manpage, too I tried it on Ubuntu 9.04: pod2man -u --center=Inkscape inkscape.sk.pod > inkscape.sk.1 man -l inkscape.sk.1 With the -u option it munges the non-ASCII characters, without it it adds A~X sequences. When I did a normal make, inkscape.fr.1 was created but this has the same problem - note the A~X sequences. I noticed the utf8-to-roff filter in the makefile but I don't know how to use it. Anyway it seems it's used for the French file in the makefile so it probably doesn't work. Regards ~~helix84

Updates for translations of 0.47
by Yuri Chornoivan 19 Aug '09

19 Aug '09

Hi! Some time ago I've finished translation (Ukrainian) and decided to commit it in a common way. But to my shame my usual committer said that it is too late for the translations because now Inkscape is in hard freeze. May it be that I have a little chance to commit translation before the release? Can someone commit the translation? Thanks in advance, Yuri

Scoured SVG
by helix84 18 Aug '09

18 Aug '09

Hello, I just noticed a new output format "Scoured SVG". I had to look up what it means and I don't think the user should need to do so. I suggest we replace this string with "Optimized SVG" (I translated it this way as there is no meaningful translation of the original). Does anyone object? Regards ~~helix84

Tutorials not getting into the build?
by Arpad Biro 03 Aug '09

03 Aug '09

Hi, It seems that several tutorial files are not listed in the tutorial makefile. Am I right in thinking that all *svg and *png files in inkscape/share/tutorials/ should be listed in inkscape/share/tutorials/Makefile.am, otherwise they will not get into the build? The current list of files in question: http://inkscape.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/inkscape/inkscape/trunk/share/tu… The current Makefile.am in that directory: http://inkscape.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/inkscape/inkscape/trunk/share/tu… The files which are in the directory but not in Makefile.am: edge3d.svg potrace-ca.png potrace-es.png potrace-pt_BR.png potrace-sl.png potrace-vi.png potrace-zh_CN.png potrace-zh_TW.png tutorial-advanced.eu.svg tutorial-advanced.pl.svg tutorial-advanced.sk.svg tutorial-advanced.zh_TW.svg tutorial-basic.eo.svg tutorial-basic.eu.svg tutorial-basic.pl.svg tutorial-basic.zh_TW.svg tutorial-calligraphy.eu.svg tutorial-calligraphy.pl.svg tutorial-calligraphy.sk.svg tutorial-calligraphy.zh_TW.svg tutorial-elements.eu.svg tutorial-elements.pl.svg tutorial-elements.zh_TW.svg tutorial-interpolate.de.svg tutorial-interpolate.pl.svg tutorial-interpolate.sl.svg tutorial-interpolate.svg tutorial-interpolate.vi.svg tutorial-shapes.eu.svg tutorial-shapes.pl.svg tutorial-shapes.sk.svg tutorial-shapes.zh_TW.svg tutorial-tips.eu.svg tutorial-tips.pl.svg tutorial-tips.vi.svg tutorial-tips.zh_TW.svg tutorial-tracing.eu.svg tutorial-tracing.pl.svg tutorial-tracing.zh_TW.svg After building Inkscape, I don't see any of these files in my /usr/local/share/inkscape/tutorials/, but I guess they should be there and this depends on Makefile.am. Could someone clarify this situation? Also, the English "tutorial-tracing.svg" file refers to "potrace-en.png", but there's no such file, only "potrace.png". Does this mean we should also rename that file to "potrace-en.png"? Arpad Biro
