About "installation guide" translation
by Ying Chun Guo 14 Feb '14

14 Feb '14

@ teams who are translating "installation guide": "Installation guide" has references to a few xml files under the folder "common" in openstack-manuals. While you are translating "installation guide", don't forget these xml files. They are: keystone-concepts.xml kvm.xml qemu.xml introcution-to-xen.xml compute-options.xml ch_installdashboard.xml colocating-services.xml You can locate the strings of these xml files by the following steps: 1. Go to "common" in Transifex, and select your language. https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/openstack-manuals-i18n/resource/common/ 2. In the "search" box (at the top left corner), select "File" and input the xml file name . All the strings in this file will be listed. With the help of Łukasz Jernaś, there is an easy way to review your translation result. Go to website http://docs.przytulnoc.pl/ and select your language, you will see the translated document. There are 2 weeks left in Feb, let's try to complete the translation by this month! Thanks and regards Ying Chun Guo (Daisy)

[RFC] another message id generation proposal
by Peng Wu 14 Feb '14

14 Feb '14

Hi, Recently I read about the idea of REST API message and log message i18n proposals. I think maybe we could generate the message id by file name, method name and line no, like "test2.py#Main#15". I think this new message id is shorter and more readable than md5sum. And with this kind of information, the developer can locate the message as follows: 1. find all files with the same file name; 2. jump to the line no; 3. verify the function name and the gettext call; Then the developer can find the corresponding message. In the attachment, it is a small python program to print the information. Feel free to comment this new proposal. Thanks, Peng Wu Refer URL: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/oslo/+spec/log-messages-id https://blueprints.launchpad.net/oslo/+spec/log-messages-translation-domain PS: I just noticed that some developers are considering to log both English and translated log messages, dunno whether they plan to return both English and translated REST API messages.

Some hacks on gettext for separate pot file generation
by Peng Wu 11 Feb '14

11 Feb '14

Hi, Recently my colleagues pointed out that gtk+ project already support multiple pot files, it supports both _("msg") and P_("msg") notation. In gtk+ project, it has two directories, po for _("msg"), po-properties for P_("msg"). The po directory is the same as other projects, the po-properties directory has modified the po-properties/Makefile.in.in file, to recognize P_("msg"). It uses "XGETTEXT_KEYWORDS = --keyword --keyword=P_" to extract the P_("msg") messages. Actually this approach requires one directory for each pot file, maybe good to not introduce many gettext directories for openstack projects. Thanks, Peng Wu

Daily install documentation builds
by Łukasz Jernaś 06 Feb '14

06 Feb '14

Hi, I've finally managed to get the daily doc builds up and running. So you should be able to find the install manual for your language here: http://docs.przytulnoc.pl/ Build status should be available at http://docs.przytulnoc.pl:8080/ and the code for running these jobs is available at https://github.com/deejay1/openstack-jobs I hope you'll find this useful ;) Now I can get back to the translation itself... Best regards, -- Łukasz [DeeJay1] Jernaś

Fake Conferences CSCI and WORLDCOMP of Hamid Arabnia
by hailybrown＠hushmail.com 31 Jan '14

31 Jan '14

Fake Conferences CSCI and WORLDCOMP of Hamid Arabnia If you have any thought of attending the world’s biggest fake conference in computer science, WORLDCOMP http://www.world-academy-of-science.org you must visit any websites below https://sites.google.com/site/worlddump1 or https://sites.google.com/site/dumpconf https://sites.google.com/site/moneycomp1 https://sites.google.com/site/worlddump4 The organizer of this conference is Hamid Arabnia http://www.cs.uga.edu/~hra a professor from University of Georgia, Athens, US. The primary goal of this conference is to collect registration fee by accepting all submitted papers. Several fake papers were published in the conference proceedings. He already earned millions of dollars from the registration fee and is using part of the money for anti-Christmas greetings campaign. http://worldcomp-fake-bogus.blogspot.com has additional information on this campaign. He recently started another new conference CSCI due to his hunger for money http://www.americancse.org Hamid Arabnia failed to reveal the reviews and reviewers' information for all the papers he received, despite repeated requests and challenges. The reason for his failure is there were no reviews and reviewers and he just cheated the research community for more than a decade by announcing that each draft paper is reviewed by two experts. We challenge him to publish these details at the conference website. Where are these experts? Where are these reviews? Soon he comes up with a story that he lost all the reviews and reviewers’ information because of computer crash or theft. DBLP stopped indexing these conferences since 2011 and displayed an explicit message; The DBLP Advisory Board decided to discontinue indexing of this conference series. Visit http://www.informatik.uni-trier.de/~ley/db/conf/biocomp/index.html as a sample. He was forced to remove his name, the university of Georgia name, and university of Georgia email address from the conference’s contact page because the University has banned him from doing that. Do not spoil your resume by publishing in this bogus conference. Wikipedia’s comments on Hamid Arabnia are at http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Hamid_Arabnia&oldid Additional information on this conference bogus conference is available by searching internet using the keywords worldcomp fake or Hamid Arabnia fake Apologies for posting to multiple mailing lists. Spreading the news is the only way to stop this conference from harming innocent researchers. Respectfully, Many researchers cheated by Hamid Arabnia’s fake conferences

Translation for Havana stable update (2013.2.2)
by Akihiro Motoki 29 Jan '14

29 Jan '14

Hi team, The next stable update release of Havana (2013.2.2) will be scheduled next week. After the previous release 2013.2.1, we have a few typo fixes in Horizon. Two strings are already changed and a couple of strings are under review. I have just synced Transifex Havana resources with the latest Horizon repo and will keep up-to-date. You will see OpenStack dashboard translation with 99%. The update must be a work with several minutes. I will import the latest Transifex translation after next Sunday 24UTC. Thanks, Akihiro

What's up, I18n team
by Ying Chun Guo 29 Jan '14

29 Jan '14

Recently, below items are ongoing and I'd like to have you updated. * Installation guide translation Several translation teams are working on its translation. The Japanese translation is completed finished. Korean and German have more than 50% completed. Russian, Chinese and Portuguese have certain progress. Many thanks for the excellent work of these teams. Feb. 28 is a good date to close this translation work. After that, we will start the messages translation. If you want the installation guide in your own language to be published in Icehouse cycle, please try your best to catch the date. * Scripts and automation jobs to publish translated documents The script to publish Japanese operations guide is running well now: https://jenkins02.openstack.org/job/openstack-operations-guide-ja/ The link to Japanese operations guide which is generated by a Jenkins job is: http://docs.openstack.org/ja/trunk/openstack-ops/ Many thanks to Tom Fifield 's work. The resource of openstack-ops in Transifex is updated to date recently. There are a few changes. There come a few strings remained untranslated in Japanese translation of openstack-ops. I see some English strings remained in the generated Japanese operation guide. Japanese team please take a look at it. * Horizon translation resources in Transifex There are two categories in Horizon in Transifex now. The "havana-stable" category contains the translation resources for havana-stable release. The "main" category contains the translation resources for the current main branch, which will be released in Icehouse version. I have synchronized the resources under "main" category manually with git repository. At the same time, I'm working on the scripts to automatic the synchronization https://review.openstack.org/68042 If you want, you could start Horizon translations from now. Then you will have an ease time in March after string freeze date (on March 6th). * An enhance to Horizon I18n Now some table columns in Horizon are not able to translated. See the bug description: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1224329 Peng Wu is working on it. He has proposed a fix: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/68868/ People who are interested in Horizon can take a look at it. * Add support for translating log levels separately Doug Hellmann from Oslo team is working on it. When this function is enabled, we are able to separate log messages from the big single message resource file. Then we can focus on the user facing messages translation and set the log message translation to low priority. The discussion thread in dev ML is: http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2014-January/025572.html The patch is under construction now: https://review.openstack.org/65518 People who has interests could join the discussion. Things that we will work on in Feb are: * Finish installation guide translations. * Write scripts and create jobs to publish these installation guides in different languages. * Set up Horizon messages translation environment in Transifex Our next IRC meeting is on Feb 6th. If you have questions/suggestions to the above items, or you want to help on these things, send email to me, or talk to me in the next IRC meeting. Happy Chinese New Year! Thanks and regards Ying Chun Guo (Daisy)
