Dear all, This short note is just to inform you that the current .pot and .po files from gEDA and gattrib are now available in launchpad's Rosetta translation system, here:
https://translations.launchpad.net/geda/ There is no official adoption of launchpad / rosetta by the gEDA project, so if translators use launchpad / rosetta, please let us know here that changes have been made, and we can be sure to merge back the .po files into our upstream sources. I will try to monitor things and ensure any contributions from 3rd-parties are not lost. When uploading the translations, one thing I had to do to smooth the process was to remove country codes from languages where we listed a "default" country, e.g: de_DE es_ES fr_FR it_IT ja_JA nl_NL I missed af_ZA (as it isn't of the obvious pattern), but am told that just "af" should be used, and that the exceptions are Chinese (zh_CN is Simplified whereas zn_TW is Traditional) and English (U.S. English is the starting language, and en_GB is its translation to U.K. English**). (** Peter notes "you Americans" have stolen "our" language ;)) On advice from the translation team, we should probably make these changes in the repository as well. I presume this gives opportunity for inheritance on systems where a country-code does not match exactly, but we already have a related translation. If we upload files in violation of this, they get put in a queue for administrator fixup, which delays things, so at the very least, when new translations are uploaded, they need renaming first. Bert: Is "hattrib" a typo? #: ../data/geda-gattrib.desktop.in.h:1 msgid "Manipulate component attributes with gattrib" msgstr "Manipuleer componenten attributen met hattrib" I've changed it to "gattrib" in launchpad, and marked the "needs review" flag.
