Where is Sinhala support?
by Danishka Navin
Hi All,
I was wondering, how come Sinhala Support removed from the Fedora 9 LiveCD.
[1]
There is no Sinhala interface for the Fedora 9 installation (tested on
X86_64), installed Sinhala support dring the post installation.
But Fedora 8 was really good for the Sinhala support.
Not only that till Fedora 8, it was the only distro, which gave default
support for the Sinhala and it was appreciated by government people as well.

Lost in translation (Ubuntu and Launchpad translations)
by Valent Turkovic
Hi,
I have came a cross an issue that I didn't see discussed in this
mailing list, but if there was such a discussion before please point
me to it.
First I have noticed that in previous and latest Ubuntu release that
Gnome translation is much better that I see in Fedora 8 and 9. I
wondered why and contacted croatian gnome translation team. The reason
is that they use Ubuntu Launchpad to do the translations and so all
translation are not automatically pushed to upstream gnome.
I feel that this is broken by design. There are options to export
translations from Lauchpad and we are working on getting them to
upstream Gnome right now. I can only guess but I suspect that our
translation team is not the only one caught in this "lost in
translation" Lauchpad trap. There are probably lots of translation
teams around the world using launchpad to do their translations.
So my questions is - has there been any talk with Ubuntu developers
and translators regarding this? Do you think this is an issue? Why?
How is translation in Fedora handling translation and upstream?
Thank you for your time,
Valent, croatian Fedora Ambassador.

MediaWiki
by Oron Peled
Hi,
I'm the Hebrew translation team coordinator
(http://translate.fedoraproject.org/teams/he) and after reading
your call (http://ianweller.org/2008/05/19/hello-mediawiki.html)
tried to test the new MediaWiki infrastructure.
Generally we know MediaWiki has excellent l18n support (including
Hebrew support) which is evidenced on http://he.wikipedia.org/wiki.
However, looking at https://publictest1.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Main_Page
brought some questions:
1. I didn't see any explicit language selection box.
Is localized support gone or should it be auto-selected
according the the browser language preferences?
I tested the later option with my FF set to (he,es,en).
Since I got back English I assume there is no automatic
language selection.
The best (IMO) could be automatic language by browser
preference, with an override option on the pages (like in fp.o)
2. Because of (1.) above, I couldn't check if the wiki has
localized controls. The existing wiki have partial Hebrew
control/navigation (done by upstream). Wikipedia has full
localized navigation. What would we get in Fedora deployment
of MediaWiki?
3. Another important topic is Hebrew content. Since Hebrew is
an RTL (Right-to-Left) language (like Arabic, Farsi and some
others) there need to be specific support for this.
MediaWiki have the required infrastructure (as can be seen
in the wikipedia link above). Is it correctly installed/configured
in Fedora?
BTW: About two months ago when we started the Hebrew team we had
this problem with the current wiki and it was solved very
nicely by ricky (at fp.o) using some simple css modifications.
[example http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/he_IL/FedoraMain]
Unrelated issue: I cannot login to the test server. Tried
both my FAS login and the old wiki login. Both fail (which
would hamper further testing).
Bye and thanks for the (huge) work. I'm sure the migration would
be a big step forward even if there are minor hiccups at the
begginning.

Fedora 9 release notes: final updates
by Murray McAllister
Hi,
The last lot of zero-day Fedora 9 web-only release notes updates have
been committed to CVS. These will also become part of the
fedora-release-notes-9.0.2-1 package.
A summary of the changes:
* OverView.xml: A new section on PreUpgrade has been added, as well as
a small change, "Firefox 3" to "Firefox 3 (beta 5)".
* Desktop.xml:
- more information added to 10.1.2. GNOME Display Manager.
- a new, very small section, 10.3. PackageKit, has been added.
- minor changes and removals (for example, an "x86_64" was removed).
- a small section, 10.6.1. NSpluginwrapper, has been added.
- minor content and new command have been added to 10.6.2.
Enabling Flash Plugin.
- a new section, 10.7. Mail Clients, has been added.
Since it is the weekend, I pushed the final time and date for
translation submissions to UTC 2359, 2008-05-21, which will give
everyone an extra day over the original schedule.
Thank you all very much again for all of your tireless efforts!
Apologies if any of the above details are incorrect, or if I have left
something out.
Kind Regards,
Murray.
