Information about MeetBot at http://wiki.debian.org/MeetBot. 18:08:51 <Inigo_Montoya`> Useful Commands: #action #agreed #help #info #idea #link #topic. 18:09:15 <sebsebseb> back 18:09:32 <marja> #topic does anybody have anything to say about the installer help? 18:10:09 <marja> the German help is finished, but tobi is going over it for a last review 18:10:11 <lebarhon> The update isn't easy, will we have something else for Mageia3 18:10:21 <Umeaboy> I'll be finished sometime soon to. 18:10:38 <Umeaboy> I hope some time on this night. 18:11:11 <marja> lebarhon: we are doing it wrong..... I think when in the English text something is changed, we should put the changes on the ml 18:12:09 <marja> is it possible, with kdiff3, to only get the changed lines, nothing else, and to save that? 18:12:14 <lebarhon> marja: iit is double work, Calenco and then ML 18:12:50 <marja> lebarhon: well, yes, but now you don't know what is changed if we only say: that file, somewhere there 18:13:19 <marja> well, some files have para xml:id's, for those it is easier 18:13:32 <lebarhon> We should translate in the wiki, modifications are easy to find 18:13:34 <yurchor> It's easiear to use WebDAV and sort the files by date to see the chages. 18:13:39 * simonnzg is playing trains. 18:14:33 <yurchor> I just copy the chaged file, make PO and see if something substantally changed. 18:14:40 <yurchor> *changed 18:15:17 <tobi_> the german translation is corrected completely :) 18:15:20 <marja> yurchor: if no one did that already, can you write a how to in the wiki, on our how to translate with Calenco page? 18:15:46 <marja> yurchor: about the use of po etc, your method 18:16:15 <yurchor> marja: It seems nobody interested when I wrote this in ml. :'( 18:16:21 <marja> tobi_: great..... I already sent an older version to barjac, but I'll send the latest version too 18:16:31 <marja> yurchor: I know you did 18:16:45 <marja> yurchor: but I was too busy at that time, and still am 18:17:06 <papoteur> Hello all 18:17:23 <marja> yurchor: and I didn't underssstand completely 18:17:23 <lebarhon> What is PO ? 18:17:23 <yurchor> Well I will write this on wiki later. 18:17:23 <marja> yurchor: in the wiki, it is easier to find than on the ml 18:17:28 <marja> yurchor: thanks a lot!! 18:17:30 <Umeaboy> Is it possible to have the current file changed somehow when updated? Like if you have changed one sentance it'll become untranslated again in the updated file. 18:17:33 <yurchor> lebarhon: PO is the standard Gettext file. 18:17:35 <marja> papoteur: hello 18:17:37 <Umeaboy> I hope you get my point. 18:17:51 <papoteur> I'd a look to your method, yurchor, but the problem is when we already start to translate. 18:17:56 <marja> Umeaboy: read what yurchor is going to write 18:18:01 <Umeaboy> OK. 18:18:33 <marja> papoteur: we'll have new files later, for the draktools etc. :) 18:18:56 <Umeaboy> Btw.....who does the proofreading? 18:19:04 <papoteur> Ok, for starting from scratch 18:19:05 <Umeaboy> Of the english files. 18:19:34 <marja> yurchor: I'm not sure it was you, but I think it was... I forgot to tell you that DrakX.xml contains a line that needs to be translated, too 18:19:44 <yurchor> Ok. Opera Software ASA used to have ~1MB of translatable html help files. We used to translate them directly. And now all this was converted to po nothing to worry about. ;) 18:20:16 <yurchor> marja: I translated this. It's in Calenco. 18:20:47 <marja> yurchor: I mean this line "Installation with DrakX" http://docteam.mageia.nl/uk/installer/content/ 18:20:48 <[mbot> [ Installation with DrakX ] 18:21:03 <yurchor> But not in the same group as the other files. Just like nl. Yes, I know. 18:21:13 <marja> yurchor: DrakX.xml is in a different folder 18:21:20 <yurchor> Yes. 18:21:35 <marja> but in the uk space 18:21:59 <yurchor> Yes. Should I put it in the same group? 18:22:12 <marja> yurchor: it is in the "Manuals" classification 18:22:26 <marja> yurchor: no, it should stay in "Manuals" 18:22:44 <yurchor> Ok. So what's the problem then? 18:23:16 <marja> that that file still has a line "Installation with DrakX" 18:23:41 <marja> yurchor: so in the webhelp, Ukrainians see that English line ;) 18:24:21 <yurchor> Oops. Seems, I committed the wrong file. Sorry. 18:24:29 <marja> yurchor: np :) 18:25:05 <yurchor> marja: Fixed. 18:25:10 <yurchor> Thanks. 18:25:19 <marja> yurchor: you're fast, thank you :) 18:25:41 <marja> barjac: are you around, I'm afraid I sent you another "dot" file 18:26:20 * marja did everyone see the message about the text-install paragraph that is changed in installer.xml? 18:26:43 <barjac> marja: np ;) 18:26:52 <marja> it was on the ml almost 4 hours ago 18:27:36 <marja> barjac: I couldn't make a changes.patch, is that because those files didn't exist yet? 18:28:30 <yurchor> marja: Heh... I cimmitted the right file (rev. 1.0), but it was overwritten by somebody... Can this be avoided in future? ;) 18:29:53 <marja> yurchor: no one is supposed to touch your files..... you're the only one who speaks Ukrainian..... :(........ oh, I know how it can have happened..... I have a problem with the xxe addon........ I use it to check whether a publication is valid.... 18:30:14 <marja> before I have it converted into html 18:30:57 <barjac> marja: "svn add <filename>" would add a file so it would then appear in a diff 18:30:58 <marja> but I noticed that, for me, the xxe addon sometimes shows an older version of the file 18:31:09 <marja> barjac: thx :) 18:32:16 <yurchor> BTW, is this critical to have lang="lang_code" in all files? 18:32:38 <marja> yurchor: I'm afraid I was checking the validity at the same time you uploaded your file.... your older version isn't even in the history :( 18:32:58 <Umeaboy> Is this sentance really correctly written in English? SCSI drive controllers 18:33:06 <marja> yurchor: it doesn't work at the moment, but in future it should work 18:33:07 <Umeaboy> setupSCI.xml 18:33:31 <Umeaboy> Just want to doublecheck. 18:33:38 <marja> Umeaboy: several native English speakers checked it 18:34:25 <Umeaboy> OK. 18:34:39 <marja> yurchor: in future, the lang="*" code should help to get rid of things like "sections" that we still have in English 18:35:02 <marja> ennael: ping? 18:35:10 <yurchor> marja: Thanks. This makes things clearer. :) 18:35:18 <marja> yurchor: yw :) 18:36:16 <marja> #info the lang="*" code should help us in future to get rid of English words like "sections" 18:37:01 <marja> #Action yurchor will write a how to in the wiki about his translation method with PO files 18:37:49 <marja> unfortunately, we can't yet screenshots without "rc" after the name "Mageia 2" 18:38:19 <simonnzg> Umeaboy: Just to be sure... I'll take a look at setupSCSI now.. 18:38:43 <marja> I hope ennael will read this later, and remove the "rc" so we can take the screenshots for Mageia 2 final 18:38:43 <barjac> simonnzg: looks OK to me 18:39:16 <marja> does anybody have anything else on the installer help texts? 18:39:57 <barjac> marja: Only that totally wrong one :\ 18:40:10 <simonnzg> Mmm. I can see what umeaboy is getting at. It's correct, but stilted. 18:40:11 <marja> barjac: what is totally wrong? 18:40:57 <barjac> marja: The one we spoke about this morning that displays a dir listing 18:41:23 <marja> that are two ones 18:41:29 <simonnzg> Umeaboy: I could rewrite it, but at this point, maybe we should leave it and fix it for M3A1? 18:41:54 <marja> https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5086 und https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5634 18:41:56 <[mbot> Bug 5086: major, High, ---, thierry.vignaud, NEW, Wrong help for several screens during install, drakx-installer-stage2 18:41:57 <[mbot> Bug 5634: normal, Normal, ---, thierry.vignaud, NEW, pre 2 rc Help text opens at the bottom of the page, below (start of) correct segment, drakx-installer-stage2 18:42:11 <simonnzg> Umeaboy: It would create extra translation work, even if the meaning is the same. 18:42:37 <marja> there are two help text bugs, but we found out they already existed in Mandriva 2010.1 18:42:51 <marja> so we inherited them from Mandriva 18:43:24 <marja> for bug 5634 we made a workaround, by putting those links at the bottom of the page 18:43:26 <[mbot> Bug https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5634 normal, Normal, ---, thierry.vignaud, NEW, pre 2 rc Help text opens at the bottom of the page, below (start of) correct segment, drakx-installer-stage2 18:44:24 <marja> for bug 5086 we made some links to those help texts in the help for the summary page..... but not many people will find it easily 18:44:26 <[mbot> Bug https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5086 major, High, ---, thierry.vignaud, NEW, Wrong help for several screens during install, drakx-installer-stage2 18:44:43 <marja> so it is really good we have an online installer help now :) 18:46:52 <marja> anyone who loves perl can have a look at the issues, of course ;) 18:47:24 <marja> any questions or remarks? 18:47:35 <Umeaboy> simonnzg: Right, but you could have two versions of it. 18:47:48 <Umeaboy> One for stable & one for Cauldron. 18:48:01 <simonnzg> Umeaboy: "On some older SCSI drive controllers it may be unable to determine the correct drivers to use and subsequently fail to reconise the drive." 18:48:04 <Umeaboy> The one in Cauldron is for testing. 18:48:15 <marja> #topic the wiki 18:48:26 <simonnzg> simonnzg: Best guess. Done on the train with a headache, so may be a bit messy still... 18:48:30 <marja> lebarhon: is everything quiet and peaceful in the wiki? 18:48:57 <lebarhon> Yes except two pages 18:49:05 <simonnzg> Umeaboy: "With some older..." 18:49:10 <marja> lebarhon: what is wrong with them? 18:49:24 <marja> lebarhon: maybe you want to give links? 18:49:33 <simonnzg> simonnzg: I wrote them? ;-) 18:49:42 <lebarhon> No introduction, half in English and French, It is not easy to know what it iis about 18:49:47 <Led43_mag2> marja: i could post your 19:46 "anyone post" to the two lug channels i lurk in and see if anyone wants to help, i think the d&c lug may have some perl user's in it 18:49:47 * simonnzg says to himself.. 18:50:02 <Umeaboy> simonnzg: Yes.........what about it? 18:50:03 <marja> Led43_mag2: fine, thx :) 18:50:25 <simonnzg> lebarhon: Post the links.
