[Official announcement] Translate Sailfish OS: elections of community languages & linguists

Finally I can not see catalan in the Sailfish OS localisation. Is any lack of coordinator?

I am icc and I almost made 600 suggestions in the new platform (https://translate.sailfishos.org/ca/), plus others when it was in https://www.transifex.com/kenya888/unofficial-jolla-translations/.

It will so great that Catalan has a coordinator, trying to increase the activity!

Hello @juzzz and Happy New Year! We've now added you as the coordinator, thank you for your copious contributions!

@juzzz, @icc if you need an RPM package to testdrive the translation just let me know with a mention.

@martonmiklos thanks for your offer. Could I learn what is about the RPM package and how it works? Thanks

If you want the keyboard included -and agree with the licenses and stuff- contact Pekka > pekka.vuorela@jolla.com directly.

Keyboard layout requests/submitting is done here: https://together.jolla.com/question/124266/keyboard-contributions-for-inclusion-in-sfos/

@sledges, @ApB, thanks... But adding my Hebrew keyboard probably is not relevant until someone can help me to fix the bug that started from 2.0.1.7 update (maybe one before): https://together.jolla.com/question/129140/question-right-to-left-vkb-have-problem-after-last-system-update-2017/

Since you are willing to have they keyboard included contact Pekka and also tell him about the bug. He can probably help you more than anyone else.

@ApB, thanks... I will try to ask him...

Thank you for your entry.

Hello, I can help with RO translation. There's no coordinator so far, I may try endorsing the role although limited availability.

This has gathered a lot of votes, @rtr2001 would you still be able to coordinate (or anyone else do come forth :)

I am translating in Romanian; who else can help?

Thanks for the translation style guide. I started again with the translation work after a longer break. It seems that last year i could accept suggestions for the project i started work on (jolla-clock) but now i can't anymore. How is the process supposed to work? is it only the coordinator that can accept suggestions and perform reviews?

Nice:) I'd like to be a coordinator of Japanese translation if it is elected:)

@kenya888 that's awesome, you are now the coordinator! Thank you very much for your hard upkeeping of Transifex of all those great languages, now we are all under one Pootle's wing :))

@sledges Yey! Thanks a lot!! I'm happy that my small work for myself finally became the contribution for Sailfish OS community:)

@kenya888@knokmki612@helicalgear@jiminy @palmdra @taike

Hi all! I have just seen that you have completed the translation of the Japanese language. Great work!

If you want I can build an RPM from the sources (even it will not be matching with any of the currently available OS versions) and put it to openrepos. In the past an user called "qtquickme" built RPMs from the transifex project. If it is any of you I would prefer using that package to avoid having multiple language packs on openrepos. I would also like to ask him/her to move it to the translations category and preferably add an icon with the Japanese flag. Thanks!

@martonmiklos

Thank you for your offer!

Maybe @kenya888 knows about administration of "qtquickme" in OpenRepos.

I think it is good idea, but on the other hand I have a question to make this conversation clear. In this offer, which users("qtquickme" or "martonmiklos") will finally publishes the "unofficial-jolla-language-pack-ja" package?

I will help too.

@rmotao, look this! https://together.jolla.com/question/145988/official-announcement-contribute-language-style-guides-not-a-question/?answer=146557#post-id-146557

@marcos-angelo-molizane, would you coordinate the effort please? :)

@sledges Hey, Ho! I will understand with more details how coordinate with excelence! On the other hand, I've done a Portuguese Brazilian Style Guide: https://together.jolla.com/question/145988/official-announcement-contribute-language-style-guides-not-a-question/?answer=146557#post-id-146557 Please, can you change the word "Portugese" to "Portuguese" in the topic? Off-topic: Do you know how can I change my forum username?

I also volunteer to help.

@SailFisherMan, @GustavoMartins, following today's Occitan example, if any of you are volunteering to be the coordinators, I can add Brazilian Portuguese right away ;)

I can do this! Let's start!

@SailFisherMan done! Let the games begin :D

@GustavoMartins and @rmotao, Let's do it https://translate.sailfishos.org/pt_BR/!

Hi @SailFisherMan , @rmotao@GustavoMartins

I have just seen that you are making good progress on pootle. If you think that having an RPM from the translations would make your work easier just let me know and I will build one!

Hi @martonmiklos! If this is possible even the translation isn't in 100%, I think will be very helpfull! Thank you so much!

@SailFisherMan Sure we can build a package from a partial translation too. To properly fill the language conf file I would need some informations: - Could you please let me know what should be shown in the language selector menu? (How do you say "Portuguese" in Portuguese) - How do you say "Brazil" in Portuguese? - How do you say "Region: Brazil" in Portuguese

Thanks in advance!

@martonmiklos, all right! - Brazil = Brasil - Portuguese = Português - Region: Brasil = Região: Brasil

You can name the language as "Português Brasileiro" too.

Thank you so much!!

@SailFisherMan : Here is the package from the latest pootle status (as of yesterday evening): https://openrepos.net/content/martonmiklos/portuguese-brazil-community-translation-jolla

@martonmiklos Geat!! But where's the download link in the OpenRepos page? And the images are from a French translation, I guess... :)

As a native Turkish speaker and Sailor, I would be happy to coordinate incoming Turkish translations =)

I also would like to give a hand to the translation in Turkish language

I can also contribute for the Turkish language.

Asın bayrakları :D

Great! All it takes to simply contribute, just go to pootle and suggest, job done :D Thanks!

Hi, I'm native Turkish speaker and a Sailfish user/fan. I've been involved in many localization work, including KDE, various other applications (last one: Zabbix) and games (last one: Remnants of Naezith). I'd be happy to be a coordinator for Turkish language.

I've started to translate Jolla phone user guide into Turkish in 2013, but I couldn't finish it. Now I'm actively using Sailfish and I can spare some time to localization work of Sailfish itself :)

I am the only one translator for Chinese(Taiwan) in the transifex, but I am happy someone could help me to coordinate this.

Nice to meet you.

I don't know you before in Chinese (Taiwan) FLOSS translation community. Are you in Taiwan? Maybe we can meet each other on FLOSS events such as COSCUP to have some discussions. That will be interesting.

Jolla now opens Pootle translation contributions. If Chinese (Taiwan) is accepted, the coordination job for unofficial translation is not needed in thr future by then. We can work directly on Poolte.

Nice to meet you ,too. I am only working on some projects that nobody cares right now in Taiwan, such as FreeCAD and other apps of Sailfish. Of course, I really hope Chinese(Taiwan) could be the official one on Poolte, then I will move to there.

Hi zerngjia

After 2nd Oct, you have stopped translating. Do you need any help to be a coordinator?

Welcome to help!

It will be good if you can be another coordinator as well to check and approve those suggestion! @sledges could you please help to add hanhsuan as another coordinator for Chinese Taiwan community?

Thanks for that my Baltic fellow :)

I'm also ready to help with Estonian translations. So please add Estonian also, as we already have a translation coordinator candidate.

Hi @krs, could you please email me your pootle username so I can make you the coordinator as soon as Estonian lands in the tool? Cheers!

Estonian language has now been added and is galloping away with suggestions from fellow Estonians.

@krs, I guessed your account username and added you as coordinator who is able to accept/reject suggestions as well as submit directly yourself. Please tell me if that works for you. Cheers!

@krs, I hope you're still around :) yet there hasn't been a single Estonian suggestion reviewed (accepted or rejected) by you, but there are enough sugestions to make this languages at least 90% complete! Alternatively, could we have another coordinator who could do the reviews? Perhaps allan or kaurman usernames on pootle, you did a great deal suggesting, fellows!

would be willing to help here

@ShaneQful, @coley, coordinator role anyone? And I'll then add Irish me hearties :))

@sledges I'll defer to @ShaneQful as he was here first :) or if he doesn't take it up add me.

Can we get Irish added soon please?

@coley, Irish now is all yours, could you tell me your username in Pootle so I could appoint you as coordinator please? :)

Hvala @sponka, you are now the coordinator!

Oops, @sponka you'll need to send me your pootle username (it's not the same as TJC, or you need to login to https://translate.sailfishos.org at least once) Thanks!

Great!

I just logged and linked my TJC account, should be OK now.

It worked, enjoy your coordinator powers @sponka!

@sponka I have seen that you have made progress with the translation. If you need an RPM package to see how it looks on your device just let me know.
