| jokerdino | if my supposed patch to bug 936403 is accepted, would that break translations for software-center? | 12:05 |
|---|---|---|
| dpm | jokerdino, let me have a look... | 12:35 |
| dpm | jokerdino, yes, it will. The right way to fix it is to additionally modify the English string in all .po files. | 12:37 |
| jokerdino | wow, that must take a while to fix then. | 12:39 |
| dpm | jokerdino, it can be done with a script: e.g., you could iterate through all .po files and execute 'sed' to do the substitutions. Then you could submit a new patch that includes this change in the .po files | 12:46 |

| jokerdino | dpm i edited the hw.py file which autogenerates all the .po files. Not sure manually editing it would help.. | 13:09 |
| dpm | jokerdino, that fixed the original string, but the original string in the PO files should be changed too, so that translations are kept | 13:14 |
| jokerdino | oh i see. | 13:16 |
| jokerdino | will get to it soon. | 13:16 |
| dpm | no worries, thanks :) | 13:17 |

| kelemengabor | dpm: did you see what wrote TLE on the UTC list? he encouraged someone to translate to a dead and therefore unsupported language :\ | 15:58 |
| dpm | hi kelemengabor. Yeah, but if the guy wants to drive the project, I think we should point him to how to do it. There used to be a Latin translation team in gnome a while ago too. We'll see how it goes, and if he gets past the step of creating a team | 17:35 |
| kelemengabor | well, then good luck to him getting past Ulrich Drepper :) | 17:36 |
| kelemengabor | but my opinion is that we should explicitly state somewhere on the wiki that libc won't support dead/fictional languages, and so we won't either | 17:38 |
| dpm | kelemengabor, ah I thought there was an ISO for it | 17:45 |
| dpm | sorry, I meant an iso code | 17:45 |
| dpm | so if there isn't, yeah he will be the contention barrier :) | 17:45 |
| dpm | kelemengabor, I think the idea of the disclaimer is good, would you like to add it to the StartingTeam wiki page? | 17:46 |
| dpm | oh, and good work with bug 875017, btw :) | 17:47 |
| kelemengabor | :) | 17:48 |
| kelemengabor | it was a nasty one, indeed :) | 17:48 |
| kelemengabor | I meant not the iso code as a barrier, but this approach: http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=4086 | 17:49 |
| twobottux` | sourceware.org bug 4086 in localedata "piglatin language is missing in locale" [Enhancement,Resolved: wontfix] | 17:49 |
| kelemengabor | http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=6583 | 17:50 |
| twobottux` | sourceware.org bug 6583 in localedata "Please add a locale for Latin" [Enhancement,Resolved: wontfix] | 17:50 |
| kelemengabor | oh and there is another for exactly latin | 17:50 |
| dpm | ha! the LP bug bot has stopped working, but there is another bot that works with other bug trackers | 17:50 |
| kelemengabor | I think it would be only matter of bringing it back, a clone bot on #ubuntu-hu just said the same about this link :) | 17:52 |
| dpm | so I think adding something along the lines of Ulrich Drepper's answer on the first bug is something we could add to the wiki. But of course, rewording it in a way the person asking does not feel they've comitted capital sin for asking... | 17:55 |
| kelemengabor | dpm: I was thinking about linking these bug reports :) | 17:56 |
| dpm | lol, please don't! :) | 17:56 |
| kelemengabor | :D | 17:56 |
| dpm | we want more contributors, not less :D | 17:57 |
| kelemengabor | okay. now, let me see this starting team wiki page... | 17:57 |
| kelemengabor | dpm: how about this: | 18:06 |
| kelemengabor | * (./) '''Natural language'''. Make sure the language is spoken by real people. There isn't, and there won't be locale support for languages that are spoken by no one at home - so dead languages like Latin or fictional ones like Klingon won't have any support in Ubuntu, sorry. | 18:06 |
| kelemengabor | this will go under the Before you apply section as the second item, if you don't know a better place | 18:08 |
| dpm | kelemengabor, sounds good. I might want to review the text in more detail later on, but at a quick glance it looks good. Feel free to add it and thanks! | 18:10 |
| kelemengabor | changes saved | 18:12 |
| dpm | cool | 18:12 |
| kelemengabor | now it's heart breaking time again :( | 18:13 |
| dpm | kelemengabor, no worries, you took care of it last time, I'll reply this time around | 18:37 |
| kelemengabor | no, I already have the mail half done :) | 18:37 |
| dpm | ok, no problem in leaving it up to you, then :) | 18:39 |
