This can not be true

Hello Apache, Hello OpenOffice-PMC, Hello Community,

I am absolutely horrified that in a situation where we have to overcome problems together, no reasonable planning takes place.

How can it be that even though *there was a help offer for the translation*, a press release is simply published in English without coordinating internationally?

How could appear the following article (which is supposed to be a press release) without waiting for possible translations?

https://blogs.apache.org/foundation/entry/the_apache_openoffice_project_announces



I disagree with this approach.


Jörg

the following:

"... ist eine gelegentliche Stille nicht ungew�hnlich ..."

"... Das war bis vor kurzem auch bei OpenOffice der Fall ..."

Thanks

Small note for the german release notes at:

I found two occasions where it says "Openoffice" instead of "OpenOffice".

But let me thank you personally for the translations!

Exactly, that is the problem.

I am ready to make a translation as quickly as possible, but I need practically at least 24-48 hours of time.

Yes, that would be a possibility.

I have little time, because of my professional activity, but I will try to make the translation as fast as possible. I think within 48 hours.

Jörg

I'm sorry when something was not understood. I got the request from 
Joerg (and Dick for Dutch) to translate it press release. However, there 
was not hint that we should wait until this is ready. I really didn't 
thought that this was important.

We will add this task to the cookbook and consider it for the next release.

Again, I'm sorry when the timing was not perfectly coordinated.

That's for sure a good idea. Then we can link to the translated text.

I agree with Joerg here. We did it for the release notes, and we can do 
it for the announcements (Press releases) too.

Two thing must be said: there was no time for coordination since the 
press release had been accidentally made available before the planned 
date; and the press release is traditionally kept confidential before 
issuing it (while the Release notes are not).

Still, I agree that translation volunteers must be given access to the 
Press Release so that they can translate it and issue it soon after the 
English one. We must make sure to do so starting with the next release.

Joerg, what if we create a copy of the Press Release on the CWiki and we 
append each translation as child page? Would it work? I'm going to do 
the same for Italian as soon as I have some time for it. And then we 
will edit the English blog post to link to translations.

Regards,
   Andrea.

I have started a Wiki page on "How to Cook a Release", 
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/How+to+Cook+a+Release, 
so that we will know everything that needs to be done and how to do it. 
That should reduce the risk of something important getting missed. I'm 
adding a section on Translations.

What documents, other than the release notes and the press release, 
should be translated?
