| andrejz | dpm are you there? | 11:36 |
|---|---|---|
| dpm | hey andrejz, yes :) | 11:36 |
| andrejz | i was wondering what ubuntu translation coordinators team does and if you need any help | 11:37 |
| dpm | andrejz, here you'll find all the info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuTranslationsCoordinators - basically, we do need help in a) triaging translation bugs and b) Managing templates in Launchpad. Do you want to join us? :-) | 11:39 |
| andrejz | Well i am considering it :) I could help out with templates, i guess. what needs to be done? | 11:40 |
| dpm | andrejz, awesome :) right now, not much, as we've just released Natty. But generally the work entails managing them in Launchpad: changing priorities so that they appear upper in the list if necessary, disabling them if they are obsolete, approving them if they have been imported for the first time, etc... | 11:46 |
| andrejz | sounds good. i will apply for a membership and then i can learn how to do it as the cycle passes. | 11:47 |
| andrejz | i was also wondering what is the status of the universe translations? do you think they will be translatable in launchpad or not (so that i know whather i shoudl bug upstream developers or not ) ;) | 11:48 |
| happyaron | andrejz: I think you can also think about reorder some items in the template list, :) | 11:49 |
| andrejz | where is the list and how is it done? | 11:49 |
| dpm | andrejz, sure, we grant membership to active and knowledgeable translators, so you'd be the right match for the role :) | 11:50 |
| dpm | andrejz, once you are part of the team you get the permission to modify templates, and you can change their priority field | 11:50 |
| dpm | you can do this on a template admin page, or on https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/natty/+templates (shows all templates for the distro) | 11:51 |
| andrejz | hm, i don't see "join this team" link here - https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-translations-coordinators | 11:52 |
| andrejz | also i see many kde packages have a priority of 0 | 11:54 |
| andrejz | is this normal? | 11:54 |
| dpm | andrejz, it's probably because the priority hasn't been set (so you've identified an area where we need help ;) | 11:56 |
| andrejz | oh, good ;) | 11:56 |
| dpm | andrejz, it's because the team is restricted (invitation only), but I can add you manually to it. | 11:56 |
| dpm | andrejz, let me ask the other team members and then we can add you | 11:57 |
| andrejz | ok, sure | 11:57 |
| andrejz | dpm, i have another question. is the universe going to be translatable in launchpad in 11.10? | 12:04 |
| === henninge is now known as henninge-lunch | ||
| dpm | sorry for the delay andrejz. We don't have any plan for that next cycle. We discussed that a couple of UDSs ago and while technically possible, it requires changes to universe packages, which are not generally as well maintained as the packages in main. I guess if there is interest for particular packages, and the maintainers are responsive, we could enable them for those selected packages | 12:24 |
| andrejz | well i was especially considering wine, since developers are very hard to get to | 12:27 |
| andrejz | right now i am just writing a mail to polish wine translator if he could commit translations to us, since a couple of developers hasve been compeltely unresponsive | 12:27 |

| dpm | andrejz, thanks a lot for your reply on the serverguide e-mail. As Matthew East opened a separate thread for that, may I ask you to re-send your message, but this time replying to the e-mail with the subject: "Localisation of help.ubuntu.com" and making sure the ubuntu-docs list is on CC? Thanks! | 14:03 |
| andrejz | ok, sure.. i only have daily digest that's why i am late sometimes | 14:03 |
| dpm | andrejz, no worries. I just wanted to make sure that the docs team is aware of the reply | 14:05 |
| andrejz | sent | 14:06 |
| dpm | excellent, thanks :) | 14:06 |
| andrejz | it awaits moderator approval on the -docs since i am not a member, on the other hand it might be a good thing to join ;) | 14:06 |
| dpm | :) | 14:07 |
| dpm | Mirv, you stated your reasons in the past in favour of a localized help.ubuntu.com. Do you think you could repost them on that thread on the translators mailing list ^^ to see if we can finally get some traction on it? | 14:07 |
| andrejz | i think it makes sense. in our case some people wrote some good docs, but then forgot to update it | 14:08 |
| dpm | everyone feel free to chip in to the discussion, and let the translators voice be heard :) | 14:08 |
| andrejz | i subscribed so i will add something more when i see the replies | 14:09 |
| dpm | ok, cool | 14:16 |
| dpm | if any of you guys want to attend - getting started with translating Ubuntu is on right now on #ubuntu-classroom | 15:04 |
| artnay | sure, why not | 15:04 |
| dpm | it's Ubuntu Open Week! :-) | 15:04 |
| artnay | thanks for reminding | 15:04 |
| andrejz | Does anyone know when the first language pack update is going to be released? | 16:11 |
