Preparing for release 0.9.8.2: Call for Translations

Hi,

I'm now preparing to release 0.9.8.2, which I intend to distribute more
widely than the last couple of releases, as I believe it has achieved
much of the polish of earlier 0.9.7.x series releases (and perhaps
beyond), and has significantly enhanced CalDAV support over those
releases.

The rewrite of the administrative screens is now complete, and I have
worked hard to try and make as much of the UI as possible translatable.

I know a couple of you have provided me with updated translations
recently, which has been great, but some changes have happened since
then...

In particular, after I reviewed the program with the Japanese
translation active, it became very obvious to me that certain UI
elements were not able to be translated because they weren't being
passed through the translation system.

In so far as it is possible, I have fixed this, so almost all strings
should now be localisable.

If any translators have the time over the next few days to review the
current localisation for their language and provide me with an updated
copy it would be greatly appreciated, and I will endeavour to include
these into the 0.9.8.2 release.

The localisation files are available here (make sure to download the
'raw' link):

http://repo.or.cz/w/davical.git/tree/HEAD:/po

If you are interested in translating DAViCal into another language, not
yet included in here (or just for background reading :-), there is more
information regarding the translation process here:

http://wiki.davical.org/w/Translating_DAViCal

I expect to initially release this early next week, with wider releases
happening later in the week.

Thanks,
Andrew.

Hi,

Here is the revise of Japanese translation (zipped and attached).

Actually, I was wondering if I could translate those elements.
Thank you for your concern, Andrew.

Thank you for your follow up.
As you say, I have confused 'No' with 'No.'
Japanese frequently uses the abbreviation 'No.' too,
but we often have a bad habit of omitting the trailing character. :-(
I've attached the modified version with the additional strings.

Regards,
Masahiro Mikami
