[Gimp-developer] Translating The GIMP
Hi, I plan to merge translations from the stable gimp branch (gimp-1-2) to the HEAD branch very soon now and hereby ask all translators to assure that the translations in the stable branch are up-to-date. If you have committed changes to the HEAD branch, please make sure the stable branch contains your fixes, otherwise your changes will get lost. The po files in GIMP HEAD will be converted to UTF-8 since GTK+-2.0 requires strings to be UTF-8 encoded. I will check in some simple tools that allow you to convert between native encodings and UTF-8 since only few editors out there support UTF-8 directly. For now you don't have to worry about this and I will post some detailed explanations after I have completed the changes in the HEAD branch. For now, all you have to care about are the po-files in the gimp-1-2 branch.

I noticed that somebody else than me has commited Dutch translations to HEAD. I tried to contact that translator once, but got nowhere. I will try again (also contacting the person who actually commited the new strings, as that was a third person), but ask in the meanwhile that the stable translation will not be merged with those changes without contacting me first, as I do not want to start juggling three different translations (the one in HEAD, the one in 1.2.2 and the one on my hard drive). whoever committed to HEAD made a mistake and it is my intention to not merge the translations but simply take the ones from gimp-1-2 into HEAD thereby overwriting any changes that have been applied to HEAD but not to the stable branch. For this reason I've asked the translators to update their translations in the stable branch now. All I want to achieve at the moment is to get a set of working translations for the 1.3.0 developers release. Those translation need not to be complete and there will be plenty of time to update the translations when we approach the stable 1.4.0 release. For the HEAD branch, we should try to find a responsible translation maintainer for each language. The language maintainer should have CVS commit access and is responsible for coordinating his/her team of translators.

Can I coordinate the English language? :-) Actually I should proofread the texts... Sometime you should pull English-to-English po files out of the source for me and I can proofread it. Of course committing my fixes would break any other language, so I can ahndle english-to-english po in the long term if preferred. :-) bex ___ Gimp-developer mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
[Gimp-developer] translating The GIMP
Hi, I have been told that I can reach most of the gimp translators on the gnome-i18n list, so I'm sending this email to gnome-i18n and the gimp-developer list. If you reply, please consider not to cross-post unless you think your reply does belong to both lists. I'm one of the maintainers of current gimp development and I do unofficially maintain the translation of The GIMP for the stable branch too. There have lately been some confusions caused by the fact that The GIMP is at the moment developed in two branches and obviously there are translators working on The GIMP that are not subscribed to gimp-developer and do not know about this situation. I hope this mail clears some of this confusion. GIMP development is currently branched. The HEAD branch is undergoing major redesigns and it does not make sense at all to work on the translations in this branch. At the moment we are preparing the 1.2.2 release, a release in the stable gimp-1.2 series. Work on this is done in the gimp-1-2 branch and translators should focus on this branch and this branch only. If people absolutely want to spend time working on HEAD, go ahead, but do expect a lot of changes that may render your work obsolete. Today I found that www.klid.dk/gnome has po and pot files from gimp. People seem to use these files and even check translations based on these files into the stable branch. If the person responsible for www.klid.dk can be reached here, I ask him/here to remove these files. I'd like to use this opportunity to make some additional remarks on translating The GIMP. There is a file called README.i18n in the gimp source tree which explains how to translate The GIMP and names a few points that are special to The GIMP I18N. Every gimp translator should have read it! There's a copy available on the Gimp I18n page at http://sven.gimp.org/1.2/i18n.html From now on I'll post announcements about upcoming gimp releases to the gnome-i18n list too to remind translators to update their po files. Please note that the 1.2.2 release is going to happen very soon now. Salut, Sven ___ Gimp-developer mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
