andrejz | hello! | 16:11 |
andrejz | does anyone know where to get in touch with checkbox developers? | 16:12 |
andrejz | maybe you, kelemengabor? | 16:12 |
kelemengabor | andrejz: no other idea than the bugtracker / #ubuntu-devel channel | 16:14 |
andrejz | strings are very translator unfriendly | 16:14 |
andrejz | and i wanted to ask them if they can do something about it | 16:14 |
andrejz | for example one needs to translate words like PURPOSE and VERIFICATION tens of times | 16:15 |
andrejz | https://bugs.launchpad.net/checkbox/+bug/916096 | 16:36 |
ubot4 | Launchpad bug 916096 in checkbox "Checkbox requires a lot of translator work (affects: 1) (heat: 6)" [Undecided,New] | 16:36 |
andrejz | kelemengabor, do you believe my concerns are valid? | 16:36 |
kelemengabor | andrejz: sure, I saw those strings and they look pretty redundant to me | 16:38 |
andrejz | i subbed ubuntu translations | 16:39 |
kelemengabor | but on the other hand, this would need a lot of rewrite on the programmers side | 16:39 |
kelemengabor | which they did recently, to get us rid of bugs like wrong string extraction and untranslatable test description (i can dig up numbers for you, if you want :) and this is the result, which at least works, compared to the previous one | 16:41 |
kelemengabor | so until they switch to an xml-based test description format, I think this is not going to be solved | 16:42 |
kelemengabor | rfc822deb is a simple file format, and this seems to be the most that we can get out of it... | 16:43 |
kelemengabor | also, I don't want to think what happens if a typo is corrected in those looong strings. So yeah, it would be awesome to make them shorter :) | 16:46 |
andrejz | i talked with the developer on IRC | 16:46 |
andrejz | and this is what i got: I'll raise this with the rest of the team for sure but I can't make any promises for Precise since we're approaching FF quickly. however, there are talks for a major refactoring in P+1 | 16:47 |
kelemengabor | this is a lot more than I dared to hope :) | 16:48 |
