Wiki page for LibreOffice localization "language teams"

Kazunari_Hirano · October 12, 2010, 1:33am

Hi all libre people on the list,

Are you libre?

Let me hear you!

Are you libre?

Good!

Now I can hear you.

We The Document Foundation (TDF) is making LibreOffice(LO) any
language and any platform office suite, then any people on the earth,
who use computers, can use LibreOffice to create documents and express
what they think.

Can you take a look at the page 34 and replace
OpenOffice.org/StarOffice/StarSuite with LibreOffice?
http://marketing.openoffice.org/ooocon2004/presentations/thursday/BOF_LocalizedBuilds.pdf
Then you read, "Let us open up new markets and allow all the people on
the earth to use our great Office Suite in their native languages! We
are all sure that LibreOffice benefit them."

OK, now, I would like to propose a wiki page for LibreOffice
localization "language teams"

http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Language_Teams

If we agree on this name of the wiki page, then I will create it.

Next I would like to hear your opinions and ideas about contents of
the wiki page.

At first I will create the wiki page, based on the following page.
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Languages
You can see table items such as Language, IUT Code, MS Locale ID, MS
Locale ID (hex), ISO code, Symbolic, Environment Variable, Responsible
person, etc.

When I was helping maintain this page, I was wondering if we need all
these items, or if we need more.

The aim of the "language teams" wiki page is:
1. Any people who want to use LibreOffice in their native language and
to help localize LibreOffice can visit the page and find out who to
contact, which site to visit to get info in their language. If they
don't find their language on the page, they can add their language to
the page.
2. Any developer who want to build their language version of
LibreOffice can find necessary language info and locale info to build
install sets and language packs.

OK now give me your opinions and ideas.

Thanks,
khirano

+1 from me.

I don't think columns 2,3,4,6,7,11 are very useful. If MediaWiki allows hiding certain columns with a possibility to unhide them, I think we could certainly make use of that feature.

I like the general idea; but if I may suggest something: let's simplify the
table, and have a link pointing to a page of the team (can be one team main
page) with the names of the contributors?

Best,
Charles.

We haven't got a translation platform or something yet (Pootle and the
Transifex standalone can do stuff), but maybe some nice translation
statistics as well alongside the team? Maybe you can find some
inspiration below:

The unofficial Mandriva i18n stats:
http://mdk.jack.kiev.ua/stats/gui/trunk/team/nb/

Outdated, and not standalone:
http://www.transifex.net/projects/p/OpenOfficeorg-no/

Mine's not public, so this is the next best thing:
http://pootle.sunvirtuallab.com/

As there have been no objection against the name, I created it.
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Language_Teams

If MediaWiki allows
hiding certain columns with a possibility to unhide them, I think we could
certainly make use of that feature.

I am not sure about the feature. Let us do it later.

2. Any developer who want to build their language version of

You are right. I have made it very simple.

When we have our own translation platform, we will add "a link to
translation statistics" to the page.

Do we really have a Klingon team or is it just a joke?

Hi Rimas,

Yes, half joke half serious

http://www.sunvirtuallab.com:32300/tlh/

As you see, our Klingon team has very little resource.
LibreOffice 4 would not have Klingon langpack yet.
LibreOffice 100 might have Klingon installset and langpack.
If you want to see them, live long!

Thanks,
khirano

A little premature mailing there... But Klingon is no laughing matter!

Hirano-san
I love sushis and sashimis as exquisite japanese cuisine. Now I got introduced to the exquisite japanese humour.
Thank you

Xuacu · October 13, 2010, 1:40am

Hi, Hirano san!

I've created the basic pages for Asturian language and some work in
progress. In case I've misplaced some of them, please, feel free to move
it as needed.

Best regards.

I created a page for Lao!

Hi Hallot san,

Hirano-san
I love sushis and sashimis as exquisite japanese cuisine.

That's good. I am glad to hear that you love them.
Good for your health, so you live long

Now I got introduced to the exquisite japanese humour.

Maybe as Japanese are living in one of the world's fastest aging
countries with an aging government, we can not survive without humour

Let us live long!
Thanks,
