Hello, I'd like to remind developers about the UI freeze, which is string freeze at the same time. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FreezeExceptionProcess
I'm generally more interested in getting stuff done that following processes that tightly, but for Ubuntu localization to succeed (one thing in the core of Ubuntu philosophy) at the very least notifications about changed/new strings are needed to be sent to ubuntu-translators mailing list. Two most recent ones of which there is no notification, are: - network-manager-applet 0.6.6-0ubuntu1 (https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/hardy-changes/2008-March/008549.html): 3 new strings - language-selector 0.3.0 (https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/hardy-changes/2008-March/008533.html): 2 new strings ...and those are just quick examples from ca. today. There are more. It's not a problem for me to open the list of 1500 translation templates, sort it by the import date and look through recent changes that have introduced new strings in important packages, but it's not what every translation team / member knows how to do or that it should be done in the first place. There are going to be changes to important packages also in the coming weeks, I'm almost certain - Firefox is currently totally untranslated, and the ubufox extension definitely needs translations finally now that an LTS release is being done. Reminder2: please take care that all the stuff you hack on that needs to be translatable, is translatable and that the i18n also works in practice. You may check if your package (in main) is translatable for the Ubuntu translators at https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/hardy/+source/yourpackage - you should also double-check that all the needed strings are generated to the pot file in your source package, ie. all code / glade files are included in the POTFILES and proper i18n initialization is done. -Timo / Ubuntu Finnish translators -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
