People are able to access julialang.org and the widget. The problems is that in some area the download and accesibility to github and aws is limited, which leads to complain in our chat chanel...
Hello @/all , I'm updating the community page of the Julia web site:
If you see something missing or have suggestons, please ping me and let me know, cheers!
Yes, while the strings are translated, some of them are not reviewed.
It was agreed we should publish only reviewed translations to production in order to ensure translation quality, by trying to avoid broken translations in julialang.org. The correct way to do this is that if for example, you translate a string, somebody else should review the string in order for it to be finally approved.
I'll raise the issue at the Portuguese chat room.
Hi! I have recently started contributing to the French translation and I was wondering if there is a chat or something where people discuss of guidelines? Like if we should translate the names of universities and specific technical words (« pull request » doesn't really have a beautiful and senseful equivalent in French, and people need to know what to look for on Github, which is only in English).
We encountered the same problem in Spanish-English translation -- I'm no authority, but I think there is no hard and fast rule about where it is appropriate. Don't want to say "use your judgement"... but sometimes somethings are understood to be spoken in English due to their technical origins, and we should'nt bend over backward in order to have 100% pure translation.
Also, welcome Joelle! Glad to have you join us.
And thanks for the welcoming! I wanted to contribute somehow to Julia, but I’m not experienced enough in coding to work on technical development… I’m glad I’ve found a way to help!
That's exactly where I've been at for the past few months. I've found that tapping into the Github email digest helps a lot, but I think some of the best advice is reading when people's "Basic Usage" topic questions' code gets developed over a long post by many different people.
They pull some crazy numbers in improvement, great style, and slick tricks. I'd definitely look out for that.
What's your Transifex nickname?
@miguelraz Yeah I’ve already started looking through the First Steps posts on Github and it’s definitely helping! However I have trouble finding the email digest you’re talking about… Would you mind sending me link to that?
And @Ismael-VC thanks! My Transifex nickname is JoelleFV too, I’m a simple person ;)
Here is the link, you should mark the watching option, there will be a lot of mail :warning:
@JoelleFV When you go to https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia, you can click the top lil' eye tab at the top and select "Watching" . You will then receive the emails to your GitHub linked email account.
Indeed doc translations are very important, I have some time this weekend to see if I can setup the docs translation toolchain.
This is the place for Julia and translation. @Ismael-VC can help you out.
Some basic info has been posted for users here if you scroll up.
You will have to setup a transifex account
For basic translation
Helping out with the toolchain involves porting some python tools to Julia, and Ismael will know all about that if you are keen
It's strange system.
I will master this.
I will master this.
Basically, until Ismael approves you, you can only contribute translations on Transifex. Then you can approve/review them. What percentage is Russian at for completion?
@Ismael-VC is it legit for me to review my own strings? I feel like the other members of the French team are busy elsewhere, because none of the strings I have translated since a month ago have been reviewed yet... If this is a normal reviewing rate though, I obviously don't mind keeping on translating more strings :smile:
It's ok to do this with the home page, but please be extra careful.
I'll try to make some noice, so we hopefully are able to atract more contributors, that are either interested in translating, reviewing or both.
