Gimp 2.8.4+plugins
Hi,
I have been translating Gimp in Catalan since two years, and some people
have alerted me than the Gimp 2.8.4 has many strings not translated for Mac
OS X.
I write to this list because I have seen than the official Gimp's webpage
offers a build with some extra plugins. I think that's a great idea, but
we're offering Gimp with incomplete translations.
I want to propose:
a) Add a warning in webpage that could clarify that this version is not
completely translated.
b) Remove this build of Gimp of download's webpage
c) [my preference option] Add strings of these plugins for translating in
Gnome damned-lies.
I would like to know what do you think.
For option c) perhaps you can't help me in this list. In this case, where do you think that I can make this suggestion (developer list, to open a bug...) ?
Thanks a lot!
Regards.

Hi,
is this a OS X-specific problem?
I write to this list because I have seen than the official Gimp's webpage offers a build with some extra plugins. I think that's a great idea, but we're offering Gimp with incomplete translations.
Is this the one hosted at http://gimp.lisanet.de/Website/Download.html, or ftp://ftp.gimp.org/pub/gimp/v2.8/osx/gimp-2.8.4-nopython-dmg-1.dmg (probably not, as this one is described as "stock GIMP build without python or any add-ons")?
I want to propose:
a) Add a warning in webpage that could clarify that this version is not completely translated.
Or maybe a message that tells users where and how they can help to complete the translations? See also d)
b) Remove this build of Gimp of download's webpage
Um... why? Then we would have to remove all links to all downloads because all of them contain translations that are not complete.
c) [my preference option] Add strings of these plugins for translating in Gnome damned-lies.
... strings for third-party plug-ins in the gnome repository?
I would like to know what do you think.
I'd suggest
d) tell more plug-in authors about translations and how they can add them
For option c) perhaps you can't help me in this list. In this case, where do you think that I can make this suggestion (developer list, to open a bug...) ?
Thanks a lot! Regards.

Thanks for your response, Michael
Yes, this is a OS X-specific problem with this build: http://gimp.lisanet.de/Website/Download.html Others downloads, could have incomplete translations according to translation percentage: https://l10n.gnome.org/module/gimp/#gimp-2-8 but these incomplete translations can be solved easily for the community. The plugins translations is a more complexe problem.
About the plugin's translations, I'm interested in this question. How can plugin's authors add translations to gnome damned-lies?
Thanks a lot! Regards

I'm confused...
So all the extra add-on in this packages come with a Catalan translation, but it somehow does not work on OSX?
If not, then the same would happen on all platforms if those add-ons were bundled.
Others downloads, could have incomplete translations according to translation percentage: https://l10n.gnome.org/module/gimp/#gimp-2-8 but these incomplete translations can be solved easily for the community. The plugins translations is a more complexe problem.
About the plugin's translations, I'm interested in this question. How can plugin's authors add translations to gnome damned-lies?
They should add translations to their own plug-ins. If there is no infrastructure for this yet, then maybe some organization can create one?
I'm not sure if you realize it, but you are basically asking us to tell volunteers that bundling add-ons without complete translations is discouraged and will get links to their GIMP builds removed from www.gimp.org.
I somehow doubt that this would be beneficial to the availability of ready-made GIMP packages.
