Dear Muhammad, I had earlier sent you an email at your listed address. Please get in touch with me if you are still acting as coordinator. I see several translated GNOME files for Ubuntu, but none under http://l10n.gnome.org/languages/ur We have translated the GNOME and Open Office glossaries into Urdu. We also now have a team of people starting on Urdu localisation of GNOME, and would like not to duplicate work. The task is being taken up at Jamia Milia in New Delhi, and we have the potential to have this become an ongoing activity there. Likewise, we have been trying to contact other folk, and I would encourage anyone interested to get in touch.

Using my GNOME svn account
Hi, I am the GNOME localisation coordinator for Oriya, but have not been doing any commits since pre-SVN days, as the work was being handled by someone working for Redhat India. I would like to now use my SVN account for updating some of the Oriya stuff, as well as for doing some initial submissions for Kashmiri (I am working with the coordinator, Rakesh Pandit), and also Urdu (after getting permission from the current coordinator.

Non-community-based approaches to localisation
Hi, The GNOME localisation community in India is faced with a very peculiar situation, and it would be good to arrive at a consensus on how to deal with this. The BossLinux (http://bosslinux.in/) folk based at CDAC-Chennai have gone ahead, and translated large parts of GNOME (I believe version 2.18) into 18 Indian languages. These are available at http://downloads.bosslinux.in/Translated_Po_files/ I applaud the scale of this effort, but unfortunately there are some serious drawbacks here that make it difficult, if not impossible for this work to be integrated into GNOME: 1. I know of no attempt to contact existing language teams prior to starting on this work. This is true at least of Bengali, Hindi, Malayalam, and Oriya. Worse yet, the language team line in the .po file header has been changed to some CDAC address, which can only lead to myriad problems down the road. 2. As CDAC made no attempt to talk to people about consistency, the translation terms used are out of sync with accepted ones that were used earlier. At least for Hindi, and now increasingly for other language, the terms that the FOSS community uses are reviewed by outsiders. 3. The translation quality is low, at least in the Oriya .po files that I saw. For example, "parent" as in "parent process" has been translated into the equivalent of "biological parent". 4. CDAC has offered these files up for the community to submit upstream, but has apparently no intentions of being involved in the process. >From what I can see, and after discussions on #indlinux, here is what I see as a possible approach: (a) For languages that are, say more than 60% complete, I see little benefit in trying to integrate these files, because of points 2, and 3 above. For Oriya, I will ask the Redhat person who now does the bulk of the work to make a judgement call. (b) For languages that have not been started, or are at a very low level, it might make more sense for people to integrate these files. However, even here there are issues, such as unsolved Unicode problems for some languages like Kashmiri. I am not sure how CDAC has done translations in spite of these. I strongly feel that good-quality translations are more important rather than just ticking off a box for having added another language, and would be against the lazy way out of just integrating these files without a review. (c) The list of CDAC language translations with existing teams: Assamese, Bengali, Hindi, Gujarati, Kannada, Kashmiri, Maithili, Malayalam, Marathi, Oriya, Punjabi, Tamil, Telugu, Urdu. There is an incipient team for Sanskrit, and no teams yet for the CDAC translations into Bodo, Konkani, and Manipuri. I suggest that existing teams take a call on trying to integrate these translations, and someone with at least a working knowledge of Bodo, Konkani, and Manipuri step forward to start teams. Would like to hear your views. Regards, Gora ___ gnome-i18n mailing list gnome-i18n@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-i18n
Licenses of .po files, and translations
Hi, I need a clarification on the licensing of .po files. As per my understanding, both the .pot template files, and the .po files for individual languages, assert copyright, and licence restrictions, with the usual licensing terms being the same as for the package itself. Thus, as I see it, for an application licensed under the GPL, the .pot files, and the .po files are also GPL-licensed. Therefore, the following requirements ensue for a GPLed application: (a) A distribution with local-language translations of the application is obliged to provide, upon request, copies of the source .po file for each language. (b) Any modifications to existing .po file translations for any language also automatically fall under the GPL. I would like to hear whether people agree with this.

I will concede your point about government agencies not knowing how (also, at least in India, probably not able) to deal with a FOSS community; with its rambunctious, devil-may-care attitude. However, this is far from being an isolated case, and in my past experience over the past five or so years, it has always been the FOSS community, largely with *unpaid* (and, I do wish to emphasise that fact, given the huge amounts of money that have gone into CDAC work) volunteers that have tried to bend over backwards. > What I see that was missing and still is, is a person to act as > liaison between the open-source localisation communities of India and > C-DAC.

Let me give you an example of such an effort, from *my* personal experience. My native tongue is Oriya, and when CDAC started localising OpenOffice into Oriya, I was pleasantly surprised to have the head of the effort contact me, and was all gung-ho about it. We gave them what we had of the OpenOffice glossary (1/3rd complete, from my personal effort), and asked them to finish the glossary, and talk to us so that we could ensure consistency. No response from CDAC for several months, despite several reminders from my side. Six months or so, later I get a message saying that Oriya localisation of OpenOffice is complete, though now it has been three years and they have apparently not yet deemed it fit to see that OpenOffice packages this. Also, the translations have little relation to our glossary. For OpenOffice, please do not take just my word for it. Please talk to Louis Suarez-Potts, one of the leading lights of OpenOffice. I have little doubt that other community localisers have had similar experiences. > What you have in hand is that there is a big organisation which showed > interest some months ago with l10n, and it might still have interest > in open-source localisation.

Sure, we are willing to meet them three-quarters of the way, and definitely there are encouraging signs from among the younger folk at CDAC.

I was relating my personal experience, and still stand by what I have said many times: CDAC does some very valuable work, but I see little effort to do this in a participatory fashion. One clear example of this is what we have been discussing in this thread: Localisation done for some 18 languages, which were distributed with BossLinux, but not submitted back upstream, and I have yet to hear from any existing language team coordinator that they had been contacted by BossLinux folk. Other people have also pointed out flaws with the process that BossLinux has chosen for localisation.

I did say that we were low on resources, but specifically volunteered to participate myself in the first, important step, the standardisation of the glossary of terms. We also agreed, not only amongst the two of us, but with other people from CDAC, that we would be willing to review translations at an intermediate stage. None of this happened.

Um, I have pointed out the reasons for this in my original mail. Your translations of GNOME, at least as far as Oriya goes, did not follow the standard terminology used by the existing language team, and also sometimes missed the intended context in computer terms. This makes it difficult to suddenly integrate a large chunk of translations. Things would have gone much more smoothly if this integration could have happened a bit at a time, on a longer timescale. > Should a major chunk of contribution go unnoticed just because we did > not satisfy the egos of those in 'power'?

Since the impression at CDAC seems to be that it is doing people a favour by making the translated .po files available, I would like to point out that since Indian-language interfaces are distributed as binaries on the BossLinux CD, and since many of the .po files are covered by the GPL, CDAC is *required* to make such source .po files available upon request. > I now volunteer to be that liaison between open source communities and > CDAC if need be.

[...] Great to hear that, and please believe me, I meant no personal criticism in my original message. Can we now agree to let bygones be bygones and try to move forward? The .po files at http://downloads.bosslinux.in/Translated_Po_files/ seem to have disappeared. Can we get them back? Is it possible for you to devote some resources to submitting files upstream?

Yes, should be possible by adding variants. The larger problem with Kashmiri is that it needs Unicode points for certain vowels that have no equivalent in Arabic. This is something that we learnt from folk at the University of Kashmir, who are working on a font including these changes. A proposal to add these points to the Devanagari script is also apparently under discussion with Unicode, and someone should start one for Arabic.

Yes, the copyright undoubtedly belongs to the translator. The question involves licensing terms. If the .pot file was under the GPL, is the .po file a derivative work, and hence under the GPL, too? A secondary question is, if an existing .po file, which is explicitly licensed under the GPL, is added to by another translator, is the new translation also under the GPL? My opinion would be yes, in both cases, though it is much less clear in the first case. There, since the strings are derived from the source code, and since the .pot file says that the licence is the same as that for the base package, my opinion is that if the application is under the GPL, so is the .pot file. Maybe we should get a legal opinion on this. Regards, Gora ___ gnome-i18n mailing list gnome-i18n@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-i18n

[...] I do not have an installation of gnome 2.16 in order to check this at the moment, and the attached trace is not very useful because of the lack of symbols. I just checked with gnome 2.14, and gcalctool works fine, and shows a properly localised interface under the Oriya locale.

Do other applications work, and show proper Oriya interfaces under the same Oriya locale? ___ gnome-i18n mailing list gnome-i18n@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-i18n
