Ubuntu translations videocast

Danes, 27.1.  ob 17.00 bo na ustream video seja v kateri bo koordinator Ubuntu prevajalcev, ki je zaposlen pri podjetju Canonical, David Planella, razlagal o tem kako prevodi pridejo v Ubuntu.

Shematski prikaz celotnega postopka je narisan spodaj.

Za sodelovanje v razpravi si ustvarite račun na strani ustream ali pa svoja morebitna vprašanja zastavite na kanalu #ubuntu-translators na strežniku irc.freenode.net.

Se vidimo!

3. sestanek prevajalcev Ubuntuja

V ponedeljek 31.01. ob 20.00 bomo imeli mesečni sestanek prevajalcev Ubuntuja.

Pridružite se mu tako, da ste ob pravem času v naši klepetalnici. Za udeležbo na sestanku vam ni treba biti prevajalec. Dovolj je, da ste firbec ;).
 Še posebno pa ste na sestanek vabljeni vsi, ki razmišljate o tem, da bi se prevajalski skupini pridružili in vas zanima kaj se dogaja.

Osnutek dnevnega reda je že na voljo. Da bo sestanek potekal čim bolj učinkovito, si vzemite nekaj minutk in si ga preberite. Seveda pa lahko dodate tudi svoje predloge in popravke.

Se tipkamo v ponedeljek!

Novi zmožnosti v launchpadu

V kratkem bosta v launchpadu na voljo dve novi zmožnosti, ki nam bosta lajšali življenje:

• Samodejno usklajevanje z izvornimi projekti v launchpadu. V launchpadu se v nasprotju s splošnim mnenjem ne prevaja le ubuntu amapk tudi mnogo drugih odprtokodnih programov, ki izkoriščajo relativno enostavnost sistema in velikost prevajalskih skupnosti. Prevajalce je mnogo lažje dobiti v launchpadu kot pa z objavo na domači strani projekta. Nova zmožnost bo omogočila, da bodo nizi, ki so prevedeni v Ubuntuju samodejno uporabljeni tudi v izvornem projektu v launchpadu. To bo odstranilo dosedanje podvajanje dela in pohitrilo prevajalsko delo
• Hitrejše uvažanje iz izvornih projektov. Do sedaj se je launchpad za uvoz zanašal na pakete tar. Tako so bili na primer prevodi GNOME uvoženi šele, ko je izšla različica 2.32.1 in ne prej. Sedaj bodo paketi samodejno uvoženi dan ali dva po tem ko bodo poslani na strežnik projekta. To bo zmanjšalo možnosti podvojevanja dela (do sedaj je bil zaradi zamika lahko paket v launchpadu videti le deloma preveden, čeprav je v GNOME bil preveden), ter zmanjšalo čas do odpravljanja napak.

Za prevajalce bosta obe spremembi dokaj neopazni.

Naslednja zmožnost na kateri bodo začela delati ekipa rosette (launchpad vmesnika za prevajanje) je poenostavljanje izvoza v izvorne projekte (upstream). Če bo zadeva dobro delovala, bo to zelo dobrodošla zmožnost, saj nam sedaj izvažanje in pošiljanje paketov k izvornim projektom vzame kar nekaj časa, za nekatere projekte (na primer compiz) pa je to zaradi nedorečene prevajalske strukture skoraj nemogoče.

Več o novih zmožnostih si lahko ogledate na videoposnetku.

LXDE

Pred kratkim smo dobili dovoljenja za skrbništvo nad prevajanjem nizov namiznega okolja LXDE. Glavni značilnosti LXDE sta njegova enostavnost za uporabo ter nizka uporaba pomnilnika (RAM) v primerjavi z uveljavljenimi namiznimi okolji kot so GNOME, KDE in XFCE.

Zato se LXDE uporablja predvsem na manj zmogljivi strojni opremi (mini prenosniki, starejša strojna oprema), na njem pa temelji neuradni član družine Ubuntu, Lubuntu.

Za prevajanje se uporablja spletni vmesnik Pootle.

Namizje LXDE vsebuje relativno malo nizov zato je zelo primerno za prevajalske začetnike.

Če vas zanima slovenjenje LXDE ali drugih odprtokodnih programov v launchpadu, stopite v  stik z nami.

Na voljo je nova različica pojmovnika

Po zaslugi naših usklajevalcev pojmov je ponovno na voljo nova, še večja in boljša ter na splošno super različica pojmovnika. V dobrem mesecu dni je bilo dodanih skoraj 100 (natančneje 95) novih pojmov, sedaj jih je skupaj že 958. 

Nov pojmovnik lahko vidite tukaj. Na vrhu strani so izpostavljeni nizi, ki so bili dodani ta krog. 

Če menite, da pojmovniku še kakšen niz manjka, ga lahko predlagate tu. Dodan pa je bil tudi nov odsek trdih orehov, kjer lahko za zahtevne nize dodate utemljitve zakaj je določen predlog primeren ali ne. 

Na voljo je tudi posodobljena datoteka en-sl-dict za oblaček prevodov ter tudi celoten paket.

Prevajalsko pivo - januar 2011

Napočil je čas za novo prevajalsko pivo, ki bo v torek, 11.1. ob 19.00 v baru Cezar pri Ljubljanski borzi.

Razpravljali bomo o prevodih, Ubuntuju in drugih življensko pomembnih temah.

Vabljeni ste vsi, ki vas zanimata prevajanje ubuntuja in drugih odprtokodnih programov, ubuntu ali linux kot tak, ali pa bi radi svojim priljubljenim prevajalcem na vsak način kupili pivo :).

Year 2010 in review for slovenian translation team

New year is great time to look in the past, reflect upon the work done, see what's been done, congratulate oneself for that, make plans and bravely start a new year.

We are sharing this with all of you because:

• We are deeply proud on our achievements
• We would like to get comments from other teams as well (how did you experience 2010 - share it on your blog or in the comments)

As mentioned before year 2010 was really amazingly awesome for Slovenian translation team!

Detailed description below is mostly talking about work done in launchpad and gnome translation project as those are the most important for ubuntu distribution:

• We finished the translation of gnome-extra section. We were actively maintaining the translations throughout 2010 so you were able to some something like the image below for most of 2010:

• We also managed to finish most of the GUI translations. We are still missing a bit of gnome-office and external dependencies. We hope to complete it fully in 2011.

• Together with other translation groups we have managed to accept first version of word list, which contained about 300 terms. It's been constantly updating and growing throughout the year. Current version contains close to 900 terms.
• After the first version of word list, which solved some terminology disagreements we reviewed all (285 .po files in total) translated gnome packages and removed a mountain of inconsistencies, which have lingered around since the beginning of translation effort around the year 2000.
• In a similar way we have reviewed important non-gnome packages in uubuntu. As a result Ubuntu 10.10 is by far the most terminologically consistent release so far.
• Updated and improved translations were (sometimes with a lot of effort) sent back to upstream (translation project, pulseaudio, debian). This means translations will be available to other distributions and operating systems as well.
• To improve translation quality we have split into translation and reviewer group.
• We have rearranged our wiki page and moved it to lugos (Linux User Groups Of Slovenia) website.
• We wrote the guides for poedit and lokalize.
• Established our own chatroom.
• We started writing this blog :)
• We have been actively searching for new translators. Number of moderately active translators  (karma above 500) has increased from 6 (August 2010) to 17 (December 2010). 
• Total karma has jumped from 30 000 (August 2010) to 48 500 (December 2010).
• This enabled us to translate a lot of new packages and increase translation level of default GUI in  Ubuntu from 84 % in 10.04 to 99 % v 10.10. This just placed us withing top 10 languages worldwide  (Slovenian is 178. language in the world by the number of native speakers).
• Translated some 30 smaller programs in launchpad, such as ubuntu tweak, awn, supertuxkart chromium browser, etc.
• Translated GCompris, an educational suite for kids (including with more than 100 sound instructions). 
• Started regular montly meetings in the chatroom (online) 
• Started drinking tasty cool translators beer monthly :) (if my phone's flash wouldn't be horrible, I could show you a nice photo here :( )
• With Firefox plugin EH-Tip created a tool, which enables us easy integration of or word list into launchpad. Several other teams have expressed interest to implement it into their workflow too.
• Had an awesome time doing it :)
• KDE translation team has also been active and in 2010 managed to maintain the translations and add about 7000 newly translated string.
• Growth in 2010 for Slovenian Gnome and KDE translation proejct is shown on the graph below  (y axies is the number of total translated strings - application and documentation):

However we still left some nice challanges for 2011 :). So if you want to help us out and make 2011 equally or even more awesome than 2010 head on our blog and read all the details about joining (contact page).

Happy and successful 2011 to everyone!
