Hi

I have seen that a couple of languages have already been completed 100%!! Great work, thank you so much! For whom don't know much about tqsg just in case, this is "Translation Quick Start Guide" which describes how to start translation work, very handy for new comer. We are going to translate this guide into as many languages as possible to lower the bar.

Here is the current stat.

[noriko@noriko translation-quick-start-guide]$ make postat de: 212/10/25/ el: 103/30/114/ es: 80/35/132/ fr: 62/42/143/ hu: 247/ id: 101/3/143/ it: 195/19/33/ ja: 203/14/30/ ms: 26/21/200/ nl: 247/ pa: 185/26/36/ pl: 247/ pt: 167/41/39/ pt_BR: 243/4/ ru: 59/44/144/ sr: 195/19/33/ sv: 80/35/132/ zh_CN: 195/19/33/

Now I am going to be complete off for three weeks starting next week. So I wish if someone can keep the ball rolling...we are almost there. Someone can keep watch the stat for a while, and when most languages updated, he/she can just ask Paul or anyone in Docs team to publish the translated version? Of ocurse he/she will get the bonus to shout "We are final! Spread the word!".

Thanks noriko

Hi,

I accidentally ran "make pot po", then committed the changes for the documentation-guide. I misunderstood something, as this should have been done for the translation-quick-start-guide.

Sorry for any problems this caused :(

Regards,

Murray.

In my opinion, having a non translated TQSG is not a big problem. Lower the bar is a good thing, but if someone wants to translate for Fedora, it seems to me he/she must understand english as good as possible.

There are some occasions where teams use an intermediate language for translations. This happens in some occasions in Europe and India, where some folks translate to the target language from the French/Hindi of a resource.

Understanding the QTSG is a good test.

I think the biggest problem for newcomers comes from the technical operation needed to set up and use a translation environment. Transiflex has helped a lot already, since translators no more need to know how to use CVS. But getting an SSH key for example is not very easy for a new user who's not familiar with command line, file permission...

Unfortunately for us, translators are required to sign the CLA (ie. have and use a GPG key) to contribute translations, since their contributions end up in the shipped ISO, etc. With Transifex in place though, I'm not sure they are should be required to have an SSH though.

To sum up, I'm ok to translate it, but there are other priorities (at least for the french team), like having a 100% translated Fedora distro.

The document might become more useful if it wasn't a "quick" guide, but it explained better how the project works, how teams collaborate, some explanations on Transifex (mini-manual) etc.
