[00:03] <Muscovy> Interesting idea.
[00:51] <Muscovy> Hello MadnessRed.
[00:52] <MadnessRed> hi
[00:54] <MadnessRed> I have started on the dialects, so tutorials only need to be made in the main language, de, en, fr ect and dialects will be applied automatically
[00:54] <MadnessRed> its in the new_lang_test branch
[00:58] <Muscovy> Oh great, I'll check that out.
[01:01] <UndiFineD> MadnessRed: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWelcomeCentre
[01:01] <UndiFineD> you missed it
[01:01] <MadnessRed> need to work on the regex a bit more as it needs to pay more attention to the context, I am still worried about the html being translated, and I don't like using @ as the character to stop it being translated, I a character that would otherwise never be used.
[01:01] <UndiFineD> this is actual work from 2006 :P
[01:02] <MadnessRed> I think I have seen that before actually, but ages ago
[01:03] <UndiFineD> we could also choose to do use the .po files and merge translations into the package ourselves, ensuring html is not translated
[01:04] <UndiFineD> just make sure, that .po files are not packaged
[01:05] <MadnessRed> .po files?
[01:05] <UndiFineD> translation files
[01:05] <Muscovy> Do you think we could stop newlines from being tuned into <br />s?
[01:05] <Muscovy> I'm having to clean up a lot of formatting because of that.
[01:05] <UndiFineD> Muscovy: sed
[01:06] <UndiFineD> s/"<br />"/"\n"/
[01:06] <Muscovy> What would that do?
[01:06] <UndiFineD> replace such strings
[01:06] <Muscovy> Replace them?
[01:07] <Muscovy> Ah.
[01:07] <MadnessRed> Muscovy, newlines are only changed to <br /> in files the script thinks are plain text
[01:07] <UndiFineD> switch "<br />" for "\n"
[01:07] <MadnessRed> so if you simply add .html to the end of the tour file it won't do it
[01:07] <Muscovy> Is html plain text in this context?
[01:08] <MadnessRed> no, the idea was the files called something like 1_intro would be plain text files, which would have some simple tags added in and line breaks done autmatically
[01:08] <MadnessRed> whereas 1_intro.html would be a html file, and would be parsed as is, without any changes
[01:09] <MadnessRed> so basically, if you don't want line breaks adding, just rename the file and add .html on the end
[01:09] <Muscovy> Ah.
[01:09] <Muscovy> I din't know about that.
[01:09] <Muscovy> Well, problem solved. :D
[01:12] <MadnessRed> klkl
[01:15] <MadnessRed> do you have anything that needs doing on the programming side?
[01:16] <Muscovy> Hmm.
[01:16] <MadnessRed> other than the language
[01:16] <Muscovy> Not sure if I've mentioned it before, but I have an idea for making derivatives easier to translate.
[01:17] <Muscovy> Basically making a list of words like color/colour, and tell the page to replace these accordingly.
[01:17] <Muscovy> Whenever I look through en_GB, for example, it's 1-2 months out of date.
[01:18] <Muscovy> Despite the fact that 5 words on 15 pages (or something like that) are the only differences.
[01:18] <Muscovy> By only differences I mean if they were both up to date.
[01:19] <MadnessRed> yh
[01:19] <MadnessRed> if you look at new_langage_test
[01:19] <MadnessRed> that is what I have been doing there
[01:20] <MadnessRed> so in the folder dialogues, there is a file en_US which provides translations from english to american english
[01:21] <Muscovy> Where is the branch? I can't find it.
[01:21] <MadnessRed> 1 sec
[01:21] <MadnessRed> lp:~ubuntu-tour/+junk/new-lang-system
[01:22] <Muscovy> Thanks.
[01:25] <MadnessRed> np
[01:27] <Muscovy> I'm not sure if we can fix it, but is there a way to make webkit anti-alias images better?

[01:28] <Muscovy> The screenshot looks way better if you scale it to the same size in Gimp.
[02:00] <MadnessRed> I think they will need scaling in gimp first, I don't think the image renderer can be changed
[02:03] <Muscovy> Best way I could think of was have a thubnail tag for screenshot.
