I already said this twice in the past, but there wasn't much response: I'd like to
help with
translating Trinity into Polish language. At the moment there are many translations
missing. I am
willing to do the translation as long as I don't need to get into technical details
like learning
some fancy developer tools and alike. Just plain text files or some really simple dev
tools.

Hi Janek,
as a start, you can checkout the tde-i18n folder for the polish translation or download
specific files from the GIT repo web interface
(http://git.trinitydesktop.org/cgit/tde-i18n/tree/tde-i18n-pl) and update them.
.po files (in the "messages" folder) are plain text files. You can use Kate to
edit them.
.docbook files (in the "docs" folder) are used to create the handbooks and they
are also plain text files, even though in docbook format.
.po files and .docbook in general need to be updated (even the english source version),
but at least you can start to review them. If you have updates, please open a bug report
(something like "updated polish translation files" and attached translated files
when they becomes available).
Cheers

I'd like to add that it is very important that updated translations be
merged as fast as possible to avoid some situations we have had in the
past where the updated translations became useless due to changes in the
source tree. Translations appear to be unique in practice in that patches
against the translation sources "bitrot" much faster than changes against
source code or other documentation.

Thanks.
What is the repository

If you want to clone the entire GIT repo use: git clone
http://scm.trinitydesktop.org/scm/git/tde
If you want to clone only tde-i18n use: git clone
http://scm.trinitydesktop.org/scm/git/tde-i18n
The whole repo will take several hours to clone (>6-8 hours for sure).
tde-i18n should be around 2-3 hours I think.

ZOMG. Is it because the repo is so big, bandwidth is so limited or http protocol slows
things down so much?
The repo is quite big, I think the whole tde repo is something around 5.5 GB at the
moment.
Download bandwidth is usually around 60-100KB/s, at least here.

Thanks.
There is one major flaw that I mentioned earlier and I have to mention it
again: PO files are not updated for a long time == new strings cannot be
translated. As a first step it is necessary to update PO files for all
languages. Unfortunately, now I focus my attention to bugs listed in bug
2014, so I do not have enough time to prepare scripts for updating PO files.

You are right Slavek, that will probably go after v14.0.0 is released unless someone want
to volunteer on updating the "source" .po files.
But at least for now users can review the existing .po and update translations were
required.
