Dear Anthony & Thomas,
This Jouston, Kdesktop.po's zh_TW translator.
I'm sorry that I postponded Kdesktop.po. Actually I don't know the schedule of
KDE3's release so that I didn't notice the translation process.
Please kindly mail me if new message comes. Give me a chance to make it better.
Best regards,
Jouston

Like I said, as for the 3.0 release it is up to
Dirk Mueller to decide
if there is still time (and how much). But the sooner you come up with
something the better I guess.
Okay, kdesktop.po is now 100% translated. Just needed to clear some
fuzzy entries, and adapted some translations from Wang Jian's zh_CN
kdesktop.po. Took about 1.5 hours. (Again, courtesy of ThizLinux
Laboratory Ltd. because they pay for the work I do. ;-)
I have just downloaded kde-i18n-zh_{CN,TW}.tar.bz2
and I'll see
how much I can borrow from the CN team. :-)
Sounds like a good idea. ;-) Yes. Normal criteria are to have kdelibs.po and
desktop.po fully
translated and kdebase around 80%. The more the better of course. But
we will about always include languages if the maintainer shows up and
says "it's good enough for release" (or I need a release to actively
recruit new translators). Main thing is that this stuff is continously
and actively maintained and that there are clear responsibilities.
Hehe, it will help when everyone has upgraded to KDE 3.0 first. :-)
Hope more users and vendors can join the effort.
Cheers,
Anthony

Hehe, I kind of missed it too, and I was planning to get involved _after_
the KDE 3.0 release (so that I can actually see the result immediately.)
:-) And compared to other *.po, it is quite small, so it was relatively
easy for me to go in and fix the fuzzy entries, especially with help from
the zh_CN translation. ;-)
But yeah, I guess we all do need to monitor the KDE lists more often. Also,
better coordination is desired. We can learn from Wang Jian's zh_CN
translation project. It has grown to be much more and much better than I
have ever imagined. :-) I wonder if we can borrow the PHP code on his site
to get a similar site set up for traditional Chinese. And then we need to
gather the community to get them involved. :-)
Cheers,
Anthony

You can always find the release schedule at http://developer.kde.org/.
The one for 3.0 is at
http://developer.kde.org/development-versions/kde-3.0-release-plan.html
Apart from that, people responsible for translation must be subscribed to
the kde-i18n-doc mailing list (and actually read the mails from there). As
for how to handle translations and getting to know about strings to
translate please have a look around at http://i18n.kde.org/, esp. the stats
there and the Translation HOWTO.
We have something like 60+ translation teams at the moment, and we are
getting more and more of them. This is great and very important for KDE and
free software. But please understand that we can't mail them individually
for everything. You have to get yourself organized and to work as much on
your own as possible.
Regards,
Thomas
