Minutes:

  1. Kit: I have a design question related to "possibly incorrect translations" (bug 230949).
  2. Changed English strings, for example, words being capitalized or changed to plural, will cause translations to be "possibly incorrect".
  3. If the translation actually needs to be changed, then it's easy. Translator will update the translation and save.
  4. However, if translation does not need to be changed (for example, double-byte languages do not have plural numbers, translation does not need to be changed), do we need a "confirm" button?
  5. If anyone has any idea about the design of the UI, please let Kit know.
  6. Kit: I discovered some Simplified Chinese translations in the Traditional Chinese folder by one user.
  7. Not sure if it was just a mistake or not.
  8. Sent an e-mail to the user to confirm about 2 weeks ago, but did not receive any response.
  9. Don't want to ban the user because it could be just a careless mistake.
  10. Denis: Bugzilla has a function to temporarily suspend an ID with a note.
  11. We could add a note and ask the user to contact us.
  12. Kit: That sounds like a good function. I will collect more info and work with Denis off-line on that.
  13. Gabe: We probably should implement a filter to show all translations from a user.
  14. Kit: That's a useful function for language champions. Let's open a bug for that.
  15. Status of "critical bugs for Ganymede": (no change)
    • 235132 - translations in some language packs do not show up because of extra folder name in language packs - dup of 221675

  16. Status of translation contributions":
    • Actuate's BIRT 2.3 Translation for 6 languages - passed IP, imports reviewed by Denis, Kit, Doshiro-san. JWG did not respond to review request yet. We think these translations should be in good quality. We will go ahead and release them to the server.
    • JWG's contributions - waiting for NEC to sign the Eclipse Employer Consent form.
