I've started making a Slovak translation for Inkscape a few days ago.
I
was unsatisfied with the state of SK translation and meanings of some words. Some of them didn't made sense in graphics world althought
they
were translated correctly. So this this not to be taken as jaw out on previous translator. About 20% is done allready. Hope to finish this
in
about 2-3 weeks ;)
That is great! But also more great it would be if you finish it before the release of 0.44.1 version ;-) (the .po file for this version can be found in .tar.gz package of .44.1-pre1 available at sf.net)
I'll try, we will have two holidays in Slovakia next week so I'll be off the phone and translating like wheeee ;)
Great, if you have any trouble with translating those days, feel free to join us in #inkscape channel at freenode.net or on jabber conference inkscape at conference.gristle.org. At least one member of the team of translators is usually online to help :)
OK, if anything goes wrong I'll be there. But hope everything will end up with a sleek slovak speaking inkscape ;)
There is one important note, have you already contacted previous translators of the sk.po file if they are not working on it? (To avoid duplication of work).
Ooops, I didn't :( I assumed that they stopped working on it after the patch was closed, see http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1512088&gro... and no other progress was visible last months. But I'll try to contact with them (him?)
Try to contact him and also Zdenko Podobný or slovak language team (both email addresses can be found in the header of sk.po file). Also there was one volunteer a few months ago who wanted to translate too; but I haven't heard about him since the day he tried to communicate with Zdenko & company :) His name/nick was ssuuddoo @gmail iirc. If they tell you that someone is already working on the translation of interface of Inkscape, there are another things to translate, like tutorials, website(I hope we could join czech and slovak translation of inkscape.org website, we have already some pages done in czech)
Yep the tutorials are the next thing I want to translate. The web is definetly huge for a one man and I think slovak speaking people clearly understand czech language so I could help translating the web to czech language. What about that?
