WaterSevenUbmdke, hi... what was the issue of including Portuguese startpage in firefox? apparently when I point to /usr/share/ubuntu-artwork/home/locales/index-pt.html everything appears great.12:46
WaterSevenUbalthough, when I start firefox I am pointed to index-pt_BR.html.12:47
mdkeWaterSevenUb: is there a pt translation of firefox itself?12:47
mdke(no)12:48
mdkethat's the problem.12:48
mdkewe can't make it appear unless firefox itself has a translation12:48
WaterSevenUbok:-) I thought it was related to the rendering of the text itself, not the URL.12:49
WaterSevenUbmdke, you've mentioned the xpi, ... I know the upstream team will be releasing this month (probably) firefox translated. How late in the cycle do you think the translation can reach ubuntu and still be used?12:50
mdkeWaterSevenUb: no idea, you need to ask pitti, or diziet12:51
WaterSevenUbok, thanks.12:51
mdkenp12:52
WaterSevenUbhhmm... the startpage doesn't have the LTS thing, probably not relevant enough to annoy translators again...12:53
mdkeoh bollocks12:53
WaterSevenUbwell... it can be added by hand in all of them:)12:54
mdkeyeah, I'll do it that way12:54
mdkethanks for pointing it out12:54
mdkehopefully the Chinese isn't too difficult12:54

kgoetzMadpilot: i'm not realy up for ubuntu docteam work.... your all a bit fast for me09:20
Madpilotkgoetz, ask on the docteam mailing list - or hang out and see if Matt East can help you here (mdke) - he does a lot of our building/packaging/etc09:21
kgoetzMadpilot: thanks for the sugestion.09:22

aleph0 in http://ftp.ubuntulinux.org/ubuntu/dists/breezy/main/installer-amd64/current/doc/manual/en/apcs04.html it says "tar -xf" when it should say "ar -xf"11:34
aleph0actually there is more wrong in that file.11:35

mdkebut we may sort out a nifty redirect system anyhow11:56
LaserJockk, just wondering11:56
mdkeLaserJock: any ideas for what to say about lulu? How about "You can buy a printed copy of this guide at <X>"11:57
mdkemaybe something about it being non-profit11:57
mdkenot sure11:57
LaserJockyeah, "You can buy a printed copy of this guide <x> for a minimal charge as You will only pay for the price of printing and shipping."11:58
mdkebit long. Strip out "for a minimal charge" and replace it with a full stop, or brackets?11:59
LaserJockyeah, it was a little awkward12:00
mdke"You can buy a printed copy of the guide at <x>. You will only pay for the price of printing and shipping/postage"12:00
mdkehmm12:01
mdke"printed copy" doesn't get across the fact that it is bound12:01
