I see that now that 0.70 is released, the release summary is in English on the French page. Is the web update process automatic? For ex, if I updated the FR translation on Weblate, would the modifications be taken into account right away?

So all this work is a waste of time. See for example: https://blog.duolingo.com/what-is-grammatical-gender/ but there are tons of examples almost everywhere... -- Amike, Marco Ciampa

POD module parameters

by Fat-Zer

I've been looking through documentation and there seems to be a list of parameters for the POD module[1]. But it seems there are no appearances of those in the actual sources. Neither they seem to actually do anything when passed to `po4a-translate -o`. Are the docs outdated/incorrect or am I missing something?

Planned po4a release on January 15. Please translate & test

by Martin Quinson

Hello friends, I think we have a rather interesting set of changes in the git, and would like to go for a release in a week or so. Please test the current git if you have an opportunity, and update your translations if you have some. The current state of the translations are the following: Binaries: 1 language >= 95%: es (96%). 14 languages >= 90%: de (94%), eo (92%), fr (94%), hr (90%), it (94%), ja (94%), nb (93%), nl (94%), pt (94%), pt_BR (94%), sr_Cyrl (94%), uk (94%), zh_Hans (90%), zh_Hant (90%). 2 languages >= 80%: hu (88%), ru (89%). 1 language >= 70%: id (74%). 8 languages >= 50%: cs (56%), da (62%), et (65%), eu (54%), pl (60%), sl (54%), sv (69%), vi (65%). 1 language >= 33%: ca (43%). 6 starting languages: ace (2%), af (7%), ar (13%), ka (16%), kn (7%), ko (18%). Documentation: 8 languages >= 95%: de (96%), es (97%), fr (96%), it (96%), ja (96%), nl (96%), sr_Cyrl (96%), uk (96%). 4 languages >= 90%: pt (91%), pt_BR (91%), zh_Hans (90%), zh_Hant (90%). 2 languages >= 50%: pl (65%), ru (62%). 1 language >= 33%: ca (42%). 4 starting languages: eo (2%), hr (0%), hu (0%), nb (4%). The changelog is here: https://github.com/mquinson/po4a/blob/master/NEWS There is a possibility that we need another release shortly after this one, in case some bugs are reported against all those changes, but maybe not. Will see. Thanks for your help, and have a good one. Mt

Please test the current git version of po4a

by Martin Quinson

Hello friends, I just pushed a big cleanup in the po4a source code. Instead of messing up manually with encoding, I switched to PerlIO, the modernity introduced 15 years ago to Perl. This makes the code more maintainable on the long term, but it will very probably break things around. We have a comprehensive test suite, but I doubt that it will be enough. I had a breakage on po4a itself that didn't show up when running the tests, but only when using po4a to build itself, thus showing the limits of our tests. In particular, we have almost no tests about how po4a reacts to misconfiguration. Bingo, po4a was declaring an XML file with Latin1 encoding while the file was actually UTF-8. The new version is more picky about it. @Tobias, it'd be really great if you had the time to test the debian package build-depending on us. I always forget how to do that seamlesly (ie, without uploading a package to unstable). Maintainers of other distributions are welcome to test po4a as extensively as they can, too. Please report any issue either here per email, or through the github bug tracker. We can also chat over IRC on OFTC #po4a, or even through Discord on https://discord.gg/fcgF7nTXtb Also, these changes invalidated the translations quite a bit. Translators may want to start updating their files, but nothing is frozen yet and the strings may change if we find bugs around the new strings. I would personnaly advise to wait before updating the translations, but do as you see fit. Have a good one, Mt
