who would be first to inhibit localize.drupal.org?

Hey, Localize.drupal.org (or localise.drupal.org) is becoming real! :) A central setup of the localization server project (which is already used by some of the translation teams) is alive on localize.drupal.org. It was running in a catch-up / testing mode this past weeks to parse up recent Drupal project releases. It currently - knows about 4886 projects - parsed up 5274 (0 in queue and parsing new releases as they are available on d.o) - 37943 files scanned - which results in 145646 strings to translate That is a huge amount of strings to translate but the UI allows you to focus on distinct projects even on distinct releases. Only projects with stable releases are parsed, but these 5274 projects include at least one stable release from the end of each branch of each project. The localize.drupal.org site works in a single-sign-on system with drupal.org, in which it is also pioneering new functionality on drupal.org. That was also tested in recent weeks, and we worked out solutions to some bugs, but there might be others lingering still. Good news it that you don't need to register on the site to use it, but will get redirected to drupal.org for login and get logged in on localize.drupal.org too. A wider announcement is expected later, but before getting a flood on us, it would be good to try and migrate a team or two to this platform and see how it works. We can either migrate teams from the drupal.org CVS based commit workflow or from another localization server. There should be no duplication in teams however, so unless there is dedication from the team to move to localize.drupal.org, we will not migrate a team. Advantages to be here include: - all releases of projects parsed, backups solved, so no need to manage all that within your team - central packaging and distribution will be implemented from here (not yet implemented), so sites will get translations from here easily - single sign-on with drupal.org - if you are still using the CVS workflow, this is far superior in many ways If your team would like to be among the first to migrate, let me know.

Dear translators, In case you did not notice before, I've submitted a proposal for Drupalcon Paris about the upcoming localize.drupal.org service. If you happen to come to Drupalcon, voting is not closed yet, so your support is appreciated: http://paris2009.drupalcon.org/session/here-comes-localizedrupalorg See you in Paris! Ps. I'm working on debugging drupal.org release syncing (and making it run in less time) at the moment. Gábor

Translation (pseudo)contexts in Drupal 7
by José San Martin 27 Jul '09

27 Jul '09

Hello, As a language with poor morphology, English sometimes does not distinguish verbs from nouns. Filter, Upload, Archive, Link, Update, Post... and many other words that are used in Drupal. Other languages are a more morphology-heavy and when we translate Drupal to other languages this ambiguity may be a problem. Take Upload, for instance. There is a button "Upload", but there is also a module "Upload". There's the need to use different words. It's not an exclusivity for noun/verbs, though. "Order" is one thing in Views, and another thing in Ubercart. The shorter the string, the easier it is to exist this kind of ambiguity. There is already the use in Drupal core of string context. The blank variable in "!long-month-name May" is used distinguish "May" in the series "January, February.." to "May" in the series "Jan, Feb...". This very pattern could be used elsewhere: "!noun Filter" would be different from "!verb Filter", so that we could translate "Filtro" and "Filtrar", respectively, or "Filter" and "filtern". What do you think? Is this a good approach or something more radical should be done to support contexts? Perhaps a fourth symbol - #context, instead of "!, @, %" , to make it mor organized? There is still time to fix Drupal 7. See you, José San Martin Brazilian translator

There are several possibilities: 1) translations the Vietnamese translation project for Drupal could probably use your help, it does not have a complete Drupal 6 translation yet. http://drupal.org/project/vi Maybe start by posting a message in the issue queue. 2) You speak of "documents", did you translate part of the handbooks or other sources? For these, you probably should set up a vietnamese community site. Looking at http://drupal.org/language-specific-communities, there does not exist one. If you need help with this, we can discuss this.
