Updated catalogs
by Barry Warsaw March 18, 2004

I committed updates to the Mailman catalogs for 2.1.5. You should be able to CVS update and update your translations. I probably won't have time to release 2.1.5 until after Pycon so you have some time to update. Don't forget: you definitely want to be working on the Release_2_1-maint branch. In your CVS checkout, be sure to do: % cvs -q up -Pd -r Release_2_1-maint to get the latest copies. Thanks, -Barry

First Turkish Mailman translation is now available.

Hi all, I am a systems administrator at Hacettepe University, Turkey. We have lately migrated from Majordomo to Mailman and are happy to say that we quite loved it :-) When I downloaded Mailman, I looked if there was a Turkish translation for it, and saw that, while it seemed like it is being translated (not submitted), there was no translation. I have been translating and using it for more than two months, and as still nothing has been posted for Turkish translation, I decided to post my translation for production use. Attached is the Turkish translation for Mailman 2.1.4 I am also the head Turkish translator for the SquirrelMail webmail project, so I think my translations should be highly reliable :-) If there are Turkish users in your mailing lists, please enable Turkish and send any feedback from them to me. Best regards to all users and developers of the project. -------------------------------------------------------- Kerem Erkan Hacettepe University, Computer Center Systems Administrator

Hi Barry, How about generating the .pot file and announcing string freeze on the Release_2_1-maint branch at least a week or so before 2.1.5 makes its way out the door? Then translators will have time to update their translation. :) Translators: Is one week enough? :) -Daniel

incongruity in LC_MESSAGES
by Sergey Tyrin March 5, 2004

March 5, 2004

Hi, in the most up-to-date messages.pot appears the following line : #: Mailman/Cgi/listinfo.py:189 msgid "Edit Options" however, in the parsed HTML page the caption of the button reads "Unsubscribe or edit options". Which one is correct? And a bit off-topic: IMHO, the names of the languages at the listinfo and roster pages should be in the national language - in contrast to the admin section where they should be in the interface language (the admin should know which languages he enables, shouldn't he?) The idea is that the visitor can change the language of the interface to his convenience, but once the names appear in some other lingua - how should he guess? Extreme example: a mailing list where all discussions flow in Volapük however the owner enables his diverse audience enjoy interface in several other languages - Danish (dansk), French (français), Thai (ไทย), Russian (русский). Furthermore, he himself is from Japan so the default is Japanese. A visitor coming to the site would have no idea how to make it readable and even if he manages to find the combo-box, what would he select? All language names are in Japanese!! Sergey.
