IlyaHaykinson_OK... nifty. Andchat is nice.06:56
wolterHi people07:07
wolterWho uses rhythmbox here?07:07
DdordaI saw in a blog that there supposed to be 2500 screenshots to do, but for now I saw only 50. when will we have more?09:57
godbyk-androidDdorda:  50 per language x 50 languages09:58
Ddordagodbyk-android: oh! I see :D09:58
godbyk-androidA lot leas work that way! :-)09:58
Ddordagodbyk-android: well, we're about to finish the hebrew screenshoting, and than will hope to finish translating as soon as possible09:58
godbyk-androidDdorda:  excellent! Let me know if you have any questions or problems.09:59
Ddordagodbyk-android: for now we have no problems, you made it quite simple10:00
Ddordagodbyk-android: but - must say the translations could be even more simple IMHO10:00
godbyk-androidHow can we make the translations easier for you?10:01
Ddordagodbyk-android: for everyone :P just making the string to have text only, and not latex context10:01
godbykDdorda: I don't know how we could know where to reapply the latex formatting after we get the translated string back.10:03
godbykfor instance, if you translate a sentence: "Ubuntu is \emph{awesome}!", how do we know which if the words in your translation should have \emph applied?10:04
Ddordagodbyk: you've got a point10:04
Ddordaokay okay, Im stepping back :P10:05
godbykIf you have any ideas on that, I'm happy to explore them.  We're trying to make everything as easy as possible (but no easier! ;-)).10:05
godbykThere are some latex bits that end up in the translations that don't need to be there.  (commands like \frontcover).  I'm working on finding a way to hide those.10:06
godbykour translation tool is a bit quirky and I haven't figured out how to get it to ignore everything yet.10:06
godbykAnd with that, I'm off to bed!10:08
godbykSee ya later, Ddorda.10:08
Ddordagodbyk: gnight10:09
DdordaI can translate the "do not translate" strings in with the original text? (so Ill know how many left)10:22
DdordaI see in other languages that this exactly what they did.10:54
Ddordaanother question: is there RTL support in this Manual? (for languages like Hebrew, Arabic & Persian)10:55
thorwilDdorda: yes, there's at least supposed to be RTL support, but i have no clue regarding the specifics11:21

dakerseems that everybody is sleeping right now17:00
ubuntujenkinshello daker17:01

Ddordadutchie: ^17:07

daker:p17:34
godbykdaker: I'm here. What's up?17:36
godbykI'll have to leave soon, though.17:37
godbykI tried Latin yesterday and quickshot crashed on me with that 'unknown locale' error.17:38
dakergodbyk, about the download url style17:40
godbykah, I should do a short write-up on that to get my thoughts in order.17:40
godbykI'll do that later this evening when I get home and email it to you.17:41
dakergodbyk, oki17:41
godbykDdorda: There will be RTL support. I haven't fixed the layout to handle RTL yet, but it'll be there in the end.17:50
godbykDdorda: As for the 'do not translate' strings, as long as your translation exactly matches the original (untranslated) string, it should be fine.17:51
Ddordagodbyk: okay. great :D18:09
Ddordawho confirmed my PO?18:09
godbykI'm afraid I don't know what that means.18:10
godbyk(I'm not well-versed on the entire translation process.)18:10
ubuntujenkinsRed_HamsterX and titeuf_87 any reason not to update the release ppa?18:10
Red_HamsterXNone that I know of.18:11
titeuf_87ubuntujenkins, I wouldn't know why not.18:11
godbykubuntujenkins: you'll find out after you get a ton of bug reports upon release. ;-)18:11
Red_HamsterXWe fixed a few issues identified by g-odby-k (who I shall not highlight unnecessarily).18:11
Red_HamsterX(Without noticing he was already active)18:11
ubuntujenkinsI don't think there would be i will update it now with the fixes18:11
DdordaI see in the manual "stands for" or "once stood for", what does it mean?20:22
dutchieDdorda: could you give the context?20:26
Ddordadutchie: The \acronym{GUI} (which stands for Graphical User Interface)20:27
ubuntujenkinshello all20:37
Ddordahey :D20:37
Ddordaubuntujenkins: I see in the manual "stands for" or "once stood for", what does it mean?20:38
dutchieDdorda: it means that the letters "GUI" are a short way of writing "Graphical user interface"20:38
Ddordadutchie: I see. thanks :D20:38
epkugelmassi'd like to restructure what our release/series graph looks like20:42
epkugelmasswe're no longer working on main20:42
epkugelmasswe should be on some kind of 'lucid edition 1' series20:42
ubuntujenkinsepkugelmass, I like your attention to detail but I would leave it to our project leader, he will be around this week. Also i don't think it matters to much as we haven't started on edition 2 yet20:54
ubuntujenkinshello Daker20:54
Dakerback20:55
epkugelmassubuntujenkins, thats fine. i might write benjamin about it20:56
ubuntujenkinscool, epkugelmass20:58
DdordaI should translate things inside \acronym ?20:59
dutchiegodbyk: ^^20:59
godbykDdorda: Yes, if your language uses a different acronym.21:06
Ddordagodbyk: okay, just wanted to be sure before Im ruining something21:07

godbykI'll be offline for a couple hours while I drive home.  I'll be back online again after that.21:07
