addlang

Does anybody have a problem with me removing bin/addlang? Note that with the latest cvs (hopefully to be alpha3 later today) once the language pack is installed for the site, individual lists can enable language support through the web interface. So I think addlang is no longer necessary. -Barry

Norwegian translation
by Daniel Buchmann 18 Aug '01

18 Aug '01

Hello, all. The norwegian translation is now almost done. :) Just a few command line tools left now. The web interface is fully translated, at least according to the latest message.pot (which is 11 days old, I hope there will be a new version out soon...). For those interested, the web page for this translation is: http://www.bibsys.no/~db/Mailman-2.1/ This page will contain my latest version of the translation files. (Barry: can you update the CVS repository with the contents of my mailman-CVS-norwegian.tar.gz?) -- Daniel B. db(a)bibsys.no

A few questions and some suggestions
by Daniel Buchmann 17 Aug '01

17 Aug '01

I've almost completed the norwegian translation for mailman-1.2a2. I will soon merge message.pot for mailman-1.2a3 with my message.po, but I want to finish message.po for the mailman-1.2a2 version first. But I need a little help with a few strings, because I don't know what they're being used for or where they appear. (Which is essential to know to be able to translate them). If someone could help me out, it would be great. What I would like to know is where these strings appear, and how to produce them. (e.g. what to do to make them appear in the context they are supposed to appear) 1. #: Mailman/Archiver/pipermail.py:276 msgid "Reloading pickled archive state" 2. #: Mailman/Archiver/pipermail.py:303 msgid "Pickling archive state into " 3. #: Mailman/Bouncer.py:220 msgid "BUT: %(succeeded)s" 4. #: Mailman/Cgi/admin.py:311 msgid "No valid variable details request not found: %(path_info)s" (I didn't really understand this one, is this a typo?) 5. #: Mailman/Handlers/Acknowledge.py:57 msgid "%(realname)s post acknowledgement" I now have have 763 translated strings in my message.po :) I'm skipping all docstrings and the strings for bin/pygettext.py. I'm also wondering how to make translated strings appear when running any of the commands in <mailman-dir>/bin. When I run e.g. check_perms, I still get "No problems found", not my translated norwegian string... And I have some suggestions/questions about some of the strings in message.po (my examples are for 2.1a2, some of these have been moved to other files in 2.1a3): 1. These two strings are the same, right? #: Mailman/MailCommandHandler.py:411 msgid "%(origsender)s isn't subscribed to this list." and #: Mailman/MailCommandHandler.py:436 msgid "%(origsender)s is not subscribed to this list." Maybe one of these could be chosen, so the same string is used both places? (In norwegian, for example, the translation of these to strings would be the same.) 2. Mailman/MailList.py:390 reads: "[...] In order to split the list ownership duties into administrators and moderators, you must set a separate moderator password in the section below, and also provide the email addresses of the list moderators in this section. [...]" I think this text maybe should be rewritten a bit, because the text does not appear where the user is setting the moderator password, it appears in the help/details page for providing email addresses of the list administrators. Maybe just removing "in the section below" would do be enough... (The same goes for Mailman/MailList.py:414) 3. Mailman/MailList.py:623 (2.1a2), Mailman/Gui/General.py:295 (2.1a3) Maybe reverse the order of 'Yes' an 'No' for this options, so they are put in the same order as the other options that appear above it? 4. Mailman/MailList.py:672 Maybe mention list moderator(s) in the text? Because it could be the list moderator that approves the posting, not the list admin... Like this: "require approval - require list administrator or moderator approval for subscriptions<br>." 5. Mailman/MailList.py:734 There is a typo here. "to to": "[...] The intention is to to prevent the addresses [...]" 6. Mailman/MailList.py:743 reads: "Must posts be approved by an administrator?" Maybe mention the list moderator here too? Like: "Must posts be approved by an administrator (or possibly a moderator)?" 7. Mailman/MailList.py:755 This is really a minor cosmetic detail. The string is missing a ')', which should be added at the end of it. -- Daniel B. db(a)bibsys.no

Cool error!
by Rodolfo Pilas 14 Aug '01

I have a list with private_roster set to "admin only" (I do not know the internal sintax). But the listinfo shows many errors, you can see at http://www.espaciolibre.net/cgi-bin/listinfo/uylug-noticias and in the attached html file. The problem is just in the text "This is a XX...XXX shadow list" for this reason I underestand that this is a problema of the Spanish translation. -- ____________________________________________________ -=(( Rodolfo Pilas - rodolfo(a)linux.org.uy ))=- -==((( Are you ready for XtraLinuX - http://xtralinux.org )))==- -=((____________________________________________________))=- Guarde sus mail en Echelon: OLP, Greenpeace, ETA, Hamas, Hizbullah, FMI Public GnuPG key: http://www.keyserver.net 1024D/57153363 2001-06-02 key fingerprint = DAAE 3246 3F7D A420 B7A0 48A5 D120 C773 5715 3363

AW: [Mailman-i18n] german translation
by Mahling, Andreas 08 Aug '01

08 Aug '01

I did a partly template translation of a prior (non i18n) Mailman version just for internal use. I thought about merging these translations in the i18n effort. Maybe we can work together?
