Fedora Bounty for translations
by Dimitris Glezos
Hey all.
I just written a proposal for a Google Summer of Code for "an
upstream-compatible L10N platform for Fedora".
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraBounties#L10NPlatform
Comments? Suggestions?
Anyone experienced in Python thinking of taking it? GSoC pays around $4000
(€3000) for each successfully completed project plus $500 that go to the Fedora
Project.

Asbjørn Nilsen Riseth
by Asbjørn Nilsen Riseth
Hi, my name is Asbjørn Nilsen Riseth, and I'm living in Oslo, Norway.
I have just recently joined the localization-project, and as the
conscientious boy I am, I introduce myself
to you according to the steps found here:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/L10N/Join/SelfIntroduction
Hope I do this right the first time:P
I was born the 11th May 1990(16 years old), and currently I go to upper
secondary school(simlar to high school I believe).
_Me and the Fedora Project:_
This is the first time I take part in any project in the open-source
world. I did this spontaneously yesterday,
when I found a spelling error in the desctop-effects GUI. First I looked
up if there was any way to submit a
translation "bug", but I changed my mind and said to myself: "Why not join
the Fedora Project instead?"
And so I did:P
My first thought was just to translate things that has not been
translated yet into Norwegian, primarily
GUI. But of course, I will see how this works, and maybe I can translate
some docs or wiki-pages to. If needed I
could also translate some Norwegian Nynorsk, but my mother tounge is
Norwegian Bokmål.
_Historical qualifications:_
Well, as I said I haven't done anything like this before. My experience
with GNU/Linux started with Fedora Core 5,
so I haven't got time to explore everything there is to explore yet,
though I believe my computerskills may
qualify to "experienced"(still, everything is relative).
I have done some programming over the last 3/4 years; have had a look at
several different languages.
I can't say I got any exceptional skills in any programming language, but
I know a little in many. In the
comming years I may go in deeper in some programming language, when I know
what I feel comfortable with.

DocsProject common entities -- problem with translations?
by Dimitris Glezos
Hi all.
The Docs Project is thinking of substituting entities like "Fedora 7" in all
documentation with "&FC;", so that these entities won't change with each
upgrade. For example, now we have in the PO:
This paragraph is about Fedora.
The change will make this:
This paragraph is about &FED;.
Is there any language that would have a problem with this? One such problem
would be languages which change nouns ("Fedora") in different types of
sentences, for example:
* "This is Fedora"
* "These features of Fedora"
* "Burn Fedora on a CD"
In greek we've left these untranslated and we won't have a problem. What about
other languages? Is everyone OK with this?

New statistics targets
by Paul W. Frields
I've added a couple new targets to our Makefile.common for use by
translators and repo managers:
make postat
make postat-${LANG} (e.g.: make postat-pa)
These targets will give you information on the current statistics for
all languages (or a specific language). These targets rely, of course,
on the definition of ${OTHERS} in the Makefile. If you need to force a
new ${LANG} because it's not defined in the Makefile yet, you can use
the form:
OTHERS=${MYLANG} make -e postat-${MYLANG}
e.g.: OTHERS=xx make -e postat-xx
Output is clipped from the normal "msgfmt --stat" command to look like
one of the following, where TT is translated, FF is fuzzy, and UU is
untranslated:
xx: TT/
xx: TT/UU/
xx: TT/FF/UU

Specspo questions
by Martin Bacovsky
Hi,
I'm maintainer of specspo package. I want to generate new po catalogue
for translation and have some questions.
Current process looks now like this:
- generate new po catalgue from selected rpm repos (usually
rawhide-nightly)
- commit the changes on ELVIS cvs tree
- translation team hard-work here
- after they commit their changes put everything to tarball and update
specspo on DIST with it
- wait till next release (FC or RHEL) and goto 1
This shows we have currently just one specspo ELVIS upstream for
everything we release. This specspo includes everything I decide to
include according to what we are about to release.
Problems:
- it is not possible to regenerate catalogues for recent release. If
package descr or summary changes for recent product we are not able to
do the translation (or at least I don't know how)
- upstream on ELVIS is not updated, it is recreated from scratch (from
different sources) - this can make troubles to translation team (?)
- we have one specspo for everything (this can contain a lot of packages
not included in dist).
Questions:
- should specspo contain every package we produce or we should make
specspo with just packages included in dist? (cvs branches for different
releases on elvis can help)
- where can I get list of packages included in release?
- should we include all extras packages?
Any comment or idea would be appreciated.
Regards,
Martin

Release Notes for F7test4 - POT available
by Paul W. Frields
The POT for Release Notes for F7test4 is now available for translators
in the Fedora Docs CVS. For instructions, please refer to the
Translation Quick Start Guide¹, Chapter 4, "Translating Documentation."
Please make sure you apply for cvsdocs access to be able to commit your
translations!
** The deadline for PO files is 2359 UTC, April 14th 2007.² **
The module is available here:
$ cvs -d :ext:<username>@cvs.fedoraproject.org:/cvs/docs co
release-notes-devel
Please test your translations for validity by running "make
validate-xml-<LANG>" when finished. If you have specific problems with
the output, you can get help from the Fedora Documentation Project
either on fedora-docs-list(a)redhat.com or on IRC Freenode in channel
#fedora-docs.
The following PO files have been created so far³:
ca cs da de el es fi fr gu hr it ja ml ms nb nl pa pl pt_BR pt ru
sr@Latn sr sv ta uk zh_CN zh_TW
If you translate another language, you can follow the instructions in
the document above to add a new language to the list.
Thank you for your time and efforts!

³ The following languages need to have common entity PO files created
before any documents can be built in those languages:

Question about the translation process of fedora 7 relnotes
by Yuan Yijun
Hi,
I have some question about translation process. Vmlinuz may going to
translate it.
* What is the CVS url for fedora 7 relnotes?
* What group should translator have in the fedora account system?
* How to begin translation, I cannot find RELEASE-NOTES on fedora i18n
status page, so how can I "TAKE" it? I rememberred for fc6 relnotes it
was here: http://i18n.redhat.com/cgi-bin/i18n-status?page=status&branch=HEAD&locale...
* How to notify the others that I'm translating it?
* When will POT file get ready, will there be any email notifications?
* Do I need to modify "Makefile" and run "make xxxxx" to generate
zh_CN.po as before?
Thanks!
