Re: Internationalisation

Hello,

can you explain more why internationalisation must be quick?

Is it really going to be a disaster when it only catches up in 4.0.3?

I personally see no reason why i18n cannot be done only once the bugs are being ironed out...

That said, I often see wrong/unappropiate translations into my language. What I would love to have is a "tool" to run and submit the change proposal to some list of people who take it and put it to cvs.

Kay

It is one of the policy of KDE to release translations with the first stable version. (Yes, some other projects do otherwise.)

As for the "tool", you can use KDE Bugs: http://bugs.kde.org

Have a nice day!

And how does that happen? Because some translators never run the application they translate or never the development version of it prior release. Those web translation interfaces intensify this effect additionally as translators may not even be interested in/run KDE. They get single strings presented and don't know how terms are translated elsewhere within the same application or elsewhere in KDE. And likely they don't even know the tools or lists/ways how to report ambiguous strings back to the developers of the for translation process aggregated projects.

http://bugs.kde.org exists: product="i18n", component=your language.

For reporting bugs in the translation, the Dutch team uses a html-interface:
http://www.kde.nl/helpen/bugs.html

wich can be used besides bugs.kde.org
