In theory, they do

(since Spanish is prescriptivist, remember? ;) )

luks: well, I mean the countries domain on transifex, which is sourced from the server -- versus the list of countries that's in the picard domain (unless you've moved/changed it)

oh

not that the countries themselves will be different, but unless you've made code changes (or are generating a merged message catalog) presumably picard's still using just stuff within the picard resource

It'd be a good idea to join the lists

things get confusing when you start talking about translating languages and countries into languages from specific countries :)

haha

but yeah, we should unify the lists, ultimately

hm, cldr doesn't evidently have po files

hm, I don't even know how to translate "artist" into slovak

heh

I'd really like to know if using these generic words for something specific doesn't feel weird for native English speakers

luks: it's much worse for me the other way around

it doesn't feel right to me to use the direct translation, even though it technically really means the same

(using the equivalent of "release" feels much more restricted)

I'd like to say "musical artist"

luks: but that's not true

We have lyricists, photographers...

hm

Admittedly most *are* musical artists, but I find "artist" nice enough

(and in Spanish too)

I feel like given this is on MusicBrainz you get the contextual information that this is music-related

which is why it isn't weird to me

I'm not going to be like "oh, Bono, isn't he a famous renaissance painter?"

heh

lol

:)

I really have to download some music players with slovak translations

things like "album artist" are totally untranslatable for me

Can't you just use "album-genitive artist" and be done with it?

well, picard currently translates it as "artist's album" :)

that seems like the opposite of correct

"album's artist" is how I read that

yep

heh, the opposite of correct

Is that anti-correct?

nah, I feel like 'anti-correct' would be actively working *against* correctness

this is just passively wrong :P

the problem is that we don't generally have genitive forms of neuter gender nouns

solution: make up new words!

Or take one and give it a barely related meaning1

*!

Like "release" :p

kepstin-work: you english-speaker you ;)

however, yes

that's the only reason English has words for this shit :P

"Digital Media"

I mean, how the hell do you translate that

Just "Digital" is not too good, though

"Digital files"?

I mean, how do you translate "medium"?

Probably as disc :p

heh

<BANG>

meeting time!

it's funny that between English and Spanish, English is the one that has the derived-from-latin word

whoo meeting

'media' is... the stuff that something is in/made of

so, ocharles is on vacation, right?

and so is nikki.

I suspect this will be a short meeting. :)

warp, you around?

Any idea when nikki is back btw?

out for 2 weeks, starting May 16th.

later this week then.

Ok

I'll go then?.

sure

I spent a bunch of time working to get forums working again.

and before I left I had the machine working.

but dave wanted a more isolated network configuration and when he tried to put it into place, the machine's network config got hosed.

so I need to go rescue it now.

and then I ran off to a music festival for a much needed break.

who else for review?

I can go, briefly

go

domains for i18n are mostly split, but I haven't yet migrated translations from the existing ones, so while they're up on transifex they're mostly sitting at 0% done

if people have opinions on i18n, I'd encourage them to go look and see if the splits seem weird to them -- but they're probably about set

picard moved to transifex today, so things are consolidating too -- which is good

nice

I'm still waiting on my main computer to get to AZ (scheduled for friday), but I'll hopefully get translations migrated before then

and then start working on the server knowing how to use them :)

(and that's all for me)

Splits look good to me FWIW

going strong in the first week. nicely done. :)

plaintext, bitmap, alastairp? any updates from you?

reosarevok has already been translating some spanish, he migrated those for himself :P

I had to study a lot this week, so I didn't have much time for gsoc :(

After tomorrow I will have much much more time

plaintext: ok, no problem. lets touch base on wednesday?

er, thursday?

my week was split between picard and gsoc. I've made good progress with gsoc though :)

ruaok, wednesday is ok too, I have my exam tomorrow

plaintext: ok

bitmap: oooh, can we see? ;)

I'll put up the gsoc blogs onto our blog later today.

can each of you make at least one post a week?

my first task is due june 10 (relate multiple recordings on a release to works) and I really only need to have it submit the edits, so I might finish early

i would like to see those posts on monday morning, so we can review them before our meeting.

sure

ocharles isn't here though, and I wanted to ask if I should take over the relationship-edtitor branch so that I have somewhere to push

bitmap: clone it for now maybe?

bitmap: might be best to start a new branch off that one.

okay, that works

ruaok: when you say "onto our blog" you mean to make them autopost to it? Or just to post the links?

the latter.

in the sidebar.

reosarevok: interesting idea. maybe next year, since I already chased everyone to make a blog. :)

ok, lets call review done.

Tsk-tsk

I wanted to go :p

It's quick

oh, sorry. go!

Basically: a) I've finally gotten my sandbox running, with a lot of help from ianmcorvidae

b) that means I've been submitting small patches, again with a lot of help from ianmcorvidae in some (most? :) ) cases

eh, I helped with two

you've submitted what, 8? 10?

No, you basically did 2, and helped with half the rest :p

Anyway

And c) we now allow linking to multiple new DBs, including OCRemix and Theatricalia (who had asked us about it)

awesome

Autoselect + sidebar stuff for all that goes out on the next release

but basically, http://reosarevok.mbsandbox.org/release/f187461...

And I think that's all for now - style has been going along pretty fine as far as style can do

looking good!

thanks for the update.

onward then.

CAA is on the blink again, IA is investigating as we speak.

Yeah

anything else wrt to CAA right now?

It's the second or third time this weekend

So they really should check what happens

If they need servers, please give them a server shower

And if they need code, it's becoming annoying enough that it might make sense to offer a bit of help from our devs if needed

I tried to give them servers, they never got back to me.

I think this is mostly a hosting issue.

and they've not had partners who are pushing new stuff to them every single hour of the day.

so, its somewhat growing pains for them.

:)

ruaok: sorry. was at physio

ianmcorvidae: thanks for adding the timeline CAA stuff. :)

I'm quite happy we didn't announce it too loud for now :)

alastairp: np. got anything accomplished last week?

I can jump in now, or later?
