Quoting Tirumurti Vasudevan (agnih...@gmail.com): (this was a private mail but I think the answer deserves being sent to -i18n as well...and there was nothing private in it, indeed)
Background: there is a spellchecker running on D-I PO files. Its results are shown at http://d-i.debian.org/l10n-spellcheck/. Ideally, languages should have 0 "unknown words" and other errors detected. Practically, only French is in that case..:-) Translators who are subscribed to the "websec" automated notifications get a notification when the number of unknown words changes. > is there anything i can do about the unknown words? You can define exceptions. The script that generates spellchecking stats is l10n-spellcheck. It is kept in D-I SVN as of svn+ssh://svn.debian.org/svn/d-i/trunk/scripts/l10n/l10n-spellcheck It has "configuration" files that are mostly lists of words that are not listed in aspell-<language> word list but the translator knows are valid. There is one list per level of D-I (so that makes 3 lists). For instance, level 1 lists are kept in svn+ssh://svn.debian.org/svn/d-i/trunk/scripts/l10n/l10n-spellcheck/cfg/level1/wls You can have a look at exceptions I manage in the fr.txt file. Of course, the first round is hard because there are *many* "words" that are unknown to spellcheckers and word lists. So you need to go through the detected "errors" and decide, one by one, if this is something that's legitimate....or maybe a typo of yours! It should take a couple of hours (well, a couple that's probably over 2....) Once done, it becomes much easier to maintain. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-i18n-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
