Jaunty packages for gtranslator 1.9.4 with dictionary

amrlima — Sat, 07 Feb 2009 02:43:50 +0000

Just a quick update on my gtranslator ppa packages for jaunty. Now you can have the dictionary plugin.

Testing is welcome since I don’t have jaunty installed (Not even on a VM, damn 3G connection!).

Packages are available at:

Gtranslator is heading fast to the 2.0 release. The 1.9.4 version has been released, read the details here.

I’ve build debs for Intrepid and they are available at my ppa:

Gtranslator 2 on my launchpad ppa

One of the things I do more to support free software are translations. Having a good application to translate .po files is a big help in doing so. Unfortunately GNOME doesn’t have a really good .po editor application. Gedit is nice but it’s like a pocket knife, does a bit of everything but for some tasks it’s limited. But that was until now! Gtranslator – a po editor for GNOME – was a project that was stalled for some time but a couple of GNOME devs (Pablo Sanxiao Ignacio Casal Quinteiro) resumed the project.

I’ve been reading a bit about some new exciting features of Gtranslator and har to try it out. So I got the code from subversion and compiled. In the way I made some debs to have around (learning a lot in the way) and I’ve built debian packages for Intrepid in my personal ppa for i386, amd64 and lpia architectures.

The open-tran and subversion plugins are really cool. Only one plugin wasn’t built (dictionary) since I still couldn’t figure out all the dependencies for it. If someone knows tell me! EDIT: The lib that the dictionary plugin depends is only available in jaunty so thats the reason I couldn’t find it.

The interface is (almost) all in English althought the .po files are there for other languages. It’s another “small” problem of my build or a bug – still trying to find wich one is true.

So if you want to try gtranslator and it’s great plugins just to to my ppa https://launchpad.net/~amrlima/+archive.

I must warn you that this is software under development and it may eat you cat and dog for lunch!

Resoluções de ano novo não é comigo mas…

Este ano parece-me que vai ser – mais um – de loucos,logo vai ser necessário para manter o rumo a nível não pessoal. A nível profissional prevejo tempos turbulentos com possíveis mudanças mais cedo ou mais tarde… Mas isso fica para outra altura. Nestas resoluções vou colocar apenas o que quero realizar no meu tempo livre.

- Aprender a criar pacotes para Ubuntu/Debian (já fiz pelo menos um que funciona ) e ver se me torno relativamente bom nisso.

- Avançar na minha aprendizagem de python que tem estado parada. Criar programas com mais de 50 linhas de código

- Avançar com o meu site-projecto

- Voltar a fazer exercício físico. Bicicleta era o ideal, mas sem máquina é difícil… corrida terá de ser.

- Continuar a contribuir com traduções para o GNOME

E acho que já chega. Sendo muitas para tão pouco tempo disponível, vai ser difícil cumprir todas, mas é preferível pensar em grande.
