hanniehi CarstenG16:35
hannieCan I ask you 2 questions?16:35
CarstenGHi Hannie16:55
CarstenGYes, sure.16:55
hannieHey, ok, here is question one16:55
hannieI have a screenshot conflict with figures:16:55
hannie3.33 and 3.3416:56
CarstenGwhere are you?16:57
hannie3.33 was a marginschreenshot, but the accompanying text is now mixed with the one from 3.3416:57
CarstenGprecise-e2?16:57
hannieyes, precise-e216:57
hannieI have temporarily changed marginscreenshot to screenshot16:58
hannieThis works, but the picture is no longer in the margin, of course16:58
hannieI think this happened after I made 3.34 smaller16:58
CarstenGone moment, I generate the pdf...16:58
hannieI hope you see it too, I still have to upload my latest nl.po16:59
CarstenGYes, I see it.17:01
hannieany suggestions how to fix this, except making it a screenshot?17:02
CarstenGIt looks like the position of 3.34 is moved upwards in the document...17:02
CarstenGin the en version it looks better.17:03
CarstenGdo you have the screenshot command at the right place?17:03
hannieYes, I tried to move the whole string up, but that was a disaster17:03
hannieAnswer to your question: it is the same stringnumber as the English one17:04
hannieI translate the msgid in the same msgstr17:04
hannieYou do not need to come with a solution right now. I will send you an email.17:06
hannieQuestion nr 2: I get an error now when I generate the pdf. This is due to the title page not found. But I wonder if that is the only error.17:07
CarstenGNo, if the right title page is not found, the english one is used instead.17:08
CarstenGso there is probably another error.17:08
hannieIt always says 1 error, but there can be more17:09
hannieI just do not see an error in figures 3.33 and 3.3417:10
hannieWhat I'll do is this: I will send my latest nl.po to LP. You can see I changed marginscreenshot for 3.33 to screenshot17:12
hannieIt is not a very elegant solution, so if you have a better one, please let me know.17:12
CarstenGwell, you can use the optional argument "baselineskip" for the screenshot command, e.g17:14
CarstenGnscreenshot[-5\\baselineskip]{03-U1-naut-sync-icons.png}17:14
CarstenG\\marginscreenshot[-5\\baselineskip]{03-U1-naut-sync-icons.png}17:15
hannieright, I will try that and let you know if it works. Thanks again17:15
CarstenGyou can play with the value, positive or negative17:15
hanniefun17:15
CarstenGBut you should use this only for the final touch.17:15
hanniethat sounds reasonable17:16
hannieWe, Rob and I, have just finished the reviewing.17:16
hannieSo, I really hope we can publish soon. I will contact Kevin about a few minor issues17:16
hanniesee you17:17
YoBoYhi22:28
YoBoYwhat is the font used for the ccbysa ? it always throw me an error when I try to compile the quantal manual :]22:30
YoBoYgodbyk, btw, for the index bug, it seems it's the "Hyperref options for print/screen versions" block who breaks it in quantal22:40
godbykHey, YoBoY.22:41
godbykYoBoY: If you run the pkgs/install-pkgs.sh script from the raring branch, it will download and install the CC Icons font for you.22:41
godbykYoBoY: Which index bug?22:41
YoBoYno index page links22:43
godbykYoBoY: Ah,  that's not a bug per se.22:44
godbykYoBoY: The hyperref package (which provides the links) and the xindy program (which handles the indexing), aren't completely compatible.22:44
YoBoYand the install-pkgs.sh is not donwloading anything :]22:44
godbykNamely, xindy doesn't know how to handle hyperref links in the index.22:44
godbykSo to get them to work together, I had to disable the links in the index.22:44
godbykYoBoY: Are you running the install-pkgs.sh script from the raring branch?22:45
YoBoYho, ok, I understand22:45
godbykThe quantal and precise-e2 versions haven't been updated yet.22:45
YoBoYno, quantal22:45
YoBoYI haven't started to work on the raring branch yet22:46
godbykGive me a moment and I'll update the quantal script.22:46
YoBoYno rush22:46
YoBoYIt's late here, I have to go to bed ;)22:46
godbykOkay, the quantal script should be updated now.22:48
YoBoYbtw I worked a bit more to understand how all the spaces are working. My conclusion is Launchap is annoying with latex. It converts the [nbsp] in real nobreakspace (" " << this one) and that's the problem with polyglossia who think it's a normal caracter and add another nobreakspace :]22:50
godbykYeah.22:51
YoBoYI don't know how launchpad work with translations but can't it convert the [nbsp] in ~ ?22:51
godbykThe non-breaking space is equivalent to ~.22:51
godbykAnd you can have multiple ~~~ strung together.22:51
godbykI don't know. Launchpad does all of that automatically.22:51
YoBoYpolyglossia works fine with a ~22:52
godbykI don't think I have any control over it.22:52
godbyk(I didn't even know about the [nbsp] and [nnbsp] tricks until you guys told me about it.)22:52
YoBoY:)22:52
YoBoYfor application translations it's usefull, and this way we can't forget them22:53
godbykYeah.22:53
godbykFor LaTeX, I think the opposite is better: just forget them and let LaTeX handle it. :-)22:53
YoBoYwho can tell is a " " is a " " or a " " :D22:53
godbykExactly!22:54
YoBoYyes, we can think like that, "don't put them" but it's so hard to teach the translation rules to new translators, having different rules for different projects can be difficult. And the manual is a good start point for new translators22:55
godbykThat's understandable.22:56
YoBoYI'll try to find someone from LP22:56
godbykBut it seems like the manual has a lot of different things to learn anyway (i.e., LaTeX syntax) that wouldn't apply to translating application strings.22:56
YoBoYyes :)22:56
godbykSo from my perspective, it's just one more small rule to learn. :)22:57
YoBoYwe can also create a script to run before the make to convert everything :p22:57
godbykYes. if necessary, we can run a script that removes all the various spaces around punctuation marks before compiling the French translation.22:58
YoBoYtodo for me : ask launchpad what it's possible to do with these [nbsp] :)22:59
YoBoYI'll do that tomorrow22:59
godbykCool. Let me know what you find out.23:00
YoBoYyes sure :)23:01
YoBoYthanks for your answers23:01
YoBoYbye :)23:02
godbykG'night!23:05
