Help with collecting keyboard data

2013-01-04 Thread Allan Day
Hi everyone,

GNOME uses a database that maps keyboard layouts to countries and
languages. This is used to try and guess which layouts will be
interesting to users depending on their country and language.

Unfortunately, this database has a lot of gaps. To try and fix this,
we are trying to collect information about which keyboard layouts
people use, so we have a more complete database. This will hopefully
let us make better guesses about keyboard layouts.

It would be great if translation contributors could help us out with
this. It's very simple: just check out the instructions on the
keyboard data wiki page [1] and fill in the table with any information
you might have about which layouts are used.

This wiki page is still quite new, so just let me know if you have any
problems or are unsure about anything.

Thanks in advance for you help!

Allan Day

We know, and Dušan Kazik did commit to Git. See

Dear Allan,

OLPC (and Sugar Labs) get into the keyboard creation business with
some regularity.  I see a few "olpc" keyboards on your list, but for a
more complete listing see:

http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Category:Keyboard_layouts

There may be some layouts for languages you don't have already (albeit
for OLPC keyboard configs).

You are only looking for XKB layouts?

With the touchscreen version of the XO laptop (XO-4) due to be
announced any day now (at CES, I think) there is a lot of effort going
into Maliit on-screen keyboard layouts

http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/User:Garycmartin/Maliit_Layouts

With two million XO laptops out there, and given that the OLPC OS is
running the Sugar UI on a GNOME/Fedora stack and offering a GNOME
desktop as a dual-boot option, you'll have to make your own calls
about how important they are to include, but you might want to touch
base with the OLPC devs via

http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel

if there are any questions, if only because by the nature of the OLPC
/ Sugar Labs mission, we deal with some "exotic" language options and
collaborate with a lot of language communities just starting to "plant
their flag" on Linux (e.g. new locales, etc.).

Warmest Regards,

cjl

A bit in different direction ...

Is there a way to see the GNOME static and dynamic web pages? In Slovenian
this stays untranslated, because nobody can make head or tails of it!
Seeing what should be translated is a key for making it good!

M!

AFAIK, except for looking the module's source code, you can only see
how the module's translations looks like by doing a local compilation
of the source code of the module provided by the GIT repository. I
don't know exactly it works to try the dynamic and static web site,
but I suppose you would need to prepare a web server, maybe in a
virtual machine.

e.g. for module 'gnome-user-docs', I build and then run 'yelp .page'.

Rafael,

:) this is a good one. This might be left untranslated for a long, long
time, unless some less complicated solution is found.
Thanks for the answer.

M!
