I am currently translating and reviewing the Brazilian Portuguese translations of TDE. In addition to completing untranslated strings, I am also working on terminology consistency across the different applications and components.
I do not know how often they are pulled in to PSB, but kvirc is failing to build, because of some missing \n or whatever. So they are already in GIT.
Hi all,
yes, most applications are already built, but kvirc fails. The basic problem with kvirc is that the author decided to use the "\r" character as a special control character. But "\r" is not allowed to be part of strings to be translated, and it is practically impossible to preserve it correctly when translating, because almost every tool, except for some simple text editors, will convert the character to a newline character. The author of kvirc made a very impractical decision in this and we need to refactor the code to handle it differently, as this is unsustainable in the long term. For now, we will have to check it and manually add "\r" where necessary.
Once the application build is finished, the core modules are queued for building. Since we currently support 15 versions of Debian / Raspbian / Ubuntu distributions and each has several architectures, building takes some time. It is great to see a huge number of new translations. Just rebuilding almost all packages for both PSB and PTB at the same time can take up to 14 days.
Thank you for your patience and for contributing!
