andrejzGood morning translators !07:59
andrejzIs anyone here, i need someone to confirm a bug for me before i report it07:59
andrejzhello ! Can you check if this bug affects you to and if it does subscribe to it ? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-main-menu/+bug/69404808:57
ubot4`Launchpad bug 694048 in gnome-main-menu (Ubuntu) "Menus are not arranged alphabetical in system menu (localised versions) (affects: 1) (heat: 8)" [Undecided,New]08:57
geirhaandrejz: Looks sorted in norwegian locale11:31
geirhaandrejz: does the sort command sort it right?  printf 'O meni\nVidez\nCompiz\nZasloni\n' | sort11:33
andrejz@geirha: The command you gave me sorts it out12:01
andrejzit seems the order it the same as in english as O meni means Aboud me, Videz means Appearance, Compiz iz Compiz and Zasloni is Display12:03

gtriderxccould anyone tell me what is the address of the page where we put our lang packs to the update lists??13:11
CMooneyHi. What's the policy for translation with words like "Doesn't" should it be "does not"?13:21
danilosgtriderxc, try searching for it on wiki.ubuntu.com/Translations13:22
gtriderxcok13:22
danilosCMooney, ubuntu is made of a bunch of different projects, and I am pretty sure there's no global policy like that13:22
CMooneyUnderstood. Any reccomendations?13:23
CMooneyI'll go with "does not" as I don't think I've ever seen "doesn't" in an error message/string in an application.13:23
gtriderxcit depend13:24
gtriderxcthe recommendtion isn't always the best way to translate13:24
gtriderxcit least in Polish13:24
danilosCMooney, "does not" is almost always a safe option imho, though I am not a native English speaker :)13:25
CMooneyI am a native speaker and I'd only ever use "doesn't" if I was quoting someone's dialogue. Using it in normal prose is frowned upon. .... I think.13:26
gtriderxcif there is enough place I'd make it does not13:34
gtriderxcmy english teachers were always  telling me that don'ts and deosn'ts were informal and shouldn'd be used in formal language13:36
andrejz@gtriderxc: don't know whether you found it, but it's here14:06
andrejzhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/Translations/LanguagePackUpdatesQA14:06
andrejzHowever you have missed the signed off deadline14:06
andrejzso i don't think you will gain aynting by filling it in now14:07
gtriderxcyhanks. and when is the next one??14:07
gtriderxcI'm pretty new here and do not fully understand yet how things works14:08
gtriderxcthere is a mountain of information on ubuntu.com14:08
gtriderxci didn't go through alll of tehm yet14:08
andrejzI am not sure if schedule of language pack updates after the stable release is out is finalised yet or not (this is the first time it's running so it's a bit behind schedule and so)14:18
andrejzbut get on the ubuntu translators mailing list14:18
andrejzand David Planella will write an email about a week or two before the deadline for the next language pack update14:18
andrejzso then you will now when it's the time for review14:19
