  • some questions about the Greek translation of the release notes

    From galas@21:1/5 to All on Sun May 21 15:10:01 2023
    Dear friends!

    I am Emmanuel Galatoulas, long term contributor to the Greek translation
    of the Installation Guide as well as of the Release Notes. My Salsa
    username is galaxico-guest.

    Checking, just before the release of Debian 12/Bookworm, the status of the Greek translation of the release notes I find in the statistics pages that
    the percentage of the Greek translation (el) in stable (I suppose
    bullseye) is 92.71%

    - https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/statistics.html

    whereas for the testing (Debian 12/Bookworm) is 100%.

    - https://www.debian.org/releases/testing/statistics.html

    This is in accordance with the statistics for the po files in the Git
    project (https://salsa.debian.org/ddp-team/release-notes).

    However, checking the web pages in

    -https://www.debian.org/releases/testing/releasenotes,

    say for amd64, I realised that there are some untranslated bits here and
    there, which is somehow confusing, since as I said all the relevant files
    in the git project has been translated.

    Trying to find an explanation, I found that in the git project except the master branch there are also branches for the various releases, amongst
    them a "bookworm" branch. In this branch there do appear two files with
    some not-ready or untranslated bits (the files issues.po and
    upgrading.po).

    So, here is my question: should I complete the translation of these two
    files in the branch "bookworm" for the Greek translation for the release
    to be completed? Is it permitted to work with branches other than the
    master?

    I would be grateful for an answer clarifying the situation since, as you realise, I am exciting (as everybody) about the imminent release of Debian
    12 and equally eager for the Greek translation of the release notes to be available to our Greek community and users.

    Accept my sincere thanks for your hard work for such an exciting release
    of our Debian!

    with best regards

    The stats check the number of translated strings in yours files but
    don't take account of the strings introduced in the new files version.

    Hi Emmanuel,
    I looked at the greek issues.po file, it seems up-to-date for bullseye
    release, but you have to update it to be sync with the bookworm
    release. As noted in the README.tranlsators file lines 66-67 https://salsa.debian.org/ddp-team/release-notes/-/blob/master/README.translators

    "* To update your language files against the English original, use:
    $ make updatepo LINGUA=de "

    In this way, you will have all greek files synced with the last English
    files.
    Best regards,
    Jean-Pierre Giraud
