SVN: new (unstable!) strings to translate
by Colin Marquardt 16 Jun '07

16 Jun '07

Hi translators, in SVN, I ran "make update-po" in order to update all po files with original strings from the current unstable sources. Some (many?) of these strings might still change, but if you want to have it easier when release time comes, it might make sense to work on the translation already. Your choice. (FWIW, the new po files are in revision 15136.) Cheers Colin

Cannnot commit the translation
by Khoem Sokhem 28 Mar '07

28 Mar '07

Hi All, I have used svn checkout from: svn co https://inkscape.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/inkscape/inkscape/trunk, it works well. But when I update the translations for km.po (Khmer translations) and try to commit the translations to the svn repository, it says: svn: Commit failed (details follow): svn: MKACTIVITY of '/svnroot/inkscape/!svn/act/26ab70f4-b42c-0410-a3c6-d38219d3d748': authorization failed (https://inkscape.svn.sourceforge.net) all@...118...:/home/inkscape/trunk> Am I doing something wrong? Any idea about this problem? Thank for your idea, Sokhem

Re: [Inkscape-translator] 0.45.1: Small translation changes

This > especially must be done after string freeze.' That was perfectly correct... It *seems* that there were some string changes after the last update-po run for 0.45 (most in ../src/extension/internal/emf-win32-inout.cpp, although the last change to that file was on 2006-11-13 which is strange) - so we were missing these translated strings in 0.45 also. Conclusion for now: translators, take a look at your translations and update these few strings. The files can be downloaded from http://inkscape.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/inkscape/inkscape/branches/RELEA… if you don't want to get an SVN checkout. Cheers Colin

Inkscape at LGM 2007 Montreal
by Bryce Harrington 16 Mar '07

16 Mar '07

May 4-6 is the Libre Graphics Meeting in Montreal. Mark it on your calendars! http://www.libregraphicsmeeting.org/ We hope to gather a huge number of Inkscape developers and users to talk face to face about Inkscape, new features, ideas, and so on. See It would be useful to know who all will be there. Can you email me off-list if you are thinking about attending? (Sponsorship will be available, so if cost is an issue let me know.)

0.45.1: Small translation changes
by Colin Marquardt 16 Mar '07

16 Mar '07

Hi, it seems that translations in the 0.45.1 branch got some new (< 10) fuzzy strings. Also, the very first msgid which is meant for metadata has a strange header: #: ../src/widgets/toolbox.cpp:4037 ../src/widgets/toolbox.cpp:4058 #: ../src/widgets/toolbox.cpp:4087 ../src/widgets/toolbox.cpp:4108 #: ../src/widgets/toolbox.cpp:4135 msgid "" msgstr "" "Project-Id-Version: inkscape\n" [...] All these toolbox.cpp lines should not be there. They don't seem to hurt though. If someone has time to dig into this and possibly revert a commit, please do, I myself probably won't find the time before the 0.45.1 release. Cheers Colin

Spanish Language
by Juan Miguel Ramirez 10 Mar '07

10 Mar '07

Hello everybody! My name is Juan Miguel Ramirez and I translated some news may time ago and now I am translating "untranslated things" over Inkscape website. I have translated all the news from the frontpage and I will continue with other sections. I only want to ask some general questions: 1. If there is a link to an external resource (like the setting up Gaim for inkscape: http://inkscape.gristle.org/gaim.html ) what would you recommend to do?: a) create an html on inkscape website with the content? b) Try to contact with the owner's resource to create an html on his server? 2. How I have to coordinate with other spanish translators? 3. Who are the other members helping with the translation into spanish? That's all!! :D

On 2/28/07 jiho wrote: > Having an official manual distributed with Inkscape would greatly > enhance its dissemination. You are right: an official manual should be available. I wouldn't like to undermine Tavmjong's effort, however, and I see nothing bad in Kevin's usinginkscape.com. But: a) a user manual should be available without Internet access; b) a user manual should be available in as many languages as possible. c) a user manual has to be written in such a way that it could be used for context sensitive help; d) a user manual browser should have a search function; e) a user manual should be "aware" of existing tutorials. The e) is an issue maker, since our tutorials are SVG files, not just illustrated hypertext. The idea behind SVG is great. But what is the real situation? Do users actually appreciate it? I've heard quite a dozen of times users complaining that opening a tutorial takes too much time and noone ever mentioned how much fun it is to be able to draw right in a tutorial. So, if we want Inkscape's documentation to rock the world, we need to know: 1. Do we have human resources to maintain a good thorough user manual? If we do, what would be the best way to organize this work? 2. Do we have human resources to maintain translations (Cedric's & Kevin's XML file in SVN is about 500 Kbyte large)? If we do, what would be the best way to organize their work? 3. Is it possible to reuse GIMP's approach to context help? 4. What should we use as user manual's browser? My thoughts on some of the above. 1. We do not have such human resources as of now. We have neither one single coordinator of the documentation effort, nor instant contributors. If I am wrong, please stand up high and blame me :) 2 . We _might_ have human resources to provide translation of the manual into _some_ languages. I know that at least German and Brazilian communities are quite active, dunno for others. There is no way a single person can instantly maintain such a huge translation, stay sane and be able to work to pay the bills :) A team of 2-3 people is a minimum. That's what I know from my experience with translation of GIMP's docs. Please share your thoughts. Cheers, Alexandre
