Hello! I'm currently the admin for the Swedish language team.
Welcome!
(Note that I don't have much time over for this, so if somebody with
spare time and the skills want to take over as admin, then just ask.)
(Note 2: I'm writing in english so that not just Swedes will
understand it. :)

Thanks Natanael,
Are there any other people signed up to translate a Swedish?
Do you have any friends or contacts who would be interested in
contributing, or who you could perhaps recruit?
Probably the best way forward on this to find somebody who can take an
active role in actually doing the translations, and then from that
person or group of people we can put somebody into the coordinator
role.
But if things have been slow so far, it's fine for you to remain the
coordinator. Thanks so much for volunteering!

Is anyone willing to "translate" to English (United Kingdom) ?
There are currently no coordinators for English (United Kingdom) so if
anyone is interested in that, Holmes will keep it. Otherwise it will
be removed as English UK and Enlgish US are quite similar, except for
a few spelling differences.
Also, the "English" language team is going to be removed as the
project is already in English (United States).

plus the fact that there are no coordinators for both. Or would you

You were right, the error that says "Sorry, your file could not be
sent because of an error." is from within Transifex itself.
I use POedit. I edited the project name and version, team, language
and plural forms and tried to submit with one string translated but no
joy.
Screenshot: http://yfrog.com/fynorp
I tried several times with several settings but to no avail. I have
addressed the issue by contacting Transifex through their IRC channel
#Transifex http://webchat.freenode.net/ and we'll see what they have
to say about the error.

I am glad to announce that I contacted Transifex through IRC and one
employee replied saying that he "hotfixed the server yesterday". I
submitted the Norwegian Bokmål translations successfully. Again, you
were right, it was an internal Transifex error. Now you too can
successfully submit translations to the Universal Subtitles project. I
believe you should be able to submit to the Conboy project as well but
I haven't tried as I'm not a translator for Conboy. Please let me know
if everything goes well or you encounter further problems.
Thank you.

bit more into that because I think it must be deleted from the

(0/0/385) http://www.transifex.net/projects/p/universalsubtitles/c/default/
Hovering over the exclamation mark says:
"This PO file is broken. The web editor is disabled for it."
Basically the error means that one cannot translate in-browser, but
can only upload a file which has been translated with POedit or other
localization software. There is no team established for Tamil (ta)

I would like to kindly request from all coordinators to keep in touch
with their respective teams and discuss whether you would like to set
personal or team goals for finishing a certain translation percentage
within a certain period of time. For example, I am doing the Arabic
translation and have set a personal goal to reach 100% by the end of
November 2010. If it's possible, invite friends, family members,
etc... anyone who likes/would like to volunteer in translating the
Universal Subtitles project to another language or languages.
I would also like to invite inactive members or those who have not
contributed anything yet to contribute. Even if you can contribute a
little it's still great, because little contributions add up to big
contributions when several individuals are all contributing to the
same thing.
One last thing. I would like to know how many of you would like to see
a more detailed tutorial on using Transifex and using POedit. If I see
a significant number of requests I will make a tutorial.
Thank you!

I have recently been notified by fellow translator Silvia from the
Spanish (Spain) team that you guys cannot translate anything due to
the fact that there is no file to begin with. So there IS a team, but
there ISN'T any file to translate. Same goes for Spanish (Mexican)
team.
Teams are here http://www.transifex.net/projects/p/universalsubtitles/team/es_ES/
and here http://www.transifex.net/projects/p/universalsubtitles/team/es_MX/
Files are supposed to be here http://www.transifex.net/projects/p/universalsubtitles/c/default/
but they do not exist!
Now as you can see, this is not the same case as with Spanish
(Argentinian) (es_AR) & Spanish (Castilian) (es). Both files are
there. The only thing left is for a person to come and become a
coordinator for either team. Once that is done, the team will show up
here http://www.transifex.net/projects/p/universalsubtitles/teams/?page=2
I'm seeking help from the Transifex folks at the IRC as usual and I
have yet to receive a reply. So this is just a notification for the
Spanish (Spain) es_ES & Spanish (Mexican) es_MX teams that I'm working
on the problem and not ignoring it. By the way, if anyone knows a way
around this problem, please do speak up and let me know how to solve
it.
Finally, many thanks to Silvia for notifying me about what seems to be
a major issue.
Thank you all.

See screenshot: http://yfrog.com/72addfilep
Holmes, based on the screenshot, please ask someone from the Universal

to add a Spanish (Spain) & Spanish (Mexican) translation file. Or if
you can do it yourself, then please do so.
Awaiting your reply and wishing to get this fixed very soon.

Note to everyone else: The new Transifex now has an auto-save option,
that is only if you translate in-site. At the bottom right, you can
see a button named "General Settings". From there, tick auto-save.
Auto-save is recommended because you will not lose your hard work in

Thanks for joining and for translating Universal Subtitles. Re:
2011/6/30 Karel Jára <jara....@gmail.com>:
I'd second that, but I believe this is a Transifex setting. However,
as new translation teams must be approved by the maintainers of the
Universal Subtitles translation project, in case people should ask to
create a cs-CZ team, we could simply suggest that they join the cs
team, I gather. Dean? Holmes? What do you say?

Claude Almansi
After checking the strings that are still untranslated in Italian,
apart from language names Holmes told us would be translated
automatically, 2 strings really beat me:
1) String ID: You can use murkdown. This will replace Description.
Description: None
Comment: -
Occurrences: apps/teams/models.py:89
What is murkdown?
2) String ID: Receive notifications about sends me a message
Description: None
Comment: -
Occurrences: templates/profiles/edit_profile.html:122
Do you mean "Send me notifications when someone sends me a message?
And then, there are quite a few strings with "Suggestions". Pity
Transifex does not seem to offer the possibility to view only those. I
was wondering about starting a common document for all "suggestioned"
strings of all teams (as usually the suggestion expresses a doubt
about the meaning of the string)?
Maybe a Google spreadsheet?

Markdown. It's a typo and I have just created a ticket for correcting it.

I think it can be translated as is.

This option has been removed, and was another case of jumbled English.

I second Karel's question.
Also: the explanations for the "Typing", "Syncing", and "Review and
make corrections", as well as those for "Translating", within the
subtitling application, don't seem to have transfered into strings to
be translated. Or did I miss them?
And shouldn't the video tutorials of the application be subtitleable
both in English and in other languages?
I am aware that this seems in contradiction with what I wrote you
off-list when new strings got added on June 3, Holmes, about not
adding new strings continuously, lest we translators get discouraged
by seeing our almost finished translations back at a low percentage of
completion. But I believe the above suggested additions would be
fairly light.

I'm a bit confused about the staging area. If I go to say
http://dev.universalsubtitles.org/fr/ should I expect to see many
string translated into French (for me everything is still in English).
Finally, regarding language names, these have already been manually
translated into Esperanto, so please don't autotranslate them (with
itranslate4.eu or whatever you are using).

Regarding the language names, in Czech it’s a bit more complicated and e.g. the word “English” might be translated several ways and one is the most suitable in one case but another in another case. It can be translated
- as the language name “angličtina” and then e.g. a string “English subtitles” would have to be translated as “titulky v angličtina” which back to English would be like “subtitles in English” but the word “angličtina” is in wrong language case in Czech. It should be “titulky v angličtině”. As I suppose, language cases are not possible. The language name version is acceptable in other places on page.
- as a proverb “anglicky”, which is the current way of how it is translated. The string “English subtitles” is very hard to translate with this one because “English” is not a proverb but an adjective in that string. Currently I have translated it as “titulky anglicky” which doesn’t sound much Czech but is bearable. The proverb version is quite suitable in other places on the site, e.g. in choosing the languages in profile or in the left sidebar of the watch page it is reasonable.
- as an adjective “anglické” which is the most suitable one for translating the string “English subtitles” as “anglické titulky” but is unbearable in all other places on the page.

Same for Italian too: yet the strings covering the home page and the
FAQ pages are all translated, as far as I know, and more than a week
ago.

With the proviso that I don't know Czech, Karel, I think I understand
what you say by analogy with other languages. Though we don't have
cases in French and Italian, we do have gender and number agreement,
so a decision problem when we are just given an adjective (and when we
don't know, to boot, whether it's an adjective or a noun). Though
there are some strings for multiple forms, they don't cover all these
instances.
Now each string has a "Suggestion" tab at the bottom. Unfortunately,
these suggestions don't seem to make their way to the people who
manage the strings .po file. So I was thinking: if each team could
mark this kind of issue in their translation, then we could perhaps
collect them all in a single publicly viewable online Google
spreadsheet for the people who manage the original .po file? I'd be
willing to set one up, together with a corresponding form for feeding
the spreadsheet (1),
Other suggestions?
