=== Cracklib Translations for Anaconda ===
=== F12 GA Release Notes Branch Changes & F12 Deployment Guide Added ===


Translation of the cracklib package was recommened by [[User:Ankit | Ankit Patel]]<ref>https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-trans-list/2009-October/msg00122.html</ref>, as this package provides some strings for the 'Root password creation' dialog that is presented by Anaconda during Fedora installations. At present the translations can be submitted directly in the sourceforge.net project page. However, [[User:Glezos | Dimitris Glezos]] informed that this package would be made available via transifex.net to accept translation submission<ref>https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-trans-list/2009-October/msg00127.html</ref>.
The Fedora 12 Release Notes documentation has been updated for the upcoming GA release and has been moved from the 'f12-tx' branch to the 'f12GA-tx' branch<ref>https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-trans-list/2009-October/msg00139.html</ref>.

Translation

This section covers the news surrounding the Fedora Translation (L10n) Project[1].

Contributing Writer: Runa Bhattacharjee

Fedora Website Translations

The Fedora Website content has been announced to be in string-freeze from 30th October 09, by Ricky Zhou.[1] As during earlier releases, translations for new languages would be required to be sent to webmaster@fedoraproject.org for inclusion. Languages which have earlier been translated can be updated directly. The translations submitted for the 'master' branch would be displayed on fedoraproject.org on the day of the release of Fedora 12, while translations submitted to the 'f12-beta' branch would be displayed on fedoraproject.org from now until release day.

F12 GA Release Notes Branch Changes & F12 Deployment Guide Added

The Fedora 12 Release Notes documentation has been updated for the upcoming GA release and has been moved from the 'f12-tx' branch to the 'f12GA-tx' branch[1].

Also, the Fedora 12 Deployment Guide has now been added to translate.fedoraproject.org to accept translation submissions[2].

Translation Schedule

The currently scheduled tasks for the Fedora Translation teams are: translation of all the Fedora Guides (starts on 21 October 09 and ends on 5th November 09) and translation of the Fedora Website (starts on 28 October 09 and ends on 10th November 09)[1].

Publican 1.0

Ruediger Landmann announced[1] the imminent arrival of Publican v1.0 which is comparatively faster than the earlier Publican v.0 and also fixes some of the current issues. The new version also allows documents to be migrated from the old version to the new version. Some elements in the .po files are handled differently in the two versions and as a result .po files translated for Publican v0 would require to be treated specially to work with v1.0. This would not be applied for documents that have been string frozen for the current release.

However, Miloš Komarčević from the Serbian translation team has highlighted a discrepancy in the nomenclature of the language code for Serbian written in Latin script[2].


Errors displaying .po files on translate.fedoraproject.org

As reported by Tian Shixiong[1], Göran Uddeborg[2] and Daniel Cabrera[3], links to the .po files are currently being redirected to a page displaying the 404 error. Dimitris Glezos has also added that the statistics have not been updated for the past 2 days[4]. Currently, Mike McGrath from the Fedora Infrastructure team has been working to fix this issue[5].
