To me is probably best, ill add it to the git repository and to the pootle installation. I hope to have it all up and running very shortly. Just sorting out the last of the infrastructure. Once its running, you can download and upload the .po files directly to/from it.

Hi to all, a staigire in my firm, Federica Benetello, has done a 90% transaltion of librarian interface into italian. She has done it with Poedit and I have the .po file. Do I need to send the file to Chris Cormack or to mailing-list koha-translate(a)lists.koha.org ? About the translation of 3.0.1: For us 15 days are too little. We probably need 30 day, in fact until 15/12/2008 starting the work on 15/11/2008.

Timeline for 3.0.1
by Henri-Damien LAURENT 28 Oct '08

28 Oct '08

Hi, As Release Maintainer, I have been given gitosis access to rel3.0 So I shall be able to catchup with all the bug fixes patches. What I am aiming at now is issuing a bug fix release on First week of December. That means, branching 3.0.1 on the 15th November, so that translators could have a two weeks time for translations. Tell me if this sounds reasonable and ok for you (translators). You will also need to have the fresher templates. Maybe the Translation manager could have the process update automatically translations and allow ppl for multiple version access ? See you soon. -- Henri-Damien LAURENT

In turn, interested parties can prepare additional English localizations, including en_NZ, en_GB, en_AU, en_US_public, en_US_academic, etc. If there are any serious objections to this, speak now. Therefore, I propose to accept Owen's patch. For the convenience of the translators, I can also prepare a patch to update the existing PO files.

Re: [Koha-translate] greek translation is not working
by Chris Cormack 22 Aug '08

Hi Pablo Yes, I have installed a test pootle http://pootle.workbuffer.org/es/opac/es-ES-i-opac-t-prog-v-3000000.po?trans… It might be a bit slow as its on my server at home. But if people like it, I can get it hosted somewhere with more bandwidth :) One of the things I like with pootle is the ability for people to upload .po files, and merge them with whats there, which means if people want to use an offline tool, they can download the .po, use any of the really nice desktop translating tools and then upload it back. What I also plan to do, is script it so that each night new templates are generated from the .po files. Apart from rosetta and pootle, ... is there any other translation software you like?

Call for Translation Manager
by Joshua Ferraro 12 Aug '08

12 Aug '08

Hi folks, Well, 3.0-stable is finally out, and includes over 31 translations, and that's really amazing ... thanks so much for all your hard work these past months! I'm writing this email to let you all know that I'm stepping down as the unofficial Translation Manager for future versions of Koha. For 3.0, I was serving as the Release Manager, de-facto QA Manager and the de-facto Translation Manager, and needless to say, that's too much for one person to bear -- I need a break. Many of you had excellent ideas for how to improve the translation framework in Koha to ease the process of translation, and improve the quality of the translations. I wish we'd had time to implement those ideas for 3.0, and I'm hoping we'll have a chance to do so for future versions of Koha. So ... I'm requesting candidates for the (hopefully) official position of Translation Manager. Here's a rough outline of the responsibilities: * Maintain a mechanism for non-technical translation teams to contribute translations to the Koha project (similar to the kartouche tool I've maintained at http://translate.koha.org, though as many of you have pointed out, better tools exist. * Keep all the translation .po files up to date from release to release, including translations submitted via the project-wide translation tool, and translations submitted by others * Coordinate with the RM to set 'string freezes' and communicate to the translation community about such dates * Coordinate with the RM to prepare and install translations of Koha An ideal candidate would have the technical skills necessary to to set up (host), maintain, and customize whatever project-wide translation tool we pick to replace Kartouche; and would be able to improve the existing tools within Koha for creating .po files, as well as make suggestions for how to improve transaltion of areas not currently covered by that tool (MARC Frameworks for instance). Such a candidate should also be able to manage the process of pushing translations upstream to the RM using Git, and providing the RM with access to patches that can't be transmitted easily via email due to length or encoding. As as side note, LibLime will continue to host the Kartouche installation at http://translate.koha.org until another tool is available, and we're happy to coordinate changing the DNS when such a tool is available. Any takers? -- Joshua Ferraro SUPPORT FOR OPEN-SOURCE SOFTWARE CEO migration, training, maintenance, support LibLime Featuring Koha Open-Source ILS jmf(a)liblime.com |Full Demos at http://liblime.com/koha |1(888)KohaILS

Re: [Koha-devel] Announcing Koha 3.0 (RC1)
by Nicole Engard 26 Jun '08

As you may have heard, we have been working on a manual for the new version of Koha. In the true spirit of open source, we are providing you access to this document as we work on editing it. We hope that this document will help you as you prepare for the newest release of Koha. As you skim the documentation you will find some documents with missing information or notes for editors (usually denoted in blue), as we get closer to completing this guide, you will see fewer and fewer of these. You will also notice that some documents on the Table of Contents are not linked, this is because we have yet to start working on these documents. Lastly, we have added some notations to keep track of documents that have been edited. You will see characters like asterisks (*) and exclamation points (!) in front of links on the Table of Contents, these are so that we can keep track of where we are and have nothing to do with the contents of the document. You can access this document here;:http://sites.google.com/a/liblime.com/koha-manual/Home . If you have any questions or comments feel free to send them to Nicole Engard at nce(a)liblime.com. I am on vacation right now and have a lot of editing to do based on the hundreds of emails I have waiting - but wanted to get this out to you all now. My hope is that we can put this up on the Plone documentation site that will allow for easy translations and tracking of changes. For now it's on the LibLime domain while we wait for that new site to be put up. -- Nicole C.

Standardised US English Translation
by russ＠russandsarah.gen.nz 07 May '08

07 May '08

Hi All, After a big fuss, I have gone a bit quiet. Working on Koha is not my day job anymore. Anyway, forgive the cross list posting, but my last email got forwarded to all the lists and I guess this topic is of interest to the devel list as well. I am happy to help out with standardising the language used in the default Koha install to that of the dictionary everyone agreed on. It would be easiest for me to do this using Kartouche at translate.koha.org, because then I can see how many strings still need to be translated and I can do it from anywhere. Any progress with getting a language code setup? Is Joshua the only person that can do this? Cheers, Russel

Doubt about a phrase

Hi to all, I have a doubt about this phrase of Koha staff: #: ../../koha-tmpl/intranet-tmpl/prog/en/modules/help/acqui/basket.tmpl:6 msgid "view suggestions placed by Patrons and add to the item to the basket." msgstr "" If I have undostood well, the correct phrase is : "view suggestion(s) placed by Patrons and add item(s) to the basket" The france traslation is : "voir les suggestions émises par des adhérents et ajouter le document au " "panier" What is you opinion on the phrase ?
