Scots Gaelic

Ok, I'll have a bash at maintaining Gaelic (again) as I've heard from 
someone that you can do that by "proxy".

The current version is full of junk so I'll start from scratch - could 
someone please bundle me blank po files (just AOO, not Help) for en > gb 
an email them or put them somewhere for download? I'll work on them and 
when I'm done I'll upload them and provide a link where an admin can 
grab them and commit them (over-writing what's there at the moment).

Cheers

Hi Rob,

 it has ben fixed few hours ago, sorry to be late answering you but I spent
the last hours enjoying TAP Portugal delays.

 As a general rule we keep under control the few spam messages that can get
through the filters, unfortunately Extensions' authors can't take care of
spam themselves with the actual site.

Spam on Extension site

Posted by Michael Bauer <fi...@akerbeltz.org>.
Hiya,

I have a problem that doesn't seem to fit any list and I'm only 
subscribed to this one these days so I might as well as here ;)

I have a spellchecking extension 
(http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/en/project/faclair-afb) and 
we've just picked up a spam comment but I cannot for the life of me find 
some way of deleting it or a setting that requires approval of future 
comments. Any ideas what to do?

Cheers

Michael

Probably not unless you've done something - I did not include the Help 
files in the zip - I don't have access to the en-US Help files and it's 
probably quicker if Jürgen grabs them from the source to overwrite them 
over the current version.

Cheers

PING Jürgen

Can you please upload the PO files? Bug is
https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=120708
I've made a build for
https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=117857 and everything
looked ok according to Michael.

I've found some warnings with the PO files, see
https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=120708#c2 but I've no idea
what they mean, nor know if they are critic, at least building didn't
break.

Applying the PO files will result in a en-US Online Help, as requested
by https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=120709

Yes, drop the existing "stuff", it's not really a translation. I think 
someone ran an algorithm, matching a short wordlist against words 
occurring in the help files and then, without any manual intervention, 
submitted that. In a word, it's cr**. Replacing it with en-US at least 
ensures that users get help files they can understand rather than 
gibberish.
> I am no expert here, I have to check and understand it first...
Ok, in which case the most painless way is probably to wait for a 
nightly build/release candidate and for me to check if it's ok, rather 
than sending you off chasing code. Do we have rcs/nightlies?

I'm no expert here, I just happen to know C++ and how to build AOO ;)
Nevertheless I'll try to search in the source and answer as far as
I could understand

The DTD doesn't say this explicitly, but all instructions are uppercase
for both date and time format. You can find the DTD in
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/incubator/ooo/trunk/main/i18npool/source/localedata/data/locale.dtd?revision=1292501&view=markup#l234
It has some interesting comments and hints, like the one for
OOO_ENABLE_LOCALE_DATA_CHECKS

default="false" means it's not treated as the default format for that
usage and type. Note that there can be only one default="true" per usage
and type, according to
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/incubator/ooo/trunk/main/i18npool/source/localedata/LocaleNode.cxx?revision=1198251&view=markup#l652


> I may have to tweak, depending on the answer to either question, sorry.

Once you attach the new version to the bug, I can commit this in trunk
and you can try it with a nightly build; unfortunately, the only build
bot finishing its build is the Linux 64 bits bot.

Re: Scots Gaelic

Good point actually, this XML set was done such a long time ago... Two 
questions

1) Does AOO handle the abbreviations the same way as CLDR? For example, 
if CLDR has dd/MM/yyyy but the AOO has DD/MM/YYYY, does that produce the 
same output?

2) If it says
default="false"
does that mean the format is ignored completely or just not the default 
format?

I may have to tweak, depending on the answer to either question, sorry.

Could you attach the PO file to a Bugzilla issue? That way you can
free up your server space immediately.   There is a L10n category.

Progress on this may be slow for the next couple of weeks, due to vacations.

Thanks!

By the way, can you let me know when you've grabbed the files so I can 
take them off the server again? Thanks.

It does not appear as if the locale issue was solved in 3.4.0 (which was 
the first AOO release, unless I'm mistaken) so I suspect it will need 
fixing for 3.4.1

you know better what make sense here because you understand the language.

So you mean it is better to drop the existing help translation and
replace it with an empty or default en-US one?

Re: Scots Gaelic

Hi Jürgen,

Yeah that worked. Done and uploaded to 
http://www.akerbeltz.org/sealach/gd.zip Please remember to overwrite 
existing strings or we'll end up with one big mess (the problem I 
describe down below about the help files also applies to a lot of the 
files currently in pootle for Gaelic)

Before you ask, yes, I had most of that ready anyway but no, there is no 
license issue as it's all my own translation anyway. There used to be a 
patial translation from way back but it was so bad I worked from clean 
files.

Which brings me onto another point, I would recommend that the help 
files be either wiped clean or removed completely. What's up there right 
now is a really bad upload of some pre-matching - open any file and 
you'll see what I mean, for example "Spreadsheet values from Calc cell 
ranges" is "Cliath-dhuilleag" (which means spreadsheet) or "Values that 
you enter in the Chart Data Table dialog (you can create these charts in 
Writer, Draw, or Impress, and you can copy and paste them also to Calc)" 
is "Luachan Cairt-iùil Dàta Clàr Tarraing agus agus gu" which means 
"values chart data table draw and and to". So the current % give a 
totally wrong impression and would be more of a hindrance than a help.

In any case, my locale is so small that there is no way the help files 
will ever get translated, it's just SO low down the list of priorities.

The other thing is, is there a way of checking if the locale xml for 
Scottish Gaelic has been added? I remember that in the last released 
version, Gaelic didn't have any associated locale XML (for currencies, 
date format etc etc). If not, we can either use what's on CLDR 
(http://unicode.org/cldr/trac/attachment/ticket/3914/gd.xml) or I'll 
have to do a smaller one if you let me know what needs to be in it.

Cheers,

Michael

Hi Michael,

I have prepared a set of UI related po files for Scottish Gaelic (gd)
based on the 3.4.1 sources. No helpcontent included!

You can find it under
http://people.apache.org/~jsc/sdf/aoo341_ui_po_gd.tar.bz2

Please let me know if it works for you or if you need something else.

Thanks again
