=== New Team for Kashmiri and New Coordinator Marathi ===
=== Website Translation Process Update ===


[[RakeshPandit]] announced[2] the start of the Kashmiri Translation Project for Fedora. The Marathi Translation team found its new coordinator in [[SandeepShedmake]][3].
[[RickyZhou]] reminded about the requirement of notification to be sent to the fedora-websites team for the inclusion of translations for a new language[3]. It is to be noted, that for new languages the relevant language code is also required to be added to the LINGUAS file. However, the notification sent to the fedora-websites team ensures that the apache configuration is modified to activate the translations for the new language.

[[TimWaugh]] announced that the branch 1.1.x of System-Config-Printer is to be used for submitting translations. This branch has been activated for submission on translate.fedoraproject.org by [[DimitrisGlezos]]. Additionally, the obsolete branches for System-Config-Printer have been removed from the submission interface[5].


=== Packagekit Translations for Fedora 11 ===


[[RichardHughes]], the maintainer of Packagekit announced that a new version of the package would be released in a couple of weeks and this version would be included in Fedora 11. He mentions that quite a few popular languages do not have complete translations at the moment. Translators can mail the packagekit mailing list for queries regarding translateable strings[4]. Meanwhile, it has been noticed that both the Gnome and Fedora Status pages do not contain updated translations statistics for this package[5].

=== Fedora 11 Release Schedule Plans ===


=== Confusion over Translations for Newly Coined Words ===
[[JohnPoelstra]] has drafted the Documentation and Translation Schedules for the upcoming Fedora 11 Release[6]. The Translation Schedule has been based upon the Documentation Schedule. FLSCo member [[NorikoMizumoto]] has been providing feedback from the FLP about the Translation Schedule. Earlier during the week, [[DimitrisGlezos]] attended the Fedora 11 Alpha Readiness Meeting[7][8].


[[RichardvanderLuit]] brought forward an interesting problem related to the translations of newly coined words for English, which are specifically targetted for computer science[6]. The word in question is "untrusted" which differs from the general English antonym for "trusted".

=== Branching of Fedora Packages ===
[8] https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-trans-list/2009-January/msg00116.html


[[AnkitPatel]] started a discussion about the availability of a branching process in the VCS for Fedora packages, to provide for backporting of translations[7]. MiloslavTrmac (Mirek) suggested submitting patches in bugzilla for such cases, as upstream packages generally do not branch out for versions in the distributions[8]. Linking up the translation interface with an automated bug sumission process was suggested by [[AsgeirFrimannsson]] as a possible solution[9]. Discussions still continue, listing merits and demerits of the possibility of large scale backporting via bugzilla and separation of the translations from the packages.
=== Anaconda bug due to UTF characters ===


[7] https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-trans-list/2009-January/msg00046.html
[[VillePekkaVainio]] mentions the presence of a bug[9] in Anaconda that is caused by the presence of UTF-8 characters more than 2 bytes wide[10]. As a result the translated interface is damaged.

He explains that based upon the outcome of this discussion, further plans can be determined about restructuring the infrastructure.
