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

Thank you for volunteering @fravaccaro, you are now the coordinator! The dedication of your time is much appreciated.

I second this. Thank for your time.

Well done for impressive observance, but please do not start translating until official announcement, certain inconsistencies have happened ;)

Too late :).

check if your accepted suggestions from last two months haven't gotten lost/reverted by accident

ok [10 chars]

Problem investigated and a way out found: all accepted corrected translations of official languages that have been made by community coordinators (not too many cases) between the end of last l10n round and today can be recovered by finding "User suggestions" with _no user icon_ next to them. E.g. the case of "Person anrufen" string in German. I will mention this in the official announcement tomorrow :) Sorry for the inconvenience this might cause you!

Wow very exotic language! I'm afraid I cannot find it in the Pootle tool, which means you would have to provide us with its POSIX locale abbreviation and a how many plurals it has (and their formula). If you need more explanation from us on that, just ask :)

Number of plurals : 2

Plural type : One/other (classic plural)

Plural equation : n != 1

Text direction : Right to left

Language code : dv

Not really sure what POSIX locale abbreviation is ... I thought it's language code so I included language code above if it's not that please let me know

Pinging @sledges

@hlebk, current translation suggestions are mostly Cyrillic. What is the status quo in the country, Latin vs Cyrillic?

Hello and thank you @Victor Ibragimov; Tajik has been added and you are now the coordinator.

Hi @sledges, @jahonen, @holger, @martonmiklos, Tajik translation is 58% completed by November 30, 2019 \o/ ))) I am so happy about such a two week result and the ability to find a time to volunteer both for Tajik and Turkmen. \o/

Important note: Turkmen translators for this localization project are local residents, who currently reside in Ashgabat, Turkmenistan. I have already provided a series of trainings for them on how to use translation tools, keep the consistent style and terminology, understand the variables and tags in the source text. During the last translation session it was agreed with translators, so they try to keep their translations in a manner, as if the translated text was initially created in Turkmen for Sailfish OS, this approach should help to avoid word-to-word translations.

Have a great day! Victor

@Victor Ibragimov, you are now the coordinator https://translate.sailfishos.org/tk/

Please refer to @nthn about how they uploaded their offline translations for the whole Dutch (Belgium) language as per this comment.

Dear Sailfish OS Team and @sledges Thank you so much for including Turkmen language. At the current stage it was decided to upload translated files one by one and make sure that every added string is correctly aligned with original source files.
