Malagasy Translation Team Application

Hi Mariot,

Thanks for your interest in translating Ubuntu into Malagasy and for going through the approval process.

You are mentioning a team you've created, but you don't include any links to it. Could you please point us to the team?

In any case, we've got a naming policy of ubuntu-l10n-<languagecode> for Ubuntu translation teams, and it would be much better to get the https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-l10n-mg to be appointed, rather than a new, duplicate team.

Have you tried contacting the owner of https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-l10n-mg? I'd suggest doing that and asking him/her to give you the ownership of the team, as they seem to be inactive. If he/she is not responsive, we can then ask a Launchpad administrator to transfer you the ownership.

Please keep us posted on the progress.

Hi David,

Thanks for your interest in the building of the Malagasy Translation Team.
Sorry for that miserable mistake of mine. The link of the team is https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-l10n-mlg
I've contacted the owner of https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-l10n-mg but he haven't answered yet.
I'm still working on the guidelines and I think it will be ready within the 6 months you gave me.

Thanks for your time.
Mariot.

Hello again David,

I've created a wiki page for the team : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuMalagasyTranslators
If it doesn't bother you, could you tell me please what else could I put into that wiki page to make it acceptable?
I plan to link that wiki page and make it the translation guidelines if the team is accepted.

Thank you.
Mariot.

Hello David,

I'm still working on the translation guidelines.
The owner of https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-l10n-mg is not responsive. I guess I have to ask a Launchpad administrator to transfer the ownership.

Thank you.
Mariot.

This question was expired because it remained in the 'Open' state without activity for the last 15 days.

Hello, I am Mariot.
This question is about the creation of a traduction team.
It must be open so that Launchpad administrators can accept the team.
Thank you.

Hello.
I added some lines in the guidelines.
Thank you.
Mariot

Hi Mariot,

Thanks for following this up. You're now the owner of https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-l10n-mg, and I'd be happy to appoint your team for the translation of Ubuntu. Before I do that, do you think you could look into the following points?:

* Add some basic information on https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-l10n-mg about:
  * Welcome note
  * The purpose of the team
  * How to join it
  * Links to translation guidelines
  * Additionally, I'd suggest writing all this in Malagasy instead of English, as the people coming to that page will speak Malagasy. But this is up to you, it's just a suggestion
* Set the contact e-mail to the @lists.ubuntu.com mailing list you've got

The following can wait, but it'd be great if you could do it too:

* In order to avoid duplication, could you please open a new request to delete the now obsolete https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-l10n-mg team?

Hello David,

I added an welcome note, our aim, how to join and a link to guidelines at (https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-l10n-mg)
I wrote all this in Malagasy as you suggested.
Our mailing list address is <email address hidden>
I've already deleted https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-l10n-mlg (the one I created) and I sent an application for https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-l10n-mg because you said that it was better to take control of the old team to avoid duplication.

Thank you very much,
Mariot

Thanks David Planella, that solved my question.
