OxhKqu:

Go to the main [http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Translation_information Translation information] page.

= Intro =
* I'm a French guy living in <strike>France</strike> England (London), <strike>but wanting to move (anywhere, as long as it is in a mountain area) (moutains are quite small near London)</strike>.
* My main tasks on Inkscape consist in the translation of interface and documents to French.
* My motivation for contributing to the development of Inkscape is that I want to be able to draw some small maps/topos for my favourite hobbies (caving, climbing, mountaineering, biking).
* I can be contacted via email (matiphas at free dot fr) or be found on irc freenode/#inkscape (nickname matiphas[fr] or gero).

= Todo list: =
== Translation ==
* polish French translations (typography, style...) before <strike>0.45</strike> 0.46
** must polish translations of interface, tutorial and release notes
** replace the following by appropriate char : accentuated upcase chars, ..., non-breakable spaces, half spaces, ", oe, x, - (etc.)
* take a look at disambiguification of strings in interface, plus translatability of some new strings (palette names/colors...)
* Translate release notes to French
** 0.46 not started yet
** 0.45 on going
** 0.44 done, needs a review
** 0.43 done (not by me), review on going
** others : starting now
* Translate to French "a guide to Inkscape" (on going)
* Involve Lubomira on translation some content to Slovak

== Support/Process ==
* Update Inkscape Terminology wiki page (on going) : see http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/InkscapeTerminology
* Join some other translation teams (Gnome/KDE)
** Already joined Rosetta (Ubuntu), but did not find much time to really involve
* Update FAQ :
** not started yet. Must set this up for 0.45
** take lead on update of FAQ page incorporation in package
* Work on some embedded help content : see http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Embedded_help
* Interviews and articles
** interview questions reviewed by Bryce and Pygmee (thanks). Now trying to find potential victims!
** try to code a small extension, and write an article about this (English and French).
** start a small article on basic utilisation of Inkscape
* Take a look again to Tutorials brought by http://www.linuxgraphic.org, and see if they can be adapted to Inkscape

== Tools ==
* test xml2po for French tutorials and keys.xml
** (German guys are quite strong with it)
** test xml2po on tutorials illustrations : Colin reported it works ! (must say that Colin is a tough guy !)
* check again xslt for generating tutorials (saxon is a nightmare on my machine)
** install Dapper Ubuntu instead of Breezy
** verify Java is much more usable (gcj or sun?)
** test again Saxon
* test OmegaT for translations
** same, java is needed for this
** must not forget that OmegaT team has been very nice, helping us finding some new translator contacts, and is also able to provide fast and efficient support when i will test the application

= Done =
== Translation ==
* Interface translation to French: 0.40, 0.41, 0.42, 0.43, 0.44, 0.45.
