2/2 from i18n. The terminology that is currently used in GNOME Shell is very
confusing and is not consistent with what is used in GNOME Help. Getting
this change in now will give translators enough time to update the changed
strings.

Re: String freeze break request for gnome-initial-setup

Kalev Lember kalevlem...@gmail.com, Tue, 18 Mar 2014 23:07:34 +0100:

 Hi,
 
 I would like to land gnome-initial-setup's wip/timezone branch before
 the .92 release. This unfortunately adds a new translatable string:
 
 _(We think that your time zone is %s. Press Next to continue
or search for a city to manually set the time zone.)
 
 I know it's coming late, but it would be great to have this in the final
 release.

Hi Kalev,

Is this a nice to have feature, or, rather, an important fix? This
late in the cycle, translators tend to only approve fixes that are deemed
critical or very important.

Cheers,

  Oh my, it's this time of the year again ...
 
  When the new status menu work landed, the Notification switch that
  used to be in the user menu was removed, although according to the
  mockups[0] it should be included in the message tray menu - I'd like
  to land this[1] now for 3.10.1.
 
  At this point in time, this constitutes both a UI and string freeze
  break, though it restores functionality that has been around for quite
  some time (3.4?) and was only removed late this cycle, so I suspect
  that there are translations/documentation that can be resurrected.
 
 
 It's a bit too late, but since we already accepted bigger changes, I
 give 1/2 from i18n. Please note that this the last time I'm going to
 approve a break in this cycle.

2/2 for i18n. 

Florian, please try to push the change ASAP so that translators have
enough time to get their translations updated for the point release.

  I think this change is a string freeze break.
 
  This message is in a removal confirmation dialog which is not used very

  Well, it is a sting freeze break, because the other string has an

  Ah that's true, apologies for that and thanks for the heads-up. I've
  reverted the change on gnome-3-8.
 
  I would like to request a freeze break so we can keep the fix for 3.10.
  The issue is that the scores dialog in Mahjongg displays separate scores

 This change improves installing of printers shared on samba servers. It
 shows authenticated servers in the list of available devices and allows
 user to authenticate against them. The printers available on such
 servers are added to the list after authentication.
 I tried to do it as minimal as possible.
 
 This is an UI change and string change.
 
 The change was accepted by designers.

Also CC'ing the docs team on this one. It might actually need

Re: UI and String Freeze Break Requests: GNOME Music AppData and Notifications

[Petr Kovar]

Piotr Drąg piotrd...@gmail.com, Tue, 3 Sep 2013 17:41:49 +0200:

 2013/9/3 Arnel A. Borja kyous...@yahoo.com:
  We would like to request a UI and String Freeze Break for GNOME Music.
 
  The string freeze break is for the addition of translatable description
  using the new AppData specification, and translatable strings for
  notifications.
 
  The following are the strings to be added:
 
  Notifications:
  - by %s, from %s (by Artist, from Album)
  - Unknown Album
  - Not playing
  - Previous
  - Pause
  - Play
  - Next
 
  AppData:
  - Play and organize your music collection
  - Music is the new GNOME music playing application.
 
 
 Isn't this a bit too short? I remember Richard asking for a few
 paragraphs, but that's up to you. It's less work for me as it is, so I
 won't complain. :)
 
 Also, are you sure you want the appdata.xml file in git? Looks like a
 generated file to me.
 
 Anyway, notifications are an important feature and it's early in the
 freeze, so here is 1/2 approval from i18n.

2/2 for i18n.

 The bug is about teaching GOA to deal with mail servers using STARTTLS. I did
 not have access to such a setup before and hence could not test it before the
 freeze. However such servers are quite common and we need to support them in
 3.8.
 
 They add the following 2 strings:
  - TLS not available
  - Server does not support STARTTLS

We are early in the string freeze, so 1/2 from the GNOME i18n team.
