Section freedesktop.org (external)
Hello, Can someone please shed some light on why are translations in freedesktop.org (external apps) shown on the gnome website, even thou the files are not hosted on git.gnome? Is there any possibilities to host them on gnome? Sending through TR-Robot is even more time consuming then git ... Thanks, Matej ___ gnome-i18n mailing list gnome-i18n@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-i18n
Re: Section freedesktop.org (external)
Hi Matej! This info is shown in Damned Lies just because it's easier for localizers to track upstream changes. It's here just for the info. As for TP-Robot, yes, I can support the idea that it's not that easy for committer to push the changes in upstream. But that's how upstream wants translators to work. I don't see a way to force freedesktop projects to use gnome infrastructure because Gnome and FreeDesktop stuff are on diffrerent levels in Unix desktop software stack. What you actually recommend is forking which is not what we want. One of the way to simplify the process for committers would be intergrating interaction with TP-Robot in Damned Lies itself. Though I don't think it's a task for the near future since we don't even have git push support for our own repositories.

Should we really translate legal notices?
Hello! I'd like to raise a question which was already discussed in gnome-i18n with no end result [1] in legal-l...@gnome.org hence this email. Recently one of Gnome localizers, Andika Triwidada, asked in gnome-i18n if we should really translate legal notices found in Gnome software translation catalogues. He stated that there is a policy for this in Fedora Project [2] which states that asks translators not to translate legal notices since such translations are risky if not approved by professional lawyers (which is of course not the case for 99% of Gnome translations). Localization participants tried to find any related policy on Gnome Wiki pages with no success. Some translators stated that they translate everything put in translation catalogues, legal notices included. It would be great if Gnome legal experts will discuss this problem in more detail and end up with final policy for translators. Below are some examples of such translation messages. They are quite common in Gnome applications translation catalogues. #: ../src/brasero-app.c:1153 msgid "" "Brasero is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the " "terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software " "Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later " "version." msgstr "" #: ../src/brasero-app.c:1158 msgid "" "Brasero is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ANY " "WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS " "FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

Just a quick update, I looked at merging the branch today and as expected there are a few conflicts/problems. The conflicts should be fairly easy to resolve, but we have some problems such as a lack of keyboard layout chooser in the keyboard panel. For this reason I've suggested to Rodrigo that he do the 2.31.1 release and we merge immediately after. This will give developers a chance to review the changes before a proper release.

FWIW, I still didn't get an answer on what to do for: - external capplets (no way to merge those into control-center, realistically) - external capplets that aren't written in C What do we tell third-party developers? /The man with 5 external capplets and 1 non-C language to look after ___ gnome-i18n mailing list gnome-i18n@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-i18n
Re: Should we really translate legal notices?
I will look into this; thank you for bringing it up.
