Hi guys.
I'm just wordering if this effort to allow translating KDE from translatewiki (not the wikis, which use \
the system already, but the POs, as I understand) is known.
For more information: https://translatewiki.net/wiki/Translating:KDE

Hello, dear friend.
This is the translatewiki.net[1] e-mail newsletter for March 2013. This month we'd like to inform you of \
upcoming major changes in the translation editor and possibly supporting localisation for KDE. We hope it \
inspires you to reinvigorate your efforts at translatewiki.net[2]. Thank you for supporting \
_translatewiki.net_. The success of open source software localisation relies on your continued \
involvement and enthusiasm. Please try and dedicate 15 minutes a week – preferably do more and bring \
your friends! – to updating and reviewing translations for your favourite project.
*Redevelopment of translation editor nearing completion*
The translation editor and the selector for choosing a set of texts to translate ("group selector") in \
the MediaWiki Translate extension, that is used for all the translation work on _translatewiki.net_, but \
also on wikis of Wikimedia, and for example userbase.kde.org[3], has undergone a major redevelopment[4]. \
With the help of many people like you, we have taken into account your feedback from user interaction \
studies, and now the new developments are ready for you to start using it. Below you find two links that \
will enable or disable the new functionality. Once we have gone through a few weeks of testing, the new \
developments will become enabled by default and we will disable the old translation editor. Make sure you \
are logged in when using these links for the expected result:
* To enable: https://translatewiki.net/wiki/Special:Translate/core?tux=1[5]
* To disable: https://translatewiki.net/wiki/Special:Translate/core?tux=0[6]
Please let us know what you think[7]!
*Translation for KDE?*
Niklas Laxström has previously organized two KDE translation sprints[8] for Finnish using the Translate \
extension. Given the positive experiences, we started thinking why not use web-based translation system \
for KDE permanently, not just for the duration of sprints. Translatewiki.net may be a good place for \
this. We are considering investing in making translation of KDE possible in translatewiki.net[2]. We will \
need help, so if you are involved in KDE translation or would like to translate KDE at \
_translatewiki.net_, please see page Translating:KDE[9] and make yourself known on the talk page[10] \
where we can discuss if and how to continue. To make this happen we will need at least a couple of \
languages willing to use translatewiki.net[2] and support from KDE folks for things like commit access. \
Niklas is planning on presenting this idea and make some big steps at Akademy 2013[11].
*Behind the scenes*
* We have set up an instance of Apache Solr[12], the popular, blazing fast open source enterprise \
search platform from the Apache Lucene project, which now handles our translation memory and translation \
search queries. The functionality of the translation memory has not changed, though it is a little \
faster.
* The first version of our advanced search page[13] is finally available at translatewiki.net[2]. \
Please try it out and give us feedback[14]. We are planning to make some improvements soon, to for \
example make the search case insensitive and the way the facets are displayed.
* The translatewiki.net[2] SSL certificate configuration was fixed. The problem was not affecting \
normal use.
* We have started monitoring our uptime. In February 2013, our uptime was 99.93%.
If you are a developer of a promising Free or Open Source Software product and you are looking for a \
great community to localise your product, please get in touch with us! The same goes for those that wish \
to aid in developing the Translate extension further. Follow translatewiki on Twitter[15] for the latest \
news. Finally, if you are not a translator yet, please complete the steps[16] that will get you the \
status of translatewiki.net[2] translator and allow you to be a localisation hero! We welcome feedback \
about this newsletter. Please let us know by sending a reply to this mail. We will try to accommodate \
your wishes. Niklas LaxströmSiebrand Mazeland
