Time for Licq 1.3.6 (call for translators)
Erik Johansson
After a short discussion on #licq we figured it's time for a new Licq
release. Some bugs have been fixed since 1.3.5, but the biggest change
would be the inclusion of qt4-gui. No time plan yet, but I'd say a
couple of weeks with release candidates as usual, and then a release.
Comments?
Since qt4 is new and all, we also figured this would be a good time to
drop translations that aren't maintained and have less than some
percentage of strings translated. Is this a good idea, and what should
that number be?
But we would of course much rather see the translations become
maintained and updated for qt4-gui. So if you prefer to use licq in
your native language, please consider becoming the (co-)maintainer for
a translation. Or if you don't want to be the maintainer, just doing a
single time translation.
Depending on the current status of the translation it will probably
require a couple of hours to get it fully translated. But once that is
done, it's a matter of doing a limited (but much appreciated) work
before every release to get it up to date.
So, if you are interested in updating a translation, reply to this
mail and tell us what language you are interested in, and we'll tell
you how to proceed.
For current maintainers we would very much like if you would start
translating qt4-gui (and update qt3-gui and/or daemon translations).
Feel free to respond to this mail as well and tell us that you've
started updating the translation.

Is there any shortcuts for translating the qt4-gui or has that to be
done compleatly from the beginning? What tools to use?
I am the current, but not so active, maintainer of the Swedish
translation of qt3-gui.
Don't know if I'll have the time to do an update but I'll try if I find
the time... I'll be working oncalls several nights the comming weeks so
there is not that much time.

The qt4 translations are based on those done for qt3, so it's not
necessary to start from scratch. For swedish the stats are (shown when
building):
Generated 1004 translations (528 finished and 476 unfinished)
Ignored 235 untranslated source texts
The easiest way to get started is to go to
http://svn.licq.org/svn/trunk/qt4-gui/po/ and download the language
you are about to translate. Then open the file in linguist (the qt4
variant), translate the strings and send the updated file to licq-dev.
But since you most likely want to test the translation first, the
procedure looks something like this:
1. svn co http://svn.licq.org/svn/trunk/qt4-gui
2. mkdir qt4-gui/build
3. cd qt4-gui/build
4. cmake ..
5. linguist-qt4 ../po/sv.ts
6. make install
7. licq -p qt4-gui
8. repeat steps 5-7 until satisfied
9. send sv.ts to licq-dev

As I know there is no big differences between old qt-gui translations file and
new QT4 one. Is there any way to merge/convert new qt4 ts-file to old qt3 one?
Addiitionally, I planing to finish belarusian translation for licq daemon in one
day.

Not that I knew. You can open the .ts files with both linguist versions. But
this won't help you much, since the strings are in different source files
etc. Just open both files, and do copy and paste, where appropriate.

Please add belarussian translations for the Licq daemon.
How much time I have to complete translations for qt3-gui?

I don't know of any relase plan with fixed dates yet, so just take the time you need to get it finished.
I was actually surprised to see that we had only two (now three) translations for the daemon.
The following is the status I got from make:
be: 879 translated messages, 1 fuzzy translation, 1 untranslated message.
de: 879 translated messages, 1 fuzzy translation, 1 untranslated message.
es: 873 translated messages, 7 fuzzy translations, 1 untranslated message.
It would of course be great if we could get the daemon strings translated to all the languages available for the gui(s).

Please apply attached patch that included final version of belorussian
translation for the QT3 based GUI.
Thank you.
