    How come yum is about 10% translated into German? Come on, either do it all or don't do it.... !fedora

    about a year ago from heybuddy at Bonn, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany

      @nailuj I am NOT gonna report that bug. I have zero interest in tracking or testing this and no time for that either...

      @nailuj I was just pointing it out. You know.... All this "end user focus" and that. And our primary package manager isn't even translated.

      @fabsh That sounds like a volunteer :)

      @fabsh Well then why not do it yourself? Since you're so annoyed.

      @bioselement Because I HAVE NO TIME.

      @fabsh I know, I know, just wanted to nag at you a bit ;) If it's a major annoyance for you, you can always translate it yourself ;)

      @nailuj I could and I would if I used it myself in German.... ;)

      @fabsh that's probably why it's still at 10%. Those who could translate it use it in English to see no need

      @carlosmn Then why is the "translation" released? That's BS. Especially if we are now an end-user distro....

      @fabsh I guess the thought is that a partial translation is better than none at all. Wouldn't an end-user use some GUI app?

      @carlosmn So if end-users use GUI apps why are we even translating CLI apps?

      @carlosmn And no: With something as important than a package manager, you need to understand EVERY output of the app!

      @fabsh Perhaps you're not the only one who doesn't have time? Seems rather unfair to complain that anyone even tried.

      @fabsh that's a good question, I guess it was up on some web service and someone started. yum is RH/Fedora specific, right?

      @fabsh this is true, maybe Fedora should do a translations week or some event to pick up some low-hanging fruit

      @bioselement Why is the only response to criticism in the F/OSS world "do it yourself"? Can't you just say "yeah, we need to fix that"?

    • Fabian Scherschel Fabian Scherschel William Chambers

      @bioselement And how the hell am I being unfair? The translation is crap, just look at it.... That might be brutally honest but not unfair!

      @fabsh some cli users might like to get their cli apps in their own language as well. Besides, yum output is also shown in gnome-packagekit.

      @vpv Yeah. That was what I was thinking. 10% German output isn't really suitable for my parents (not saying which one here).

      @fabsh I didn't say that. I just asked if you'd help do it. You choose to take it as an attack. But it's unfair to complain about attempts.

      about a year ago
    • Fabian Scherschel Fabian Scherschel William Chambers

      @bioselement I don't complain about attempts. I complain about results, because frankly someone needs too or nothing would ever be done...
