About Roseta Admins.

Hi,

Hope You and family are fine.

I am Tanvir from Karachi Pakistan.

I want to help translate Ubuntu in Urdu, or lets say in trying.

But cant see where I could contact Roseta Admins, they say that no language is defined for Pakistan. I want to define that it is URDU our mother and official language.

Also need some help as how to define plurals, surely I read then help for that, but that is little bit more confusing then helping :-)

Hope to hear from You soon.

Regards,

Tanvir.

In gnome-utils package seems to be the same. And there will be much more
packages. I thing it's translators fault (or they don't know which
format to use - answer is: same as in date program (man date)). I fix it
for Slovak. Fix it for your language.

Something another:
I have same problem as Ljubisa Radovanovic. I translated offline .po
file (control-center-2.0 for Slovak language) downloaded from
rosetta. I upload it to rosetta, everything seems OK. I got message:
"Thank you for your upload. The translation content will appear in
Rosetta in a few minutes." but after two days, package is still
untranslated. I reported it as bug but who can put that file on server?
I don't want to loose 700 translations.

Hi,

Just a note about translator comment with an example with current
gtk/pl.po:

"#. do not translate the part before the |
msgid "progress bar label|%d %%"
msgstr "progress bar label|%d %%""

This creates such issue with labels:
https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=16536

The cs, pl, pt, sk have this issue with the current package, a bunch of
other locale have similar bug on other things. That's a small bug but
can be ugly, so feel free to go and fix them for your locale :)

One feature suggestion for Rosetta could be to auto-fix or make a
summary of such issues maybe :)

Cheers,

Sebastien Bacher
