by Maren Hachmann 05 Apr '23

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!

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

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.

Hi everyone! My name is Jakub and I decided to help the translation of Inkscape from English to Polish. I work as a WordPress WebDeveloper on a daily basis, and in my free time I try to help others as much as I can. In this case, it will be translation :-) I am glad that I was given the opportunity to join the team. Best regards! Jakub the Polish Translator

missing string for translation (and another one not appearing translated)
by Cristian Secară 26 Feb '23

26 Feb '23

In 1.3 test version (at least on Windows), open Object > Symbols... In the right pane there is a drop down menu that says Current document / All symbol sets / etc. with these two strings in English only. 1. The "Current document" string appears to be missing from the .pot file. 2. There is one "All symbols set" string already translated, but probably it belongs to other menu (?) as it has no influence on the one mentioned here. Checked with de and it also – no difference. ??

start-welcome-text.svg is available for 1.3 ?
by Cristian Secară 26 Feb '23

26 Feb '23

Here we go again: the development build for 1.3 appears to have a new welcome text, which says "Welcome to INKSCAPE /n Drawing you to freedom". Is this the final version ? In case yes, is there a template available ? Or a clue about the fonts used ? The file from test build has the text path-ed already. I see no 1.3 version at the 'usual' pace for this [1] and there is no "Drawing you to freedom" text in the .pot file, at least not in the one I assume is the one to be used as reference for 1.3 [2].
