[04:56] <sagaci> where that wiki page for getting the latest translation pack
[09:28] <dpm> morning all
[16:11] <andrejz> hello!
[16:12] <andrejz> does anyone know where to get in touch with checkbox developers?
[16:12] <andrejz> maybe you, kelemengabor?
[16:14] <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
[16:15] <andrejz> for example one needs to translate words like PURPOSE and VERIFICATION tens of times
[16:36] <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?
[16:38] <kelemengabor> andrejz: sure, I saw those strings and they look pretty redundant to me
[16:39] <andrejz> i subbed ubuntu translations
[16:39] <kelemengabor> but on the other hand, this would need a lot of rewrite on the programmers side
[16:41] <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
[16:42] <kelemengabor> so until they switch to an xml-based test description format, I think this is not going to be solved
[16:43] <kelemengabor> rfc822deb is a simple file format, and this seems to be the most that we can get out of it...
[16:46] <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
[16:47] <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
[16:48] <kelemengabor> this is a lot more than I dared to hope :)
