Hey, I saw the artical on whatsup about the rosetta projects and the comments of people about it. I just wanted to clear up few points.
rosetta is in a testing stage, many of the features people noticed are missing would be adding in the next 2-3 weeks, things as updating the project list to include all packages in ubuntu and adding all the already existing po file from them. Moderation options are going to be added as well to keep high quality/standarized translations. We are going to use rosetta to make an hebrew localized version of ubuntu. We are now testing it to see how well it works with hebrew (we reported some bidi bugs) and on the writing on howto use rosetta which would be on hebuntu's wiki. We didn't decide yet on the guidelines for translation, but it would use free-hebrew, it's already coordinated with the dolfin (the guy who translate gnome to hebrew) and would be translated hopefully with the kde team as well. If they would like to even have one of them moderate the kde package translation when moderation option would be up. didn't get to e-mail them but if one of them reading this now please e-mail me. Another point people talked about was how translation is going to get back to the original project, the answer is simple we are taking care of it, if someone wishes to be responsible for a specific package please email us on [EMAIL PROTECTED] we already got gnome covered. rosetta would also have the option that people working on the ubuntu's development could update their translations almost on the fly from what is on rosetta and therefore things would be easily tested. If you are seeing options which are missing in rosetta you are more than welcome to submit a bug report out of experience they do care and listen to the community. Everyone are ofcourse welcome to start working in rosetta now, but I think that it would be much more productive in 2-3 weeks. People who wish the participate and influance the hebuntu project are welcome to join our mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] but be warned we are still preety much starting:-) P.S If someone can add it as a respond to the whatsup artical I would be gratfull.:-) Ely Levy System group Hebrew University Jerusalem Israel ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
