[20:02] <salmaan1> I can not add translations on launchpad. What should I do ? every translation page tells me that " No translation group has been assigned. This translation is not open for changes."
[20:03] <TheLordOfTime> contact the project's or projects' maintainer(s)
[20:03] <TheLordOfTime> not all projects accept translations.
[20:03] <TheLordOfTime> s/translations/open-submission translations/
[20:04] <TheLordOfTime> not sure if there's any other restrictions or not, but i'm aware not all projects have open translations
[20:04] <salmaan1> thanks TheLordOfTime
[20:05] <TheLordOfTime> if its Ubuntu or for an Ubuntu package, i think there's a group you can contact but i don't remember offhand,.
[20:08] <JanC> Ubuntu packages are translated by the translation team for that language
[20:09] <TheLordOfTime> THAT'S what it was
[20:09] <JanC> usually named something like ubuntu-l10n-CC
[20:09] <TheLordOfTime> i forgot that, thanks JanC :)
[20:09] <JanC> eh
[20:09] <JanC> not CC (country code) but a language code
[20:12] <salmaan1> Thanks. But it is not an Ubuntu package. it is Scilab. the translation policy is set to structured, with no team assigned for Persian language. despite these condition i cannot translate.
[20:15] <TheLordOfTime> salmaan1, yeah you'll have to contact that project's maintainer/maintaner team.
[20:15] <JanC> I think "structured" means you can only translate as member of a team
[20:15] <TheLordOfTime> or whomever the contact is for that project.
[20:15] <TheLordOfTime> JanC, i think so too, i can check
[20:16] <salmaan1> here's the link: https://translations.launchpad.net/scilab/trunk/+pots/shell/fa/+translate
[20:17] <TheLordOfTime> "If your project's translation group has assigned an individual or team to a particular language, only that person or members of that team can review/accept translation strings for that language.
[20:17] <TheLordOfTime> "
[20:17] <TheLordOfTime> there may be other information outside of the stuff i just said
[20:17] <TheLordOfTime> but... :P
[20:17] <salmaan1> As I posted in my first message, launchpad says " No translation group has been assigned. "
[20:18] <salmaan1> I mean when I read the mentioned link, it tells me that "no translation group has been assigned"
[20:19] <salmaan1> I mean that, is the combination of this phrase "No translation group has been assigned." plus "This translation is not open for changes." possible?
[20:20] <JanC> hm, you seem to be a member of https://launchpad.net/~scilab-ir ?
[20:20] <salmaan1> yeah, I am the OWNER of that :)
[20:21] <TheLordOfTime> the maintainer of the project needs to set that team or its parent team as the translation team
[20:21] <TheLordOfTime> otherwise i think it won't work.
[20:21] <TheLordOfTime> so you have t o contact the maintainer of the project.
[20:22] <JanC> TheLordOfTime: it seems like the other member of that team did some translations already?
[20:22] <salmaan1> But a friend of mine, who is also a member that group, can easily submit translations.
[20:22] <salmaan1> yeah
[20:22] <JanC> salmaan1 I mean
[20:22] <TheLordOfTime> JanC, not sure then, perhaps permissions got fudged then
[20:23] <TheLordOfTime> ... stupid php5, stop FTBFS!
[20:23]  * TheLordOfTime diverts attention
[20:23] <JanC> salmaan1: is he a member of the ubuntu persian translation team?
[20:24] <salmaan1> no, my friend is a member of no team, except which are created by me.
[20:24] <JanC> hm, no idea then  ☺
[20:24] <TheLordOfTime> if only an LPAdmin were around :P
[20:24] <TheLordOfTime> they'd be able to see if they broke something
[20:25] <salmaan1> If they broke something, wouldn't it be broken for all ?
[20:25] <TheLordOfTime> potentially
[20:25] <TheLordOfTime> but you never know :P
[20:26]  * TheLordOfTime needs to divert attention to the broken builder on his build system.
[20:26] <salmaan1> Is it appropriate to submit a bug about this matter?
[20:30] <salmaan1> after all, thank you guys.
[20:32] <JanC> maybe ask a question on https://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad first?  (if it really is a bug, they/you can convert it to one from there)
