[04:04] <mpt> LarstiQ, ping
[10:13] <LarstiQ> mpt: pong
[10:46] <LarstiQ> mpt: I'm going for some groceries, will be back within the hour.
[12:31] <mpt_> hi LarstiQ, sorry I wasn't paying attention
[12:31] <mpt_> Could you describe your problem with Ys and Zs?
[12:31] <mpt_> We had a similar report on launchpad-users@ but I can't tell what either of you are talking about :-)
[12:32] <LarstiQ> sorry, mine wasn't real. But I suspect an azerty/qwertyish problem.
[12:34] <LarstiQ> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QWERTZ rather
[12:35] <LarstiQ> mpt_: yet the op is able to type the y in his email, so I'm not sure where his problem is going on
[12:36] <LarstiQ> but it reads to me as if it is during account creation in the xUbuntu install, which makes sense if he is in a german locale
[12:36] <LarstiQ> mpt_: does that help any?
[12:36] <mpt_> so it's not a Launchpad problem at all?
[12:36] <mpt_> oh, I see
[12:37] <mpt_> I guess he has the wrong xubuntu layout then
[12:37] <LarstiQ> that would be my guess.
[12:37] <mpt_> wrong keyboard layout in the xubuntu installer, rather
[12:37] <LarstiQ> mpt_: should I ask for more information, or are you going to?
[12:39] <mpt_> I'll point him to ubuntu.com/support, unless you have a better idea :-)
[12:40] <LarstiQ> as long as you make sure it is actually not a launchpad problem, sure :)
[12:42] <mpt_> done
[01:20] <sivang> re peopple
[02:04] <sivang> hey stub 
[06:59] <AbuMusab> Hello. I have a question regarding the Rosetta system. I was looking into translating some strings in Ekiga for Ubuntu Dapper 6.06. If I make any translations, will they only be available in Ubuntu, or will they be merged into the original software?
[07:04] <sivang> AbuMusab: IIRC, upstream can choose to import those translation and incorporate it into the upstream software, which is waht I think you mean by "original" software?
[07:05] <sivang> AbuMusab: Rosetta tries to make it easy for them to grab translations and use them in the upstream product.
[07:07] <AbuMusab> Yes, that is what I meant. Thank you for your input.
[07:08] <AbuMusab> I just want to know that I am not wasting my time translating for one distribution only.
[07:08] <sivang> AbuMusab: no problem :) if you have any more questions regarding that, please free free to send them to the launchpad-users mailing list , or contact carlos here tomorrow. (he seems to be away now)
[07:08] <AbuMusab> Ok.
[07:09] <sivang> AbuMusab: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/launchpad-users
[07:13] <sivang> AbuMusab: If you like using rosetta for translations, you can try and encourage the upstream translators folks for your language to use it as well, which would reduce their overhead of having to grab stuf from rosetta and import it in the original software.
[07:21] <mdke> any admins around?
[07:21] <sivang> mdke: doesn't seem like it :)
[07:21] <sivang> what's up mdke 
[07:22] <mdke> I wanted to discuss something with an admin
[07:27] <AbuMusab> What exactly is meant by upstream translators? It doesn't really say in the Rosetta FAQ.
[07:28] <sivang> AbuMusab: upstream translators, are the people translating the "original software" , and not in a specific distribution
[07:28] <mdke> AbuMusab: translators of upstream packages, such as Gnome, KDE, openoffice, etc
[07:35] <AbuMusab> Ok. Thanks.
