Hi,

Two questions - I've got the main UI translation for Gaelic (gd) at 97% (some strings I need to check in context) but I was wondering at this point what the process for getting a new locale into release is? Is it automatic or do I need to file a bug and go through a release process?

The other question is about the textures - they are the most noticable non-localized part of the UI at the moment and they're not in the main po. I've looked at the other files with the gimp- prefix on Gnome but can't see them in there either (stuff like Ancrylic, Grass, Smoke...)

Unfortunately names for GIMP resources - such as textures (patterns), brushes, palettes, gradients are not internationalized, and are untranslatable.

What file are they in?

Cheers

Because these file formats have no extractable text data that could be put into PO files.

It's possible to work around it, just not trivial.

Hi João,

That sounds really peculiar - why would these be untranslatable?

Or, to be more precise, there are no parsers to extract the text data that is there and prepare it for gettext. Inkscape guys wrote such stuff for e.g. GPL palettes, so it's possible to even translate colors. But we didn't do that.

Ok, thanks for the explanation. Are there plans/other people interested in making this happen?

Not that I know.

I'm also still not sure about getting the new loc into 2.10 (if new locs can be added to minor versions) - currently the translations are sitting in master - do I need to work on another file and/or file a bug for the new locale?

First of all, master == 2.10 :) There is no branch for 2.10 yet, and there probably won't be any time soon.

Secondly, I wouldn't recommend translating master at all, unless you enjoy doing your work twice :) The 2.8 branch, however, is perfect to get your translation to actual users.

Grrr that wasn't obvious but ok. If I commit to 2.8, is the process automatic for releasing the new locale to the released GIMP builds?

Yes, once the translation is there, it will be used in all builds.

You will have to run 'intltool-update gd' after moving your translation to the branch, though. But I guess you already know that :)

No, I didn't, thanks for mentioning it, I'm mostly a (very good) translator but not very good at code. There are a lot more people who are good at translating than people who can do both, sadly.

There's nothing about code or programming here, really :)

You might download POT files from https://l10n.gnome.org/ and update your PO files from those templates in poEdit just as well :)
