Ubuntu-translators Digest, Vol 1, Issue 4

[Љубиша М. Радовановић]

Hello,

    I added my self on http://wiki.ubuntulinux.org/TranslationTeam for a
Serbian translation. On http://wiki.ubuntulinux.org/LjubisaRadovanovic I
have put some links about Serbian translation efforts. I hope so, that will
be also useful for Macedonian i Bulgarian (and other future Slavic)
translators.

Ubuntu Wiki works fine, but don't have meta tag charset=utf-8 in header (for
readers).
http://www.canonical.com and
http://www.ubuntulinux.org - have this charset tag
http://wiki.ubuntulinux.org - don't have
http://shipit.ubuntulinux.org - don't have
http://lists.ubuntulinux.org - don't have
http://people.ubuntulinux.org - don't have
http://www.ubuntuforums.org- have charset=iso-8859-1 (for other language in
future You should go on utf-8)

Also this translation lists (or perhaps Digest header in all Ubuntu lists)
should be utf-8.
You can see received Digest with many question marks (??????? ?????)

Best wishes,

Ljubisa Radovanovic

> The main things I know that need work at the moment are the installer
> and GNOME. Both of these have large, well-organised upstream translation
> teams, so it's best if we work with the debian-installer translation
> team and the GNOME Translation Project as much as possible. Of course,
> for messages which are in Ubuntu but not in upstream, we will need to
> provide Ubuntu-specific translations.
>
> We're planning to make it possible to translate the Ubuntu website soon.

> If you haven't worked on free software translation before, the best way
> to get started is to find a piece of software you'd like to see in your
> language and work on that.
