For illustration, now there is under the fedora project in Transifex.net currently 'cs' team created, so 'cs_CZ' needs to be created and outsourced access to it for the 'cs' team. Consequently, 'cs_CZ' will stay "empty", and the 'cs' team's members will become its members. If my understanding of outsourced access is correct. Josef Hruska

Re: L10N migration to transifex.net

This decision has greatly saddened and disappointed me. With all respect to Dmitris and his team, to me, it seems like Fedora is giving up a key part of our infrastructure and our independence. Therefore, I have obtained permission from my manager to put time and resources into packaging Transifex 1.1 for fedoraproject.org. I have also had the time and skills of two Red Hat sysadmins allocated to get Fedora's own instance of Transifex upgraded and migrated ASAP. I believe that if the Fedora Localization Project is open to the idea, we could have an up-to-date and fully functional local instance of Transifex 1.1 available within a week. Does this seem acceptable? I also want to take this opportunity to thank Dmitris for his extremely generous offer to host this massive project on behalf of Fedora. However, apart from the reasons I gave earlier, I also can't help but feel that this direction would be grossly unfair on Dmitris and his business. Indifex is, after all, a commercial venture, and server resources and bandwidth aren't free of charge -- especially on the scale contemplated for Fedora. Just before I came to work for Red Hat, I owned a small IT business myself, and know that every penny counts! :) Cheers Rudi

Translators and contributors from around the world are invited to test and post results for their languages. Fell free to edit the wiki with your results and join us in #fedora-test-day if you have any doubts.

Self-Introduction: Martin Minar (Czech)

When I was a lot younger, I worked as translator for Czech Television and for some computer literature related publishers. I also wrote one book. It has been some time now and I'm missing those days a bit, so I decided I need to train my brain cells again. You and the Fedora Project: I'm using Fedora for... well I begun with Linux a long time ago on Red Hat 5.1 - it was like 199X. Since in Red Hat I work with Satellite/Spacewalk Project, I would like to start with translation of Spacewalk. Didn't look beyond that.

[Fwd: ACTION REQUIRED: Important hanges to Fedora translation workflow]

by Noriko Mizumoto

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: ACTION REQUIRED: Important hanges to Fedora translation workflow Date: Thu, 3 Mar 2011 10:46:28 -0500 From: Jared K. Smith <jsmith(a)fedoraproject.org> Reply-To: devel(a)lists.fedoraproject.org To: devel-announce <devel-announce(a)lists.fedoraproject.org> Quick Summary --- The Fedora translation workflow has changed. If you are a developer of a package being translated by the Fedora Translation (L10n) Project, you must change your workflow slightly if you want translated strings to appear in your software package. Tools and assistance are available to make this workflow as simple as possible for developers. Read below for details. Details --- Over the past couple of weeks, we've made some improvements and infrastructure changes to the Fedora translation system. We've moved from a self-hosted version 0.7 instance of the Transifex software to a hosted version of the 1.1-dev version at Transifex.net. The upgrade from version 0.7 to version 1.0 (and beyond) introduces a number of important changes for developers and packagers. Please pay close attention to this email, particularly if your software package uses translations provided by the Fedora Translation team. While the changes aren't terribly complicated, they do have a bigger impact on the developer than they do on the translation team. The most visible change is that Transifex’s native integration with source code management systems has been replaced by a mechanism for automatic updates. Transifex now watches an HTTP view of a repository for change notifications. In addition, there is now a more secure command-line tool for project maintainers and translators. This new command-line tool has been packaged for Fedora in the "transifex-client" package. It is currently available in Rawhide (pre-F16), and in the "updates-testing" repositories for Fedora 13, 14, and 15, and EPEL 5 and 6. Here's the new workflow: This series of steps only needs to be run once for a project. * The developer installs the "transifex-client" package: yum --enablerepo=updates-testing install transifex-client * The developer runs the "tx init" command in the top level folder of the project. * The developer runs the "tx set" command according to the transifex-client user guide found at: http://help.transifex.net/user-guide/client/client-0.4.html. This creates a small config file, .tx/config, which can be committed in the repository for re-use, if desired. This series of steps are run on as as-needed basis: * The developer updates and commits his or her POT file to the project's repository at string-freeze time or as needed. * Transifex watches an HTTP link to that POT file and auto-updates its English strings regularly, *OR* the developer can also push the POT file to Transifex (either manually or as part of a build script) by using the "tx push" command. * Translators work inside Transifex. Translated strings are stored inside of Transifex, and are *not* pushed automatically to the developer's repo. * Before rolling a release, the developer runs 'tx pull' (either manually or from a build script) to fetch the latest translation files from Transifex. Translation files do not need to live in the repo, although the developer may commit and store copies if desired. For more details on the features of the new version of Transifex and more help on using the transifex client, please refer to either http://help.transifex.net/user-guide/one-dot-zero.html or the Fedora-specific wiki page at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FAQ_on_migration_to_transifex.net. If you have technical questions, feel free to ask questions in the #fedora-l10n or #transifex IRC channels or on the devel mailing list. -- Jared Smith Fedora Project Leader _______________________________________________ devel-announce mailing list devel-announce(a)lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel-announce

Problem with uploading updated (and/or new) pos to Fedora subprojects in transifex.net

by josefhruska＠upcmail.cz

Hello Adam, There are difficulties with uploading po files to Fedora projects in transifex.net. I am experiencing the same problem like here [1]. It seems that there is a mismatch within Transifex concerning languages teams variants (e.g. 'cs' vs. 'cs_CZ'). So I had to use 'cs' language to upload a fully new Czech translation of Fedora docs project website/Labels_cs_CZ.po in the upload dialog. However, I am still not able to upload an updated Welcome.po. Could you - or someone with appropriate privileges (that's why I also cc'ing the FLP) to change the team language as suggested in the solution to the problem?

I saw it yesterday after installing F15 Alpha 2. Would you file a bug report? It will affect all potential new users trying Fedora from the LiveCD. Thank you. k.r. Domingo Becker (es)

Transifex "cs" vs. "cs_CZ"

by Adam Pribyl

Sorry if this was asked already, there is so many emails about transifex now, I am not able to read all of them. We have similar problem to that described in http://getsatisfaction.com/indifex/topics/_translate_now_cannot_be_activated While I created Czech team on Transifex as "cs", there are projects that have language as "cs_CZ". Do we have to create two teams? As cs is more or less equal to cs_CZ, I'd love to have the same team for both... is it possible? Adam Pribyl
