andrejzhello!16:11
andrejzdoes anyone know where to get in touch with checkbox developers?16:12
andrejzmaybe you, kelemengabor?16:12
kelemengaborandrejz: no other idea than the bugtracker / #ubuntu-devel channel16:14
andrejzstrings are very translator unfriendly16:14
andrejzand i wanted to ask them if they can do something about it16:14
andrejzfor example one needs to translate words like PURPOSE and VERIFICATION tens of times16:15

ubot4Launchpad bug 916096 in checkbox "Checkbox requires a lot of translator work (affects: 1) (heat: 6)" [Undecided,New]16:36
andrejzkelemengabor, do you believe my concerns are valid?16:36
kelemengaborandrejz: sure, I saw those strings and they look pretty redundant to me16:38
andrejzi subbed ubuntu translations16:39
kelemengaborbut on the other hand, this would need a lot of rewrite on the programmers side16:39
kelemengaborwhich 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 one16:41
kelemengaborso until they switch to an xml-based test description format, I think this is not going to be solved16:42
kelemengaborrfc822deb is a simple file format, and this seems to be the most that we can get out of it...16:43
kelemengaboralso, 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
andrejzi talked with the developer on IRC16:46
andrejzand 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+116:47
kelemengaborthis is a lot more than I dared to hope :)16:48
