15 Jun '15

Dear All, My name is Huseyin Cotuk, and i have been using OpenStack for more than 3 years in production. I am working for the Turkish government and we operate an OpenStack cloud for governmental institutions, universities, other research institutes and internal projects. Currently we have more than 4000 cpu cores, 500 TBytes of storage and so on. I am head of cloud department at TUBITAK ULAKBIM in Turkey, and while OpenStack Days Istanbul yesterday, we met with Jonathan and Lauren. We talked about our projects and i promised for the Turkish translation of OpenStack dashboard for the Turkish community. My organization TUBITAK ULAKBIM is also coordinating national operating system (Pardus), and we already have a translation team for this OS. We will work together with this translation team, and my team will review the translations after OS team finishes. My transifex id is huseyincotuk and the project name is openstack_turkish. I am looking forward to hearing from you. Best regards, Huseyin

Thought on String Freeze
by Akihiro Motoki 15 Jun '15

15 Jun '15

Hi I18N folks, # Congratulation for the official I18N project!! I first thought to send this mail to the dev list, but it seems better to share my thought in the I18N folks first. Problems ========== I am feeling that String Freeze does not work well in the past several releases.There are several I think we should not apply String Freeze for projects for which not so many translators work on. As far as I understand, Horizon and documentations are targets for most translations in the past several releases. On the other hands, core reviewers of projects other than Horizon and docs (including keystone) were taking care of String Freeze exception WELL. My Proposal ============= Considering the current status, I think we should limit "String Freeze" only to projects which translators are interested in. My idea is to declare projects we would like to enable "String Freeze" just after Liberty-3 is cut. By doing so, other projects no longer need to take care of String Freeze exception. (Note that the freeze date of the documentation projects are different and we can apply some different policy on documentations). Thought? I cannot join the team meeting tomorrow due to LinuxCon/CloudOpen Japan, but I hope you will share your thought on this topic. Thanks, Akihiro

Fwd: [openstack-dev] [horizon][i18n] Ordering of PO files
by Tom Fifield 09 Jun '15

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [openstack-dev] [horizon][i18n] Ordering of PO files Date: Mon, 8 Jun 2015 17:28:39 -0600 From: Thai Q Tran <tqtran(a)us.ibm.com> Reply-To: OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions) <openstack-dev(a)lists.openstack.org> To: OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions) <openstack-dev(a)lists.openstack.org> Hi folks, In the midst of shifting to angular, we are making use of babel for extracting messages. This would then allow us to write a custom extractor for angular templates. Here's the patch that compare PO files: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/189502/ It looks worse than reality, if you compare the django vs babel makemessages, they are nearly identical, only the ordering is different. Which leads me to my next point. If the ordering of the translatable strings are not the same, how does that affect translation (if at all)?

I18n team working sessions in Vancouver
by Ying Chun Guo 05 Jun '15

05 Jun '15

Hello, all We had a great day yesterday. There were two I18n team working sessions. People from Japanese, Frech, Russian, Polish, Chinese and Chinese Taiwan team attended. Key persons from Doc team, infra team, and Horizon dev team joined the discussions too. We made good progress with glossaries, document translations, string freeze, tool migration, and etc. More details could be found in the etherpad pages [1] [2]. Yet our translators still want more face to face communications. So I organize an ad hoc meeting on Wednesday afternoon, only for translators. If you are translators and in Vancouver summit now, come to join the ad hoc meeting. The place is at a round table outside the Room 1, East Building at the Vancouver Convention Centre. The time is from 2:05pm to 5:05pm on Wednesday, May 21st. I will sit there and wait for you to join. I created an Etherpad page for us to track the discussion. Feel free to add the topics you want to cover. https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/vancouver-translation-team-workshop Thank you. Best regards Ying Chun Guo (Daisy) [1] https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/Vancouver-I18n-WG-session [2] https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/Vancouver-I18n-Translation-platform-session

I18n team, OpenStack Project Team!
by Ying Chun Guo 04 Jun '15

04 Jun '15

Hello, all I'm pleased to announce that I18n team is approved by TC to become a OpenStack Project Team. We are now under the authority of the OpenStack Technical Committee. In return, we could get some space and time to discuss our future development at the Design Summits. Our contributors could vote in the Technical Committee election. This is a great milestone after I18n team was created. Next, we need to figure out the criteria of our core members and active members, which might be different from dev team. We will initialize the core team, then grow the team and increase the contributions. Let's work together to make it a successful team. Best regards Ying Chun Guo (Daisy)
