Hi, I looked into some Hindi files, had few comments - I think it would have been nice if we had known what you'll were doing in advance, since it would have helped in completing translations for upcoming release ( 2.22 ). - while more contributions & new translators are always welcome, its good to drop a mail to an existing team, that they are taking up some modules for translation/completion. - possibly give the reference POT or orinigal PO files also, which were used for these translations, so we can figure out the differences or what new stuff is added and need to be reviewed. - advanced intimation would help in future work, since we recently had one Hindi review workshop ( 7,8th March ) in Delhi and would have been nice to have your translators also to be part of it, so we could have assessed the work better.
For Hindi atleast I would request the translators who did this work to come forward ( so people know them for their efforts ), they join indlinux-hindi list ( https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/indlinux-hindi ). Lastly while getting translations to a complete status is important but not the only thing, in the long run maintaining them along with feedback from users is what matters more, building a community around it is more important than just trying to have isolated work pushed upstream. (PS: I am yet to see a post on indlinux-group list abt your work or assuming that you have tried to contact others in the list of names below) Regards, Karunakar On Mon, 10 Mar 2008 10:36:21 +0000 Simos Xenitellis wrote: > nirupama rout wrote: > > Hi there > > > > Check This link > > > > http://downloads.bosslinux.in/Translated_Po_files/ > > > > where I have uploaded some language translated po files.Need to > > know the feedback and let me know if i can proceed. > > > Thanks for the e-mail.
