[Fwd: Docs translations]
by Dimitris Glezos
(mostly forwarding from similar mail on Docs list)
Hey all.
Today we had a lengthy discussion on IRC about the way we should handle
translations in Fedora. The plan is basically to move applications (and their PO
files) that are being developed on elvis (a RH server) over to
'cvs.fedoraproject.org'. It seems that this will not happen before the F7 release.
We have already created a CVS group 'cvsl10n' and all translators will be asked
to open Fedora accounts and will be added to this group.
As a Docs project, we have the choice *not* to wait for F7 and migrate the
translation process right away. The 'fp.org -> i18n -> fp' process for PO files
is tedious for quaid and stickster. This means that translations for Docs will
happen in the Docs repository, which is much easier for translators (as long as
they have a Fedora account).
If there is no objection, the Docs project can apply the 'cvsl10n' ACLs on the
po directory right away and test the translator's access. After that, we'll
create a 'l10n.fedoraproject.org' to throw on it the translation statistics.
Anyone who has any TurboGears experience, please step forward. :)
This is basically a beta test for transferring all Fedora apps on Fedora
infrastructure. If there is no objection from the L10n team, let's start rocking.

Anaconda - typos
by Renato Pavičić
Hi,
I've just found one typo:
"The partitioning scheme you requestedgenerated the following warnings."
And duplicated (?) line (first one has double space after first sentence):
"Recent kernels (2.4 or newer) need significantly more swap than older
kernels, up to twice the amount of RAM on the system. You currently have
%dMB of swap configured, but you may create additional swap space on one
of your file systems now."
"Recent kernels (2.4 or newer) need significantly more swap than older
kernels, up to twice the amount of RAM on the system. You currently have
%dMB of swap configured, but you may create additional swap space on one
of your file systems now."

L10n CVS plans
by Dimitris Glezos
Hi all.
This is an update for the idea to move translations to Fedora Infrastructure.
In FOSDEM we discussed the possibility about moving localization over on the
Fedora Account System (FAS). This is very beneficial since translators will not
need to create a different account for translations and is in line with the
whole Merge effort.
We crafted a small Roadmap for the CVS move at [1]. The plan is to move all the
`po` files and instruct and help those members who don't already have an account
on FAS to create one.
[1]: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/L10N/Projects/FedoraCVSInfrastructure
I'm sure our team (and probably the Ambassadors one) can help out anyone who
might have a problem with the account creation by acting as Mentors.
In the following days we'll try to get a decision on this and implement it ASAP.
We will discuss it with the Infrastructure folks and let the Board know about it.

smolt not translateable (#230970)
by Josep Puigdemont
Hi,
During the installation of F7t2 I realized that the smolt screen in
firstboot was not translated, even if firstboot seems to be 100%
translated for my language.
I looked at firstboot modules, and it seems the smolt part belongs to
the "smolt-firstboot" rpm, unfortunately this module is not included in
the "translate" cvs module that translators use for translating fedora.
Could someone please add it to "translate", or make it part of
firstboot?
I reported this in #230970.
Thanks!
/Josep
P.S.: Sorry if you get a duplicate of the mail, I first sent it to the
wrong list (i18n).

informal translator survey
by Bill Nottingham
Some random questions...
1) Would you, as a translator, be OK with having to use git, mercurial,
subversion, or cvs, depending on which app you're translating?
2) Would you, as a translator, be OK with doing all translating through
a web-based application?

Permissions on .po files
by Runa Bhattacharjee
Hi,
The permissions for the .po files is set to read-only when they are
modified in the server repo. It is not a big deal changing the
permissions, but it does become a tad bit irritating after a while when
you start working on a file and then have to go back to change the
permissions. IIRC, this was not the case earlier. Is there any special
reason why this feature has been put in place?
thanks in advance

Re: Removal of obsolete norwegian bokmål translations

So, what would need to happen:
1) file bugs for everything that has 'no' in ALL_LINGUAS
2) move all translators that aren't signed up for 'nb' but are
for 'no' over
3) nuke 'no' from the translation system
4) nuke the files
5) clean up the builds that fail :)
I can do #2-#4, if someone wants to do #1.
