fedoraproject.org is ready for translation
by Kévin Raymond
Hi there,
The today Go/No-Go meeting is a No-Go for RC1, the GA has slipped to
May 29th.
That is going to let you more time for translations, which is not too
bad!
We've just managed to have the fedoraproject.org website ready for
translations.
The content is not fully written yet, but which is aleady written should
not change.
We just miss a small Clouds section, and changes in the interviews
and quotes.
But what you are actually able to translate is all that we can give you
today.
The TXN fedoraproject.org f17-beta release has been locked, and merged
in the unlocked master one, at
https://fedora.transifex.net/projects/p/fedora-web/resource/fedoraproject...
Proofreading is made at http://stg.fedoraproject.org/
The spins.fpo is going to be updated ASAP, be aware that some strings
will change shortly.
Please, report to us any typo.
Thanks, happy translating!

by Valentin Laskov
Hi all,
In f.p.o website, by default for downloading will be Fedora 17 64-bit
version. I think that this must be mentioned in the Release notes.
Best regards!

The Future of release names
by Toshio Kuratomi
At the last Board Meeting, the Board looked at the poll results asking
whether people felt like continuing to name releases. The results seemed
to show that many people do like having a name associated with Fedora
releases. However, the discussion before and after has shown there is
a desire to improve upon the current method of selecting the names.
The Board decided that it would be worthwhile to come up with a new
procedure for selecting the name for the Fedora 19 release and beyond to
attempt to solve some of the issues that have been brought up. The Board
is looking for volunteers who would like to do two things:
(1) Answer the following questions:
* What benefits does the Project get from the current release naming
process?
* What changes do people want to see in a revised process?
(2) Come up with at least one proposal and analyze it according to the
answers to the previous questions.
If anyone is interested in coming to a weekly meeting to work on this,
please feel free to contact me. If anyone would like to champion this,
please contact me ASAP so I know whether there is someone else who's going
to champion this or if I need to lead the effort.
I've put up a wiki page that tries to summarize the answers to the first two
questions that I've seen circulated on the advisory-board mailing list and a
link to the only proposal I currently know of (mizmo's proposal to use
a single theme for all of the new Fedora releases).
Thanks,
-Toshio

Release Notes update
by John J. McDonough
We had a rash of bugs to the release notes, many from translators --
thank you very much. We appreciate that.
However, that did result in having to push updated POTs. Most are tiny
typo changes, but in one case there is an entirely new section,
Installation.
My apologies for the late change, especially to the Ukranian team who
was complete. Most of those I should have caught earlier, although
there is no way I would have caught the installation change.

Fwd: Please check your sources for strings not marked for translation before release
by Ankit Patel
Thought of forwarding it here as it also occurs with us in most of the
Fedora packages where Fedora is upstream. We (translators) always try to
find out where did we miss the translations when we find that a
particular package has something viewed in English during the testing phase.
So, developers, please please check or make sure that you are marking
all translatable messages as translatable, otherwise it would never come
to us (translators) and would never go to end users as localized messages.
Thanks a lot!

Subject: Please check your sources for strings not marked for
translation before release
Date: Mon, 07 May 2012 13:59:45 +0200

Hallo developers.
Since the release of GNOME 3.4 we have received a steady stream of
emails saying "This is not a string freeze break, we just forgot to mark
the strings for translation". So much so, that the statistics e.g. for
my language (which has not been touched since release) now counts 63*
untranslated or fuzzy strings in a source that was at 0 at release time,
three weeks ago.
I understand the reason for not counting marking existing strings as a
string freeze break. But please understand that even though you are in
your right to fix things like this post release, and even though it off
course makes sense to do it, it does not mean that it is not annoying
and a burden for translators.
The reason for this is that we concentrate large amounts of work in the
period just before release (where string changes are relatively quiet),
so therefore it is also an advantage for us if we can finish as much of
it as possible in that period (of course also because a lot of us has an
extra hat as distribution translators for distributions that follow
within a month or so of the gnome release). On top of that, small
updates are uncharacteristically expensive in a work/string-sense
because they involve the same amount of emails back and forth for
proofreading and git work.
So please... If you could make a bit more of an effort of checking your
sources for non-internationalized strings before release that would be
great. IMHO 63 is just a bit on the high side of where this number should be
Regards Kenneth
* These 63 off course also include genuinely new strings due e.g. to bug
fixes.
