Website translation procedure
by Bryce Harrington 12 Sep '05

12 Sep '05

Hi all, pistoncito asked about how to do translations of the website currently. I figure this suggests we need some sort of documentation, so here's a start. It sounds like we will need to change this process once we figure out how to do the automatic web browser language detection, but until that gets sorted out, we should use this process. I'll also post this to Wiki so folks can update it as better approaches are worked out for it. http://wiki.inkscape.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?WebsiteEditing Translating the Inkscape Website ================================ 1. Do a CVS checkout of the website module. 2. Create a subdirectory at the top level with your language code. I.e.: inkscape_web/es/ 3. Copy pages from the main site into your subdir structure, and begin translating them. Look in the other translated areas for examples of what needs translated. Note: The tutorial translations in the doc/ directory are handled separately from the website translation. These are the files in inkscape_web/doc/*/ that have .XX.html extensions. You do not need to do anything about these pages. Note: The translation of doxygen, wiki, and the various SF pages are separate from the website translation. You do not need to do anything about these pages. 4. Add a flag for your language in the images directory. It should be named inkscape_web/images/flag-XX.png. (where XX is your language code). Next add an img for the flag to inkscape_web/includes/header.php See how the other flags are done in that file as an example. 5. Add a news item to the index page announcing your translation. You are encouraged to write it in both English and your native language. 6. If you have CVS access, then commit your changes to the site. See the Website Editing and Working With CVS documentation for directions. If you do not have CVS access, then show your translation to one of the Inkscape administrators for review. They will then give you access to CVS and the website, so you can deploy your changes. Bryce

navigational plotting
by Paul Hirose 09 Sep '05

09 Sep '05

I'm having trouble drawing a path depicting a vessel's movements. For example, from some starting point, go 123 miles on course 091°, thence 73 miles on course 346°, etc. Drawing any single leg of the trip is no problem. I can make a straight line of a given length, then rotate it to the correct orientation. However, creating these legs individually and placing them end to end gives the diagram a klugey look. The corners don't have the perfect appearance of a path created by successive clicks with the pen tool. I can get the diagram just right by first roughing out the path by eye, then using the Inkscape XML edit feature to modify the node coordinates. To get the correct numbers I perform vector math on a calculator. This is laborious and blunder-prone. Is there a better way?

But I need the support You. and which the use of http://babelfish.altavista.com/ is included/understood I have much communication with people who use Corel of Spanish speech. Waiting for your answer.

problem importing ps
by manouchk 09 Sep '05

09 Sep '05

Hi, I'm trying to import ps from inkscape, it does not work here. I use mandriva and version of inkscape inkscape-0.42-0.1.102mdk. Is there any bug fixes related to this in version 0.42.2. Is it possible to read directly the changelog of inkscape for different version? it seems to run pstoedit that isn't not able to convert from ps to svg (I tried on the command line. When tenting the importation it gives a popup window with this message : pstoedit: version 3.40 / DLL interface 108 (build Mar 19 2005 - release build) : Copyright (C) 1993 - 2005 Wolfgang Glunz Warning: some types of raster images in the input file cannot be converted if the output is sent to standard output and then it says that there is an error : /usr/share/inkscape/extensions/sk2svg.sh: line 9: /home/manu/tmp/tmp.zNhkh10874/sk2svg10872.svg: No such file or directory (probably because the svg file was not created) (By the way to convert from ps to svg I'm using right now pstoedit to convert to .sk and then load the .sk file in skconvert and export to svg, a bit unpractical!!)

Another Inkscape Book update
by Tavmjong Bah 09 Sep '05

09 Sep '05

Hi, I've once again updated my book "A Guide to Inkscape": http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/index.php The book should now cover almost all (if not all "non-experimental") features of Inkscape v0.42. The biggest changes are the completion of the Tiling and Tracing chapters as well as adding an index. This is still a draft. I plan on adding more examples and of course the new v0.43 features when they have stabilized. There are a few things that I don't fully understand. Perhaps someone could enlighten me: 1. Find dialog: What is the use of the "Text" entry box. I could not get it do anything. 2. Gradient handles: Is there a good use for gradient handles that snap to each other? 3. Text and Font dialog, Spell checker: Does this actually work? Thanks, Tav
