Hi all, David find a typo in Spanish translations of Git, and ask me how to contribute, because he cannot find Spanish translations in Git source code. To my surprise, I cannot find either. Later I find out that David using Ubuntu (I use debian instead), and Ubuntu reinvent the wheel. Ubuntu has its own translation platform, and releases Git translations not with Git package itself, but releases Git translations in separate language specific packages. E.g. Spanish translations on Git is released in package "language-pack-es-base". This language specific package includes not only Git translations, but also translations of over 200 other packages. URL of Ubuntu translation homepage on Git: * https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/saucy/+source/git/+pots/git Version of Git in Ubuntu Saucy (13.10) is 1.8.3.2, but obviously the translations are based on git v1.8.0 (8 months older than v1.8.3.2). That's why even Ubuntu provides git translations in 21 different languages, but only 2 of them are 100% translated. We (Git upstream) provide Git translations in only 7 languages, but 5 of them are 100% translated now. Without context, it's hard to translate well. And contribute to upstream will benefit to more people than contribute to one specific Linux distribution. I cc this mail to Paco, the creator of Spanish translations for Git I found in this page: * https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/saucy/+source/git/+pots/git/es/+details Paco may have interest on David's question. I also send this mail to Dimitri, the owner of Git translations for Ubuntu, for reference. 2013/12/9 David Rodríguez de Dios <deivid.rodriguez@xxxxxxxxx>: > >> El lun 09 dic 2013 16:33:44 CET, Jiang Xin escribió: >>> >>> 2013/12/9 David Rodríguez de Dios <deivid.rodriguez@xxxxxxxxx>: >>> >>>> El lun 09 dic 2013 15:59:12 CET, Jiang Xin escribió: >>>> >>>>> 2013/12/9 David Rodríguez de Dios <deivid.rodriguez@xxxxxxxxx>: >>>>>> >>>>>> Hi Jiang Xin! >>>>>> >>>>>> I want to contribute to the Spanish translation by fixing a typo >>>>>> but I can't find the translation.
