Subject: [i18n] Call to translators: 8.2 is closer
Kaixo!
As you may already be aware if you follow Cooker new betas of 8.2 come
and a lot of improvements are present.
Of course that means also a lot of new or modified strings to translate.
Several languages have already finished or near finished the
translations, however there may still be some packages left,
or the previous translator is busy with other things or has lost
interest.
So, if you are interested, go to
http://www.linux-mandrake.com/l10n/translations.php3
and look the status of the translations for your language; maybe you
can do something to improbve it, if needed.
Thanks

Hi,
I will try my best to sync from zh_CN translation of
menu-messages into zh_TW. (it means: you will have
a zh_TW menu-messages po file with more than
50% translated.)
I will give you my very first result in 1 or 2 day.

Please don't hurry. Some Mandrake developers had alread been working
on zh_CN translation. Besides, a direct conversion of zh_TW to zh_CN
is usually unacceptable for users in mainland China. You should have
known this when you see some translations converted from zh_CN to
zh_TW.
Additionally, there's an official translation team for zh_CN. Please
go to http://i18n.linux.net.cn to have a look. For now, I'd suggest
not to touch zh_CN translations at all.

For another matter, the 'uncentralization' of translations is
starting to be unacceptable. For example, everyone fights for
menu-messages, yet nobody knows everybody else are working on
it. Is any management of translation files being worked on, or
there's simply no management at all for traditional Chinese
translation?
For now, kenduest has the final say on menu-messages. Please
direct any query to him for menu-messages translation.

Thank you for all of your comment.
I did aware of all issues you metion, like direct chacter by character
translation from zh_CN into zh_TW is not possible.
I can understand 'uncentralization' is not good, so I did
CC to zh-l10n(a)linux.org.tw in the mail I send to you.
kenduest has done most work, only you have not put it
on http://www.linux-mandrake.com/l10n/translations.php3
or no one mention on zh-l10n(a)linux.org.tw mail-list.
Since it have been done, I think I can have a happy Sunday ^_^

Management is still the key word here. I'll take GNU software
translations for example -- currently people only throws their
translations on this list, but very few people know that they should
sign disclaimers before submitting translation to Translation Project.
Gnome, KDE and Mandrake translation status was also a mess.
For gnome, I'm not doing good work for my part of management,
so I'll see if anything better can be done for now, since Gnome
2.0 is very near.
For KDE, I don't know current status -- is kenduest working on new
web interface for handling translations? I've heard something like
that during KDE 2.2 days, but no news afterwards.
Mandrake part is the worst -- nobody manages anything. I'm not
speaking of you, since I am guilty myself -- trying to take over
menu-messages translation, since I don't know anybody is working
on it, and nobody announces it (except one, during Mandrake 8.1 days).
People, it's time now, to declare what translations you still want to
handle, and what you can free up for others to take over.
