Description Alexandru Szasz 2009-03-10 13:01:24 UTC

Please add Romanian (ro) to the openoffice.org list of localizations supported. We're currently working on it (57% UI translated), but there's definitely an advantage already for people that speak only Romanian.

We update regularly the file hosted here: http://tradu.softwareliber.ro/data/import/1/GSI_ro.sdf.bz2 that contains the translations. The file is also used in Pavel's builds (linux.cz).

Let me know if you need the file in another format.

Comment 1 Caolan McNamara 2009-03-10 13:09:59 UTC

Have you submitted your translations upstream to qa.openoffice.org yet ?, if so under what id ?

Comment 2 Alexandru Szasz 2009-03-10 13:21:19 UTC

No, I did not. I am the project lead of the Romanian OO.o project, is there a link that describes that process and is it needed to proceed here ?

I'm willing to add translations manually on a temporary basis, but not on a permanent one requiring continual updating as I'd be totally overwhelmed very quickly. If there's a submission upstream for, e.g. the next OOo version, then I'm happy enough to add that version in for the next Fedora OOo release.

Comment 4 Alexandru Szasz 2009-03-10 14:59:22 UTC

Ok, I understand. I've seen in the spec some external sources for some languages, that's why I thought of submitting this bug.

If I submit it upstream when it's 100% UI done will you pick it up from there or do I need to come back with a bug here ?

Comment 5 Caolan McNamara 2009-03-10 15:35:07 UTC

If you look at the .spec you'll see the issue number above them like so...

Source10:       http://www.puimula.org/htp/ooo/gsi/3.1/GSI_fi.sdf.gz
...
# i98704
cp %{SOURCE10} .
gzip -d GSI_fi.sdf.gz
localize -m -x -l fi -f GSI_fi.sdf

So i98704 denotes http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=98704

The best thing to do is to finish the translations. Log it upstream like those examples and then re-open this issue with a reference to the upstream issue.

There is a slight extra complication in that there hasn't been a previous Romanian translation included in Fedora, so its a new translation rather than an updated one. In this case, even when the updated translations is included in an OOo release or accepted for one, there won't automatically be a langpack in Fedora. So you need to come back with a bug/request here.

So, I'll close this as "deferred" or something for now. And you can re-open it when you've submitted your work upstream and at that stage we can add the langpack to fedora OOo.

Comment 6 Alexandru Szasz 2009-12-24 11:23:35 UTC

Hi,

I've submitted the language pack a while ago here: http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=106453

Comment 7 Caolan McNamara 2009-12-24 12:01:01 UTC

Excellent, these are in 3.2 now, so now enabled those translations in rawhide, will be in build >= 3.2.0-8.4
