New Translation
by M. Bashir Al-Noimi 15 Feb '08

15 Feb '08

Hi All, I'll start Arabic translation for inkscape tomorrow, but before start translation process I would like to be sure that my starting point is correct. I've downloaded latest SVN code from "inkscape/trunk" folder, but I noticed that there are many folders in SVN one of them called "inkscape_project", so I'm asking you if my downloaded folder is the correct one? another thing: I noticed that there aren't "pot" file for translations!, I found "po" files only?!, so is translation process must starting from "po" file like "en_GB.po"? -- Best Regards تحياتي Muhammad Bashir Al-Noimi محمد بشير النعيمي My Blog مدونتي http://mbnoimi.net/

french translation
by Florent Becker 13 Feb '08

13 Feb '08

Hi all, is anyone working on a french translation of inkscape's interface ? I'm planning to do one, as fr.po looks a bit old, but I would not want to duplicate efforts if someone is already doing one. Thanks Florent

Feature freeze and translations
by Luca Bruno 12 Feb '08

12 Feb '08

Hi, yesterday Inkscape entered feature freeze for 0.46. At this time most strings are already in place. I'd ask you to translate your .po and check if there are string/translation missing in the interface. I've updated all .po (and my inkscape.pot as well) to latest SVN, so just doing svn up will bring you your actual language.po. Please note that some strings may still change, as we aren't yet in the string freeze. I'll warn you once we'll reach that phase. Thanks for your contributions. Cheers, Luca N.B. https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/169103 is still open, and I've lost any clues about did. Can somebody investigate (and maybe fix) it? -- .''`. ** Debian GNU/Linux ** | Luca Bruno : :' : The Universal O.S. | lucab (AT) debian.org `. `'` | GPG Key ID: 3BFB9FB3 `- http://www.debian.org | Debian GNU/Linux Developer

If it's not applied yet, I'll test it and give it a go. I only tested it locally but it worked OK for me yet it seems not to have been committed to SVN just yet so I guess you would have to apply this patch manually to your local working copy.

Tutorial translation proofreading
by Ocetalo 12 Feb '08

12 Feb '08

Greetings I'm a freelance translator English-Spanish translator and also do style proofreading. When I downloaded Inkscape I found the included Spanish tutorials needed proofreading to make them more clear and "friendly". I was planning to do it but now that next version will be released so soon, I guess there's no use in proofreading tutorials of the current. Should I do it anyway, or should I ask for the tutorial files of the next version to proofread them? Please help on this.

There is nothing to wait for as you should have noticed this bug has already been solved and committed. Will hopefully benefit all translations.

Tutorial translations: switching to xml2po
by Colin Marquardt 10 Feb '08

10 Feb '08

Hi, is there anyone who objects using xml2po for the tutorial translations? See http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/DocumentationTranslation for the process. With xml2po, translators would get regular po files to translate, with all the positive effects (no manual looking for string changes; more dedicated tools than for Docbook; familiarity of amny translators with the format; translator credits for free (even though we don't pull them yet for the About box); strings from included images are in the same file; the Gnome people are using it; and probably some more). I am using xml2po for the German translation since pre-0.45, and it worked quite well so far. I have started automating the conversion process to HTML/SVG (to the then intermediate Docbook XML) in SVN. So if there are no valid objections overriding the plusses, I will soon start converting all translated Docbook XML files to the po format. Please submit any translated XML files that are not yet in SVN. I think now is a good time to tackle that process, considering that 0.46 is probably a while but not too far away, and there are quite some efforts going into tutorials recently (thanks Ryan :). Cheers Colin PS: I'm cmarqu on IRC.
