Re: KDE-i18n Project Status

Assalamou Alaikom,
This is great. I'm able to give at least *1 hour* a day to help in KDE and maybe more in the weekends.
Now, before I can reall help in translation, I need help in setting up KBabel.
As I read in the translators FAQ that I must setup the Dictionary Database, but I couldn't get that
at all in RedHat 7.3. I'm using the RedHat updated KBabel (I think 0.9.6) still when I goto
Settings -> Configure Dictionary, I find only PO Auxiliary and PO compendium, but not
the Translation Database! It doesn't even appear in any other place.
I tried downloading version 1.1 and compile it. But still the same problem.
Am I missing the module or what?

Please help, and after this is solved, I might even be able to dedicate more than one hour and still
work on the full_wordlist.po file too :)

Salam,

After much confusion and some time of stagnation, I have decided to once
again take over the KDE-i18n project and act as coordinator.

I have just sync'ed the Arabeyes CVS with KDE's. Please be sure to
update
your local working copies if you are working on translations.

There are several very important issues at hand.

1. If you are serious about working on the KDE-i18n project please be
sure
  to reply to this post. I also need an estimate of the kind of time
you
  will be able to put in. Even if you are unable to commit time at the
  moment, still do reply and give an estimate as to when you can
commit.

2. Based on #1 I will assign modules to each individual. I will also
post
  the list of priorities here and on the KDE-i18n project page:
    http://www.arabeyes.org/project.php?proj=kde-i18n
  So please be sure to visit it every now and then.

3. I will follow-up with KDE's CVS branches as well. This means that the
  CVS usage on Arabeyes will be slighty different, because you will
  then need to specify the branch when you checkout and commit files
  (unless you are only working on HEAD, which is the default). I will
  also ask for translators to work on a given branch and leave another,
  as needed. This will allow us to easily move between branches and
releases
  without losing effort.

Please, do respond ASAP to this. I expect responses from the people
involved
within a week's time. As for newcomers, they will be auto-assigned
modules
so we don't have to go through this process of, "what would you like to
have
for dinner today?". That is of course, unless someone already wants to
work on something specific ;)

Thank you.
