| 11:16 | kmkale | hello all, I am just starting off with Marathi translation. This is the first time I am attempting a translation of anything. I have a few basic questions. Can some one help? |
| 13:18 | helo | |
| 14:01 | gmcharlt | kmkale: hello |
| 14:05 | kmkale | I was looking for some help in getting started on translation |
| 14:05 | basic stuff for first time translator | |
| 14:05 | gmcharlt | right |
| 14:05 | starting point is going to http://translate.koha.org/ | |
| 14:06 | kmkale | yes |
| 14:06 | i have registered and started off | |
| 14:06 | did about 350 strings | |
| 14:07 | one query is what happens to these translations when the next version comes along? | |
| 14:07 | gmcharlt | they'd get imported over |
| 14:07 | kmkale | and marked as fuzzy? |
| 14:07 | gmcharlt | yes |
| 14:07 | kmkale | ok |
| 14:08 | now I am trying to use kbabel | |
| 14:08 | gmcharlt | I'd guess at least 50% of a 3.0 translation would carry over into 3.2 without modification, maybe more than that |
| 14:09 | kmkale | one thing suggested in kbabel's intro is to use po databases from already translated apps and use that to do a rough translation |
| 14:09 | is this a good approch? | |
| 14:10 | gmcharlt | I'm no expert, but that sounds reasonable |
| 14:10 | depends on how well kbabel can do merges | |
| 14:11 | kmkale | I got the kde compodium for marathi and trying to use that but it seems way too slow |
| 14:11 | gmcharlt | there is a lot of library-specific terminology though that may not be represented in other apps |
| 14:11 | kmkale | true |
| 14:11 | so any tips n tricks to make it faster? | |
| 14:13 | gmcharlt | not really, chris may have some ideas when he's on |
| 14:13 | (chris is the translation manager) | |
| 14:14 | kmkale | does he use nick rangi in freenode? |
| 14:15 | gmcharlt | yes |
| 14:15 | kmkale | I met him there yesterday and he actually started me off |
| 14:15 | gmcharlt | cool |
| 14:15 | kmkale | so you can say these are 2nd day questions:) |
| 14:15 | gmcharlt | :) |
| 14:17 | kmkale | do i leave a msg/request for chris here that I would like to chat? is that acceptable behaviour? |
| 14:17 | gmcharlt | sure, that's fine |
| 14:17 | we don't have a bot in channel that would deliver it to him | |
| 14:17 | but I believe he reads scrollback regularly | |
| 14:18 | kmkale | right. not much traffic right now |
| 14:18 | any idea of his time zone? | |
| 14:18 | gmcharlt | he's in New Zealand |
| 14:18 | kmkale | oh |
| 17:25 | chris: when you have a min can we chat about translation? | |
| 19:34 | SelfishMan | 8 hours left to go! |
| 19:59 | chris | kmkale: im around now |
