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

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?

Hello and thank you!

The link to transifex says "Forbidden access", and I already see Czech translated to 99% here: https://www.transifex.com/kenya888/unofficial-jolla-translations

Is it a double effort? Also I've asked what's the best way to migrate from transifex to pootle here: https://together.jolla.com/question/134532/how-to-migrate-translation-strings-from-transifex-to-translatesailfishosorg/?sort=votes&page=1

Honestly, I don't understand why there is the other project.
Sorry, I have posted link directly to language, It seems it is not supported by transifex for some reason. https://www.transifex.com/jozef-mlich/jolla-cesky/https://github.com/jmlich/jolla-cesky I can send you the *.tar.gz archive with *ts files if it helps. https://build.merproject.org/source/home:xmlich02/jolla-translations-cs_CZ/jolla-translations-cs_CZ-1.13.tar.bz2?rev=351308d193860b098cce52b75ca4aba4

By the way, we have also Slovak language with 81% of translations.

Hi, can you please set user 'nodevel' as coordinator of Czech language? Personally, I have very few time to work on Czech community translation right now. He is very active member of czech community I believe he will do better job than me. Thanks.

Thank you @xmlich02 for all your hard work, and let the Czech flag fly together with @nodevel \o/

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 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?

They are now open and ready for you to translate @AbyZThomas, thanks! :)

@drpradeeprkrishnan, you have suggested a great deal of translations, thank you! Would you like to become a coordinator?

muzirian from Swathanthra Malayalam Computing community has suggested a few, but is not 100% sure about them, as he is only a fresh member in translating. Could you please accept/reject his works as well if you take up the role?

@sledges I am happy to become a coordinator. I am glad to know what I did was of help to the jolla team. I will be checking the translation page wheneverI get time. Thank you

@drpradeeprkrishnan, you are now the coordinator \o/

@drpradeeprkrishnan, Malayalam translation is now complete for this round, could you please review existing suggestions? :) https://translate.sailfishos.org/ml/translate/#filter=suggestions

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!

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

@xkkxk would you like to coordinate? @xmlich02 has been administrating both in Transifex, if I remember correctly

@sledges If there is no coordinator for Slovak yet, I could be one of them for a moment :-)

Tag! You're it @zemiacsik, thank you and enjoy! :D

@zemiacsik Is there a space to help with translating to slovak? Up to date I suggested whole untranslated phrases (1025).

I can help to translate SF in Latvian :)

I also can help in translation

Volunteer to help or to coordinate, braliukai? ;)

Im here to help! :))

Hi, can I take the role of coordinator for Latvian?

ready to help greek translation (Jolla C, Jolla)

@dglent or @mento, now that Greek's in Pootle, would any of you like to be the coordinator? :)

thats ok with me [mento], although I assume dglent has much more experience than I do.

@mento, now you are the coordinator, it's just fine to have more than one, waiting for @dglent's confirmation too :)

Yes i confirm also for accepting the coordinator's role

With Latin Serbian available Sailfish would be one step ahead of Android. Should be preeeetty easy to get an automatic Cyrillic -> Latin transliteration going anyway.

Yes! It's very simple. 1 to 1 character mapping.

Just to be clear, Serbian and Sorbian are two different languages. Thanks :)

Ok. I got coordinator status for unofficial-jolla-translations - Serbian language on transifex. If you want to contact me there my nicknameis is also saleki. Lets start translating and show our will :)

Ok, ready to help, I am from Serbia, will participate. Jolla 1 here, Jolla C ordered.

Also, I was creator of keyboards for Cyrilic and Latin Serbian, but user Penguin done packaging for me. I can take that part also.
