Hi Misha
Good Work.
Note "ta_IN" I think it stands for Tamil-India. I think we need to
properly map it and work on it. Just my views
Thanks and regards
Richard Vijay

Hi!
The docs translation period starts in two months, it would be nice for the l10n teams
with duplicate language resources on Transifex to have their resources justified.
From what requires action, the duplicate resources named as regional codes (like ru_RU or
es_ES) hold our previous work. While the resources named as language identifiers (like ru
or es) are out of sync or contain empty translations. It means that the project
translators would lose progress if the project maintainers kill the duplicates now. The
progressed modules need to be merged in the right place, where these would be available to
the teams members afterwards. This is to be done by the l10n coordinators.
There's also a deadline to be set so we don't make the cleanup an endless
process. August 15th, 2011, seems to be enough, in case someone's on vacation.
That's 2 weeks before the docs translation period starts and about 1.5 month from now.
Then we may ask the project maintainers to run a script to remove all those language
resources.
If the Transifex stats [2] don't lie, the following teams are to be REMOVED:
as_IN
bg_BG
bn_IN
bs_BA
ca_ES
cz_CZ
da_DK
de_DE
el_GR
fa_IR
fi_FI
fr_FR
gu_IN
he_IL
hi_IN
hr_HR
hu_HU
id_ID
is_IS
it_IT
jp_JP
kn_IN
ko_KR
lt_LT
lv_LV
ml_IN
ms_MY
nb_NO
nl_NL
or_IN
pa_IN
pl_PL
ru_RU
sr_RS
sr_RS@latin
sk_SK
sv_SE
ta_IN
te_IN
uk_UA
vi_VN
The following team is to be LEFT INTACT:
zh_CN (as opposed to zh_TW and zh_HK)
The merging task can be accomplished by using the Transifex-client tool available in
Fedora repository. You will need the language remapping capability introduced in version
0.5.2, which is currently in the testing repo. To use now, run:
su -c "yum install transifex-client --enablerepo=*testing"
or update using the testing repo:
su -c "yum update transifex-client --enablerepo=*testing"
Please give the package transifex-client-0.5.2-1.fc15.noarch [1] good karma so it would
land in the stable repo soon.
The procedure has been summarized before [3], there's also a complete manual to the
tool [4]. It took me less time because I only downloaded one language I wanted. For
instance, to update the Virtualization Guide I did:
1. configure the tool to use the chosen resource:
a. create a folder, say, "transifex" in the home dir and cd into it
b. [misha@pc transifex] $ tx init
c. [misha@pc transifex] $ tx set --auto-remote
https://www.transifex.net/projects/p/fedora-virtualization-guide/
2. pull the "ru_RU" translation modules:
a. [misha@pc transifex] $ tx pull -l ru_RU
3. use language remapping to push the modules as "ru":
a. remap the language by adding the line "lang_map = ru:ru_RU" to the main
section of ~/transifex/.tx/config [5]
b. [misha@pc transifex] $ tx push --translations -l ru
4. delete the local files
You may be able to do the whole docs collection at once using
$ tx set --auto-remote
https://www.transifex.net/projects/p/fedora/r/fedora-15-docs/
as soon as the corresponding ticket [6] is closed.
