[10:11] <trijntje> the new strings for the documentation have landed, but they are not shown on the template list
[10:11] <trijntje> 'upstream' docs on launchpad: https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu-docs/quantal
[10:11] <trijntje> the 'ubuntu-help' template on the template list:https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/quantal/+source/ubuntu-docs/+pots/ubuntu-help
[16:06] <dpm> kelemengabor, trijntje, head_victim (or any other translator). Are you around to give a hand with a user interface freeze exception? It should not take more than a few minutes
[16:06] <kelemengabor> yeah, sure
[16:07] <trijntje> yep
[16:08] <dpm> cool, thanks. So here's the deal: you've probably heard about the discussion about online search results, and we're now creating a settings dialog to optionally disable it to address community concerns
[16:08] <dpm> That is done as part of a user interface freeze exception on this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/quantal/+source/activity-log-manager/+bug/1054746
[16:09] <dpm> I myself gave it a +1, as I think if this should be blocked, it should not be because of translations
[16:09] <dpm> (3 new strings are added)
[16:10] <dpm> jbicha from the docs team gave it a -1, but he's just mentioned that he'll change his vote if 2 non-Canonical translators give it a +1. I would just like to ask you to have a look at the bug and give it a +1 if you honestly think that this should be accepted from the translations side
[16:11] <dpm> I'm not trying to coerce anyone into voting, so if you don't believe this should be accepted, it is not a problem
[16:11] <dpm> Obviously, I'd like it to be accepted, which is why I'm asking, but I'd like a sincere vote
[16:11] <trijntje> I'm reading the bug now
[16:12] <dpm> great, thanks
[16:13] <trijntje> dpm: will it add a single string or multiple?
[16:14] <trijntje> nevermind, I see it already
[16:14] <dpm> trijntje, it will add 3 new strings, the ones listed on the bug description:
[16:14] <dpm> #: ../src/activity-log-manager.vala:57
[16:14] <dpm> msgid "Search Results"
[16:14] <dpm> msgstr ""
[16:14] <dpm> #: ../src/searchresults-widget.vala:60
[16:14] <dpm> #, c-format
[16:14] <dpm> msgid "When searching in the Dash:"
[16:14] <dpm> msgstr ""
[16:14] <dpm> #: ../src/searchresults-widget.vala:67
[16:14] <dpm> #, c-format
[16:14] <dpm> msgid "Include commercial suggestions from Ubuntu partners."
[16:14] <dpm> msgstr ""
[16:18] <trijntje> I will add a +1 from a translation perspective, also because I think the privacy concerns are valid
[16:19] <trijntje> but this cycle has been realy bad for docs team with all UIFE, and it's really a motivation killer if your work becomes irrelevant just like that
[16:20] <dpm> I know, I do feel their pain. The work has not become irrelevant, though, as the changes were mostly about new things, but it did really add a lot of work to their plate :(
[16:20] <dpm> trijntje, would you mind adding the +1 to the bug report as a comment, so that we follow the UIFe process? -> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/quantal/+source/activity-log-manager/+bug/1054746
[16:24] <kelemengabor> fine by me. it's not that hard to translate these <15 words, and avoiding disastrously bad press is more important.
[16:29] <dpm> thanks kelemengabor, may I also ask you to add the comment on the bug, so that the UIFe can go ahead? (at least from translators and documenters, the release team has got the final say)
[16:30] <trijntje> dpm: I've added a comment to the bug
[16:31] <dpm> trijntje, many thanks for the honest feedback on the comment too, and for unblocking the Desktop team on the UIFe!
[16:32] <trijntje> dpm: you're welcome. Are the problems with all these UIFE on the radar of the community team? I'm really worried a lot of people will lose their motivation this way
[16:35] <dpm> trijntje, they are, but often they are outside of our control unfortunately. In terms of community contribution, they fall on our domain, but in terms of enforcing the policy, it falls into the domain of the release team. And believe me, they are well aware of them, as freeze exceptions generate more work not only for contributors in the different areas of Ubuntu, but also for them!
[16:41] <trijntje> dpm: that good to know. I'll just have a little faith and hope things work out for everybody.
[16:45] <kelemengabor> gave a +1 too. It's the minimum to give people an easy way to opt out of ads :)
[17:08] <dpm> thanks everyone
