Re: glossary_Firefox_bm.xlsx - Invitation to edit

[Peiying Mo]

Hi Mamadou,

Thanks for sharing your work with me.  I have a few questions and favors to ask:

- How different between Songhai and Bambara? Are they phonetically identical but are based on different scripts?

- I can save your .po file as an additional glossary on the Bambara page.  How did you get the list of terms? Has this been through peer review?
- We want to standardize the list so when we merge feedback,  and have better version control.  This is very important when I don't read the language.  I also share the same list with our partner.

- Does you list contains all that's included in the google doc? If not, would you review those not covered in the .po file?

- I understand that using google doc has its limitation, but using other format and sharing files with people who are not technical or would like to be able to sort, or tracking versions will find .po file difficult to handle. We also share the same file with partners. 

So, given that, could you go through the list you provided and see if any English terms are the same but with different translations, you can add those to the "recommendation" column. 

Also, the feedback is from the community, granted that not everyone is active or has time to do it, I would like to have you run by them so it is a collective feedback (i know this is time consuming).

If this is the best you can do and there won't be any feedback, I will have the agency to put things together in the current google spreadsheet format. 

I also notice that the Mali community is also cc'd on this list.  Should I include them in the Bambara l10n project request?

Thank you,

Peiying

I had started on this sometimes ago but as FFOS was priority I've stopped since and turned my focus on FFOS instead.

Please, find attached some PO files of my translations. It was originally from Songhai (Koirachiny) that I'm turning into Bamanankan along the way.

Rgrds,

Mamadou.

Prying,

That PO is for the guys in Mali as I mentioned it during the session in Mali. It is something to get them up and running and not repeat translating the words and expressions that I did. So it wasn't meant for you.

I will still continue on the Google doc link you sent a while back, I changed priority a while back and was trying to get the FFOS done first.

This list was originally sent to me by Abdul who translated them into Songhai/Koirachini and I do the same in Bamanankan as I go a long. Otherwise there might be resemblances between the two languages but very subtle.

Please invlude the Bamanankan community, there is not that much active people as Internet access in Mali is still a nightmare, it is frustrating and nearly beyond comprehension. Including them will allow them to have continuous update on the tasks at hand.

So don't save the PO at least not yet as it is not complete.

Dear Mamadou and Peiying,

Thank you for the warm-up in Bamako and follow-ups since. I was disconnected, on vacation in the countryside in northern Italy. Just back in town, it will take me a couple of days to clear urgent matters and get back to you.

Best wishes,
Mohomodou
