Re: Translating recipes

[Andika Triwidada]

I think it will be quite useful to create a 'cooking glossary'. It may
contain ingredient names, photos, etc. Then every recipes should refer
to that glossary.
Or is it already included in GNOME Recipes?

[DL] String additions to 'gnome-builder.master'

[GNOME Status Pages]

This is an automatic notification from status generation scripts on:
https://l10n.gnome.org.

There have been following string additions to module 'gnome-builder.master':

+ "%s %s %s"
+ "Failed to get device information: %s"
+ "My Computer (%s) — %s"

Note that this doesn't directly indicate a string freeze break, but it
might be worth investigating.

Let me try to explain the situation better, and outline what options we
have to deal with it:

GNOME recipes is about sharing recipes, and we want to avoid the English
language requirement being a hurdle to contribution.
So, we expect that going forward, we will get recipe contributions in
languages other than English, and we want to start accepting
them. In fact, during the week here in Jogjakarta, Elvin reached out to
local cooking students and managed to collect more than
20 Indonesian recipes!h

There are a few options we have for dealing with this content:

1) We can introduce the concept of 'recipe packs', eg an 'Indonesian
recipes' pack that could be installed separately. This would
come with the understanding that recipes in that pack will only be
available in the local language. In this case, there is less of a
need to translate the recipes. But it would still be nice to have a native
speaker do some quality control on the content, ie check
punctuation, spelling, etc.

2) We can just add these recipes to our main pool of recipes as-is. Again,
we probably want quality control, even if we don't
require translation. In this case, we probably want to tag recipes with
their language, and add some language filtering capabilities
in the applications, so users can control the languages they see. This may
ultimatively take the form of a desktop-wide 'content
language' setting (acutally, it may have to be a preference-ordered list).

3) We can ask you to translate the recipes to English first and only add
the English translation to the main pool of recipes (with
the understanding that it would then be translated to other languages like
other recipes in the pool). This may be a bit problematic,
since translating recipes is hard, and we've just shifted that burden from
the contributors to the translators. And translating a
recipe twice sounds like a recipe (!) for information loss.

4) Some combination above.

Hope this clarifies

I’ll remember that.

> It would be best if you could revert all these commits.

Well… that’s doable of course. But with the current state of things,
it’s easy to use the `grep` tool to find some translations bugs like
quoting mark errors in translations (\n instead of „/“/”/«/»/etc., or
the opposite), where it was completely impossible with the previous
noise, and the same with the spacing/non-spacing/other before “bit”
(and other use cases). Of course, if some specific projects prefer,
I’ll revert my change on their po file, but I really don’t think it’s
a good idea to remove as a whole. Not even counting all the lost
fixes.

It would be best if you could revert all these commits.

Hi everybody, sorry for the delayed reply. I don’t check these lists
daily, and my filters has also hidden the direct mail, sorry Piotr
Drąg. :·(

Yes. I’m sorry. I’m a perfectionist, and directly working on things
helps me seen how the “dconf-editor product” finishes in people hands,
for improving it. In all my po files edits, I’ve spotted tenths of
typos in various languages, one bug in the generation of eight strings
(translated by translators, but not applied to the application; I’m
currently working on a fix for before the last unstable release), and
one case where I should improve code for helping i18n.

Hope that hasn’t caused too much “harm” for teams, but that has been
really helpful from a releaser/maintainer point of view. I’ve notably
realized how many strings are translated and how useful/not-so-useful
ones are mixed, and will probably ask for a split of the “demo” string
in a following cycle, so translators of small teams could concentrate
on the application general UI. And globally, I’m more aware now of
some problems of my code, and that’ll help in the future.

Well, if some translators want to improved my code in revenge, I’d
honestly thank them to do so. ^^ But I understood, that’s not
something I’ll redo, I just needed to have a view of what was
happening between code and users, and that has been enlightening. I’ve
finished, apart for the big bug I’m working on, but that’s for a

There’s been even more changes since this email. To be honest, this is
completely unacceptable and needs to stop ASAP.
