Re: A little abstract to Low German



Thank you very much, Claude and André! Must have taken all of your evening!
I have just got in contact with the coordinator of the KDE-LowGerman-Team (they are near to 100%!), so maybe the GNOME counterpart might benefit from this..
Today I am still waiting for my Git-account to be generated, so I hope to get started with uploading soon!
I found the giggle gui for git - I think I'll try that out.

Have a nice day,
nils

Ok, time for a little novel...:

First of all: thank you very much, Claude, for making me the team
coordinator for "Low German"! (Makes me kind of proud to receive that
honour! :-)

Second: I would recommend to use the _expression_ "Low German" instead
of "Low Saxon", because "Low German" is, what covers all regions of
Northern Germany, where this language is spoken and "Low Saxon" just
referrs to one region (namely Lower Saxony). But for the reason, that
there are a few more regions like Ostfriesland, Hamburg, Bremen,
Holstein, etc., it wouild make more sense to name it "Low German".
(The german _expression_ for this is "Niederdeutsch", which means "Low
German" and not "Niedersächsisch", which would mean "Low Saxon")

And I have just a few petitions:
1. Could one delete the team
"nds NFE" (http://l10n.gnome.org/teams/nds NFE) - there are no
members, nor activity and the language is already covered by "Low
German" and "Low Saxon" (http://l10n.gnome.org/teams/nds)
2. Could one also delete the entry nds NFE from the list here:
http://l10n.gnome.org/languages/
3. Could one delete the entry "Low Saxon" from here:
http://l10n.gnome.org/languages/ for benefit of the usage of "Low
German (nds)" - because "Low German" and "Low Saxon" are both linked
to the same project-site (http://l10n.gnome.org/teams/nds)
4. I could not find out how to rename the viewed group name. I get
displayed "Low German and Saxon Translation Team" - could anyone
rename it simply into "Low German Translation Team" please, or tell me
how to do it myself?
    

Together with André, we've made some housekeeping in Low German
translation team. It should be cleaner now:

http://l10n.gnome.org/teams/nds

  
And a little question:
When I choose "Low German" in the language list of my ubuntu system
(after the 2.28 release): Will my translations from the translations
group be stored here: /usr/share/locale-langpack/nds/LC_MESSAGES ?
And whats with this
folder: /usr/share/locale-langpack/nds NFE/LC_MESSAGES ? -> is this
related to the obsolete project on gnome.org? (I just have the yelp.mo
file in that local folder)
    

In future versions of GNOME, there should be only 'nds' left.

Cheers,

Claude
