Translating pacman for the 4.2 release

Allan · 2014-11-23 10:11:19

Hi everyone!

I plan to make the next pacman release during the week of the 8th of December.

One thing that we need help with is translating all the strings into lots of languages. We have a good teams for many languages, but there are quite a few that have been started and never finished and some potential omissions.

If you would like to help, take a look at our transifex page. https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/archlinux-pacman/ The languages with at least 88% translated will probably get done by the current team, but if you want to help with any less complete language or add a missing one, just apply on the site.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Do you mind clarifying what "Failed to pass assume installed entry to libalpm" is supposed to mean?

That is a really awful string...

In pacman-4.2 you can do "pacman -Syu --assume-installed perl-5.20" and that will make pacman act as if perl-5.20 is already installed. So that is when the "assume installed" entry is passed to the backend.

I'd guess the "assume installed" should really be joint by a hyphen and not translated... I'll change that next release.

Thank you for the explanation. I've hyphenated it in my translation for now.
