by Andrey Panasyuk 12 Nov '10

12 Nov '10

Hi, All! *Name:* Andrey Panasyuk * Location:* Minsk, Belarus * Login:* defascat * Language:* Belorussian * Profession or Student status:* Software Developer * About You:* I'm a software developer in a small outsourcing company in Belarus. Working mostly with Java and Groovy on my daily job. Having about 8 years of experience of working with different programming technologies including Java/JavaFX/.NET/Python, number of databases and other stuff. Was using Fedora as my primary OS for about two years. It's my favourite distro, so I'll be glad to become the part of community at least by providing the translations into my native language. *You and the Fedora Project:* I'm going to provide translations to various tools. Already completed local translation of the system-config-users. Once I get some experience of working as a part of the community - I'll definitely try to participate in some application development. *GPG KEYID and fingerprint: *pub 2048R/4C331DAC 2010-10-25 Key fingerprint = 41F5 DC80 1C8C 8519 328F FE94 4F60 9BD7 4C33 1DAC uid Andrey Panasyuk <defascat(a)tut.by> sub 2048R/AD451CBD 2010-10-25 Thank you, Andrey

The Software Management Guide is not ready for translation yet; in this case, the XML files are authored in Spanish, and we are waiting for a complete English translation so that we can provide PO files for second-generation translations from English to other languages. Let us know, however, if you can translate Spanish to Russian -- maybe we can explore this option. Cheers Rudi

However, this has nothing to do with buggy links -- I think you're referring to a different bug with a different cause and different symptoms.[0] The problem in this case is that publishing from a system when logged in with a locale other than en-US seems to break the navigation menus. Specifically, the labels that say "collapse all", "search", "Map" etc., plus any text with non-Latin characters elsewhere on the page[1] -- and it breaks the menus /in all languages/, not just the language in which you are publishing. Unfortunately, the problem is poorly understood at the moment, because those of us on the Publican team haven't had time to investigate this properly. We don't even know yet which specific set of circumstances creates this problem. Now that Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 is launched, we should have some more time :) If you want to verify the problem on your own system, you could try: * stay logged in with your Spanish locale * check out web.git, as described on the "Publishing" wiki page * create a new, local git branch and change into it: "git branch temp" and "git checkout temp", for example * build and install a book, as described on the "Publishing" wiki page * browse to the public_html/index.html page, and look at the navigation menus in a few languages to see if they look broken. > Any other guide i should read to understand better the publishing > process? The Publican User's Guide[2] explains the mechanism from Publican's side, in particular, Chapter 6. Building a website with Publican.[3] And of course, please feel free to ask questions on the docs list, and also on the Publican list[4].

Re: Dutch translation for the new website navigation

Hi Jef, I'm still translating parts of the website into Dutch and I was not aware of the change you made. Sorry about that. I fixed this in the .po I'm working on at this moment. I hope that you can see the results at the end of the day. Thanks, Geert >Hi, >As some of you know, the main navigation bar on the new website can't hold a >lot of text.

Dutch translation for the new website navigation
by Jef van Schendel 08 Nov '10

08 Nov '10

Hi, As some of you know, the main navigation bar on the new website can't hold a lot of text. If we go over this limit, the last link will not fit anymore and fall off. The Dutch translation also had this problem, so I changed "Functies & scherm afdrukken" to the shorter "Functies & rondleiding". A few days ago, new translations were pushed which reverted this change. Could the Dutch translators also change it to the shorter version so this bug is fixed? Thanks, Jef

Self-Introduction
by Luc de Louw 08 Nov '10

08 Nov '10

Hi there... I'm a Linux guy since 1994. First contact was with SuSE-Linux. Since 2000 Linux is not only my hobby anymore, it is also my profession. In ~2002 I begun to translate KDE and related software to German. Later I unfortunately did not got the anymore to do some more translations. Since ~2008 I'm working mostly with RHEL, CentOS and Fedora. In 2010 @FUDCon2010 in Zurich I made my first personal contacts with the Fedora community and I recognized it is a nice community with VERY nice people. So I decided to help the Fedora Community as good as I can. General experiences on topic - Docbook SGML (I published two TLDP docs) - Thus some Docbook XLM knowledge - GNU Gettext (msg-merge and friends etc) KDE and others - General documentation in technical environments Further Fedora and RHEL related experiances: - RHCE - Directory Services and Authentication Certificate of Expertise EX423 - Basic Knowledge about building RPMs - Quite good with knowledge about about Spacewalk and RHN Satellite * Location Albisrieden, Zurich, Switzerland * Timezone CET/CEST (UTC+1, UTC+2) * Languages - German (Mother tongue) - English (fluent) - French (good, not so fluent anymore) - Spanish (some very basics) I'm unsure what will be the next steps to help you, please advice... Thanks, Luc

I know from time to time we see African languages wanting to get started on your project, this is now an opportunity for these new translators to get some really good training in localisation. Please circulate this widely, blog and tweet about it. The deadline is 12 November for those applying for visas to be able to get them in time. cheers, Dwayne ==================================================================== Deadline: 12 November 2010 Call for Participation: Software localisation training Organisation: African Network for Localisation (ANLoc) Project: Training Email to: training(a)africanlocalisation.net ==================================================================== The African Network for Localisation (ANLoc) - Training sub-project is excited to announce a Call for Participation in one of its upcoming software localisation training events. ANLoc Training sub-project is holding three software localisation training events, each of them will be conducted in a different language: English, French and Arabic. ANLoc is looking for 10 participants for each training and YOU could be one of them. ANLoc's mission is to empower Africans to participate in the digital age by removing the last inch limitations imposed on language usage by the limitation of technology. We are achieving this by creating a network of African languages localisers who through various projects address these needs. This network and the sub-projects developed by its members are focused on empowering African languages practitioners to be skilled in these areas, forgoing short-term advances to ensure that African expertise is created for future localisation development. ANLoc is funded by the International Development Research Centre (IDRC) ------------------------------------------------- Context of the project ------------------------------------------------- The Training sub-project addresses the need for local localisation skills. We are addressing that by running training courses for local African language practitioners in the complete software translation process. By the end of each training, participants will be able to localise existing Free Open Source applications into their own local languages. ------------------------------------------------- Dates and locations ------------------------------------------------- 1. The ENGLISH training will be hosted by Kasahorow in Ghana, from 30 Nov to 3 Dec 2010 2. The FRENCH training will be hosted by the Malian Association of Linux Users (AMUL) in Mali, from 6 to 9 Dec 2010 3.
