 > Hi  all,   In  Oct,  2003   we  have  a  Gnome   Hindi  translation
 > workshop.  More information at 
 > http://www.indlinux.org/wiki/index.php/HindiTranslationWorkshop    .
 > This  workshop was an  exhaustive one,  where 15  people sat  for 3
 > days, coined terms for Gnome glossary and reviewed 5000 GUI strings
 > for GNOME.
 >  Coming August  we would be  holding the second workshop  in Sarai,
 > Delhi, on  1st -  3rd August.  Primary  objective of  this workshop
 > will  be to  review and  complete KDE  translations,  reviewing KDE
 > translations that have been done  to date.  This time we would like
 > to do  it differently. Instead of  working on printed  PO files, it
 > will be  done live on computer,  using tools like  KBabel.  More on
 > this workshop is attached below.
 > 
 > For more on workshop planning check
 > http://www.indlinux.org/wiki/index.php/ReviewWorkshop
 >  We would like to invite Hindi contributors on list to participate,
 > also any one based in and around Delhi. While the workshop is being
 > held at a short notice, its  was long pending also in the view that
 > a major  KDE release  (v 3.3) is  coming up  in mid August,  and we
 > would like to have clean set of translations in next release.
 >
 >  A final note on the workshop will be sent out by Monday. But dates
 > are almost final and may not change.

 > Dates: August 1-3 , 2004

 > review workshop can be divided into small groups of 2-4 people.
 > 
 >     * They will have access to two machines, one with english
 > interface , other with hindi interface.
 >     * Each group assigned a set of applications (or submenu/groups to
 > work with).
 >     *      The group will run through the app in english, and then in
 > Hindi and do following tests
 >           o consistency checking within the app, for same word
 >           o context checks, if the translation is unsuitable for the
 > current context (eg. menu, button, dialog)
 >           o UI checks, if the translated stuff is going out of bounds
 > or giving odd shape to its container (eg a dialog box).
 > 
 > The above is not just aimed for a workshop , but more to evolve a set
 > of review guidelines, which can be followed by anyone interested in
 > reviewing or having some time to spend on it.
 >
