Neste tópico iremos discutir recomendações e ideias para o suporte de idiomas da versão breezy+1 do Ubuntu. Podemos fazê-lo em inglês para depois enviar para as mailing lists ubuntu-docs e rosetta.
- Rosetta must give clear indication of which package comes from main / universe / others
- Translators should be allowed to subscribe to changes in the given template (bugzilla like). It happens sometimes that a few strings are changed upstream, the translation is reused, but the translator doesn't notice that it's necessary to take a little bit of action to translate those few strings that changed. I think this a very important enchancement.
- Translators should be allowed to subscribe to changes in a given translation made by others.
- Any new application that is added to main, at least ubuntu ones, needs to be announced to ubuntu-translators and have support for translation! Look what happened with SMEG in breezy:-(
- Allow the team administrator to define that a package translation is completed and therefore no one can translate anymore unless directly allowed by the administrator.
- Allow the team administrator do define that a given package needs a REVIEW process. A REVIEW TEAM OF A GIVEN NUMBER OF ELEMENTS will then review the translations (the reviewers can mark the strings that are reviewed) and only when the review is completed the 100% status will appear.
- Please indicate explicitly if a given translation is being uploaded upstream or not.
- What about having a guy on IRC #ubuntu-devel or #launchpad or a new #ubuntu-translators, whose only function is to listen do translators various problems, which can be related to packages not having translation support, certain strings that can't be translated, etc. This guy would then take care of talking to developers, mantainers, etc. to help solve the problems.
- Include a "search" functionality in a single POT file and a "search" funcionality in all the POT files of a given language.
- Include ubuntu-docs in the langpacks.
- Allow for a search on the accepted translations of a given word or sentence. For example, I don't remember how to translate the word "Dictionary". I use the search box and previous translations of this word are shown, if any. (Something like the suggestions shown nowadays below the translation box).
