Hi all,

We are in the process of upgrading our Pootle installation to the latest
version, and we have done a test upgrade to catch any issue before going
live. The test server can be accessed here:

  https://translations-test.documentfoundation.org

Please note that this is a test server, any work you do there will be
*lost*, so only use it to test and report any issues you found, not for
actual translation work.

If no issues are reported, we will proceed with upgrading the live
server next week, so please report any issues you find ASAP.

Happy translating.

You'll probably find my comment quite funny but it doesn't work well on IE8
:relaxed:

This is the only browser installed on this computer (not mine) so if anyone
is using IE8 for translation it might be problematic.

Thanks for the work on Pootle new release.

I'll appreciate a feature we had long time ago and vanished in the
recent releases: Since I am a pt-BR translator, I will appreciate to be
sent directly to the pt-BR project once I log in. Today I am sent to the
page will all languages and I must scroll down to click in pt-BR link.

I also miss, when inside a project tree, a link to the pt-BR projects
root. If I have a link there I can jump more easily between the UI and
Help projects.

Thank you

Actually I just noticed this exist in the new version... The language
root is in a drop down box on the top of the pages... Thanks!

I've noticed better navigation, "exact match" in search (good!), "show timeline" (not for all items).

According to the Pootle documentation, this version supports translation memory (amagama server).
Can we activate this feature? It would help mostly in translation of the strings for the new dialogs - I do not think that we all have translated them yet. Moreover, a few hundreds of such modified strings will come perhaps in 4.3 again.

As I remember using TM from the amagama server in Virtaal some time ago, there were old openoffice strings there, but no LO strings. Pootle, however, supports private TM servers - does it make sense to set up our own one? Perhaps it would be useful to put translations from LO 3.6, 4.0 4.1 and 4.2 there

Hi Milos, *,

memory (amagama server).

This is activated, but it has the same problem as on the live server:
the translation memory server doesn't support https, so your browser
refuses to load it since pootle itself was accessed using https.

Your browser should show some indicator that it blocked content from
loading. In chrome it is a shield at the right hand side of the
location entry box, next to the bookmark-star, in firefox the
indicator is at the left.

Allow to load the content from locamotion org and it should work.

This was changed a while ago, but we are working on a user dashboard
feature that would bring this back.

I also miss, when inside a project tree, a link to the pt-BR projects
root. If I have a link there I can jump more easily between the UI and
Help projects.

I think you figured this one out.

Can you elaborate on how IE8 does not work? It should work in theory,
but we don't actively test it (note that, we are in the process of
upgrading to newer versions of some JavaScript libraries like jQuery
which drops support for IE8 and older, so future Pootle versions will
not be able to support such browsers).

Regards,
Khaled

Yes, it works! I did not notice that tiny buttuns earlier :slight_smile:
Thanks!

What is loaded in the TM now? It would be great if older version were in it too - exactly for the next batch of dialog updates.
